A recent offer on the official Guitar Hero: World Tour (http://www.joystiq.com/search/?q=Guitar%20Hero%3A%20World%20Tour) site has had us scratching our heads all day (much to the chagrin of our dandruff-covered keyboards). The oddly-worded promotion (http://freemusic.guitarhero.com/) states that if you purchase (or have purchased) the 360 or PS3 versions of the Complete Guitar Game bundle of GH:WT before the end of the year, you'll be able to "choose five free downloadable tracks." The promotional site is currently adorned with a banner asking potential downloaders to "check back soon".
We're confused as to why they're only extending the offer to purchasers of the $90 Complete Guitar Game bundle (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/10/06/activision-clarifies-guitar-hero-world-tour-pricing/), which only includes a wireless guitar and the game disc, and not to owners of the $190 full band kit or standalone game -- perhaps its a measure to boost sales of the guitar bundle? We also don't know why Wii World Tour-ers are excluded from the deal. Also, from what pool will we be "choosing" our five free downloadable tracks? The pre-existing DLC? A new batch of track packs? The complete discography of Michael Bolton? Hopefully we'll know more when the promotion goes live.Activision to offer five free DLC tracks to GH: World Tour guitar bundle owners (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/12/13/activision-to-offer-five-free-dlc-tracks-to-gh-world-tour-guita/) originally appeared on Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com) on Sat, 13 Dec 2008 20:30:00 EST.
