Get 11 free GHIII Metallica tracks with CD pre-order

Best Buy has a rather enjoyable Guitar Hero III offer where, with a successful pre-order of Metallica's upcoming Death Magnet album, you'll receive eleven GHIII tracks. DLC tracks that we presume come from the album itself. There are three different flavors of the album to pre-order that range from $10 to $30 that'll get you the free songs (while supplies last). Metallica fans, it's time to go shopping.

[Thanks, SidearmS]

Someone named Paul Stanley is criticizing Metallica? lol that is classic. They were amazing at ozzfest this year, as they always are live. So I guess they should go the way of kiss and stop putting out albums? Vote with your pocketbook, don’t buy tickets or albums like you are now. Their sales numbers look pretty good without your allowance little one. And if you really were 17 when the black album came out, stop living in the past and go back and play your ps3.

Metallica isn't metal. It hasn't been for a LONG time.

Free shipping on it, unless you want express.

If you happen to want these free tracks, for whatever reason, make sure you keep tabs on your pre-order and keep a look out for community members to give away the pre-order code. I say this because my last experience with Best Buy and the pre-order bonus, those free Disturbed tracks for Indestructible, was quite poor.

Long story short, I never got my codes, several members of a community I lurk in didn't as well, and if it wasn't for the fact that the download code was universal I would never have gotten my free tracks.

Since I got screwed on the last offer like this from Best Buy I will not be doing this. Also, give us some Ride the Lightning or something.. Your new stuff sucks.

Regardless of whether you like the band or not it seems like a good deal. Free download content for GH3 sounds good to me. Come on are you going to tell me that you like all the songs on the default GH3, of course not. So, a couple of extra songs is nice, plus you can sell the CD afterwards (I'm not even going to open it), I just want the download content.

* I hear what the other posts say with being screwed with the bonus content from Best Buy. I don't have any experience with it so I cant say. But if there are issues, hopefully there will be an update post here.

Wow. FREE?

Im surprised Lars is allowing this. That guy is a god damn nazi.

This is a great deal, even if you don't like Metallica's newer music. Hopefully the Guitar Hero III tracks will be some old Metallica favorites!

Metallica?

They broke up like, 8 years ago or something. I dunno who started playing and recording using their name, but they're gonna be pissed when they find out.

The only lamer CD name I've seen than "Death Magnetic" lately is "Ultra Beatdown"...(seriously, WTF)

Hold on a sec, X3F. I ordered the 9.99 CD from bestbuy.com, and NO DLC card. Calling Best Buy to complain netted me the explanation that I should have KNOWN that you had to buy the $30 special edition from Best Buy to get the DLC. So, now I have a CD I didn't want, and no DLC. That ad is misleading as all get out, but the Best Buy rep I spoke to refused to acknowledge that (if I read your post, you were led to believe you could order the $10 CD and get the DLC, but NOPE). Down with Best Buy, I want my $10 back (or my DLC)

Preordered on 9/1. Shipped on 9/9. FINALLY received the damn CD today. Guess what? No DLC code for the tracks. Why am I not surprised?
