New Metallica album beams into GH this Friday

via Computer and Video Games


Why buy one version of Metallica's new album when you can buy two? Metallica's (please-don't-suck) new album Death Magnetic will be available in its entirety as downloadable content for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock day alongside the CD release this Friday.

We've heard quite a bit of it from the Mission Metallica website, and yes, before you wonder we ARE going to see them play at the O2 Centre next Monday for £5 each.

"We've been working very closely with Metallica and we're extremely excited to offer Death Magnetic not only in its entirety, but also with the exclusive recordings of Suicide & Redemption as downloadable content to Guitar Hero fans," said Tim Riley, VP of Music Affairs for Activision Blizzard. "We're proud to be setting a new precedent for our two industries, making an entire new album available in two different mediums simultaneously."

Xbox Live users will needs to be loaded up with 1440 Points while it'll cost PSN players $17.99. We reckon about the price of the CD in real money.
