What if. They shut down Guitar Hero and are now rebooting it to force people who bought DLC songs for the old games to rebuild their song collection from scratch. Or because they're going to go the Rock Band path of using the guitar/drums/piano trainer thing (I haven't played it yet, but I know it's supposed to be more like actually playing the instrument) and they want every song to have the option to play at every level, instead of some songs being only available to play in the old hold colored button hit lever method.
That would be not bad... They "killed off" Guitar Hero so the new version could require the new peripherals, requiring us all to repurchase the entire set. In return, we get a one disk game with some of the badass tracks they used up in the first three games all set up for use with the full drums/guitar input method (plus the mic, the previous lack of which meant GH2 never rated me warbling along to Carry on my Wayward Son). They could even include new instruments. Like the harmonica. Or contrabass.
Or, you know. Cash in. What was up with all that positive attitude before?
