Available today for 1440 Microsoft points (or a CD purchase) is new Metallica "Death Magnetic" DLC for Guitar Hero III which we're being told is both "deadly" and "magnetic". Who knew? For your 1440 points you'll get the entire album which is comprised of eleven tracks including two versions of the song"Suicide & Redemption".
Make your way to the Xbox Live Marketplace to grab the musical DLC goods or wait for it to release as Rock Band DLC. Wait a sec ... that probably isn't going to happen. Metallica fans, you'll just have to settle with GHIII.

Firstly, it sucks that it's GH3 and not RB.
Secondly, what I've heard on XM of the new album hasn't impressed me all that much.

the album is better than the stuff they made in the last 10 years... but that isn't saying much.
GH 3 sucks. Why even bother?

I listened to the album with very low expectations and was surprised. I rather enjoy it. Definately better then anything they've done since the Black album.

Anyone preorder the album to get the download codes? The whole offer with Best Buy is worded pretty skeptical. You get a card telling you how to get the tracks on GHIII. Do you actually get a redemption code or is it just a card saying you can spend 1440 MS points to get the tracks on XBL?
$9.99 for the actual CD and GH tracks when you preorder or $18 (1440 MS points) to download the GH tracks from Live. Considering Metallica's past. It doesn't make sense.

"Just Have to settle for gh3"? Hardley.
"GH3 Sucks"?
You mean you suck at it?
Please stop hating on gh3 people it's a good game and to many, the better game slash series.

Oh come on. The only people who are GH obsessed nowadays are 12 year olds. And I'm not exaggerating - go the GH official forums and take a peek.
Seriously, I see kids all of the time try to defend GH by saying Rock Band is too easy, and they just suck at Guitar Hero. I can safely say I'm good at Guitar Hero and also good at Rock Band.
To most, there's no reason why Guitar Hero is better than Rock Band. At least that's how it seems to me =/

Sorry but I see RB as a kids game.
And easly the most simple mucis game out there just a tad harder than umjammer lammy.
You say you are good? Give me yor gamertag and we will play proface off on through the fire and flames and I'll tell you if you deserve to make such a statement. As far as RB goes, a mentally challenged chimpanzee could complete it's songs on the expert level.
There isn't even a comparrasion. One is for the hardcore gamer and the other is for the casual gamer.
I plow through GH3 almost effortlessly on the expert level people that can't play rockband nuff said.

I'm a guitarist, and I find Guitar Hero to be exhilarating. I gave Rock Band a try but wasn't impressed with the guitar track; just not challenging enough.

The guitar hero tracks are only free in the $39.99 exclusive best buy edition of the album, which equals a major rip off.

The Best Buy website still doesn't say which version you need to buy to get this offer. I know quite a few people who will be returning their preorders. This album has been "out" for over a week now.

Are individual tracks for sale or do you have to buy the whole thing?

You can only buy the entire album.
So 18$ or nothing.

Guess I'll be saving $18 then. I would have bought a few songs but not all of them.

One good thing about this DLC is that it's forward compatible with GH: World Tour.

Great Album, IMO. Much better than St. Anger. It's a great deal as well, it's priced about the same as the Rock Band albums, plus you can use it for World Tour and every song is 6+ minutes.. so much music for your money.
