I have no idea how they keep making new versions of this game as opposed to just having downloadable songs.

Yo Dante, I wanted you to know that when I said "Freeee" I was thinking about Bedtime Stories too.

Probably because a new game costs $60 and they'd have to sell people 20-30 songs to make the same amount of money.

And a new game probably has more than 20-30 songs on it, plus all the time and expenses put into new packaging. I can't imagine that make many new advances at this point, so why pay for a new disc simply because it has different songs?

iTunes is the number 2 music retailer in America and I'd imagine that most people who own an xbox or playstaion are of the variety who have the disposable income for high speed internet.

Every time I hear Brand New, and even though I love Deja Entendu more than I love life, I can only think of one lyric:

I can't think of a single game genre that got run into the ground as quickly as the guitar hero/rock band thing.

It's like those Tony Hawk skateboarding games. It started off with a fun concept, and one or two iterations later it hit its stride. Instead of taking the time to make significant improvements, the developers rushed as many half-assed titles as possible to the market with the hopes of cashing in on the trend, and everyone gets sick of it.
