These prices are outlandish.

But, there is no precedence for this kind of thing, so companies don't know what they can get away with. ...well, not this. ...at least from me.

The thing is: I want the DL content. ...all of it. But I want to buy ONE pack, with all the songs, for $30. The going rate for a full-expansion pack, like Oblivion: Shivering Isles.

The thing that pisses me off, is that even if MS and Red Octane cave in, and cut the price in half, it's still too much. People keep comparing to iTunes, but it's not the same. an iTunes file is more versatile and ultimately, more useful, that a GH2 track. You're stuck with it (a cover song, no less) on YOUR console ONLY. Even at half price, it'd be over a buck, and buying all the songs would be almost the same as buying the retail disc, sans guitar.

I thought DL content was supposed to cut out production costs to pass savings on the consumer...

Don't buy. We have the power. Ultimately, demand sets the price.
