Guitar Hero 5 Gets Avatar Store, Still Overpriced [Updated]

By | August 20, 2009 | Avatars, Xbox 360 |

Update 1:  The guitar price was apparently INCREASED since I wrote the post. New price reflected below. I don’t think it can be placed in the category it’s in anymore either.

As of earlier this morning, Guitar Hero 5 joined the ranks of games like Halo 3, Halo 3 ODST, Monkey Island, and Fable II in that it finally has a section for itself in the Avatar Marketplace.  But, as with the items released beforehand, most things that are available are overpriced. Microsoft seems to have missed the idea of “microtransactions.”  While everything is overpriced, some of the items, compared to other items in the same category, are significantly cheaper. Here’s a small look at some items in both categories.

Significantly Overpriced

Comparably Better Priced

  • Neversoft Scepter – 160MSP – $2 USD
  • Guitar160 MSP – $2 USD 240 MSP – $3 USD – No longer belongs in this category

Either way, if you’re interested the Guitar Hero 5 Avatar store is open for business. Now go rock out!

    I would buy the guitar controller if the avatar held onto it longer than 2 seconds.

    The guitar is actually 240 msp. I looked at it last night and was mad until I saw the price. The avatar does do some cooler poses with this guitar, tho.

      LOL, I wrote the post in the morning, apparently when the guitar was 160 MSP. Couldn't post it till later.
