The capitalistic executives over at Interscope Records just announced plans for a Guitar Hero III soundtrack that will include not only music from the game, but also a code to download three additional songs for the game.The GH III soundtrack is set to release on October 30th just two days after GH III jams into stores, and will come packaged with a code that will be redeemable via the XBLM. The code will unlock three downloadable in-game songs including "Carcinogen Crush" by AFI, "Tina" by Flyleaf and a remixed version of Marilyn Manson's "Putting Holes in Happiness" performed by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Nick Zinner. Here's to hoping that Interscope doesn't tack on an additional $6.25 to the cost of the soundtrack, because of the three in-game tracks. We all know how expensive such content can be.

It's a good thing I have zero desire to play any of those songs.

Putting Holes in Happiness could be pretty entertaining, it has a decent guitar solo in it... although I don't know how this cover version will turn out.

I haven't heard any of the songs but I like the concept of this promotion.
Say you buy a new CD, you get a little extra value for your money.
I just hope they keep the option of being able to get the songs on Marketplace as well if you don't want to buy the whole CD.

Also, I'm not sure what anyone is citing as expensive here... A guess by Xbox360fanboy in case they wanted to charge more for the content? For the soundtrack itself, which has no announced price?

I don't see this as any different than them including a download token for Animatrix in the Matrix HDDVD set.

Locking on-the-disc content unless you shell out extra is bull AND shit. I hope this report is missing some details.
