The add-on for Boom Boom Rocket that Flabio mentions above is now up and available - for free.

Apparently the tracks in the 'Rock Pack' as it's named are specifically designed with the guitar and dance mat controllers in mind. I've hooked up my GH2 controller and given it a go - found it much more fun that just using the controller and also found it was easier to bounce around like an idiot and get into the rhythm of the song.

Good fun - can't be bad for free........ Kinda like Guitar Hero but with fireworks.

Ace, I bought guitar hero III at the weekend.

However having played this evening I promptly reverted back to a pad for boom boom rocket. Will be a long time before I'm good enough to play it with a guitar

I hope it works with the Rock Band drums better than the main game does. I've never gotten on with games that require memorization of button positions. I even suck at Parappa.

Not sure if anyone posted this here (did a search and no 360 thread came up in the results recently) but Ghostbusters for 360(and PC and PS3 now) will be out next Autumn now :)

So I guess that Sony got what they wanted and we all get this interesting looking game soon now the blocks are off this project, not soon enough though!

Interesting. From what I've heard this isnt related to the rather spiffy Ghostbusters demo video from about 6 months ago.

It's lopped together with the old 360 vids in Gametrailers so not sure. I hope it is the same game though *meh*

Is the dash update live for anyone yet? I'm keen to hear how it handles a selection of randomly downloaded xvids.

250 points (£2.13) for SD films, and 380 (£3.23) for HD. If those prices are correct that's a fair bit cheaper than I was expecting. Nice! :)

How much space is an HD film going to take up? and do you have to download the whole thing before you can start watching it?
