The Guitar Hero III Companion Piece is a combination of two different products - a traditional soundtrack of music from the Guitar Hero III game and an expansion pack of songs for the game. We call this a "companion piece" since it is a compliment to the newest version of Guitar Hero III. This piece provides fans many of the key songs from the game as well as new songs/levels for them to play.
The music portion of the companion piece will feature songs from the Guitar Hero such as AFI "Miss Murder", Sonic Youth "Kool Thing", Queens of the Stone Age "3's and 7's", and many more.
The expansion portion for the game will literally be new levels for the game - new songs to be played in the Guitar Hero III game. These bonus songs will be delivered via a CODE on an insert in the CD package. This code is unique for Xbox Live, where the user can type in the code and download 3 exclusive tracks in guitar hero format directly into the Xbox game. These three "expansion songs" are unreleased material from 3 of the biggest rock acts in the world: * "Carcinogen Crush" from AFI (from a forthcoming EP of new material due in December) * "Tina" from Flyleaf * A remix of Marilyn Manson's "Putting Holes in Happiness" by Nick Zinner from Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Customer Review: Worth the buy
This album is mostly intended for those with the xBox 360 version of the game because you can use it to download 3 songs and play them in game. But other than that, it's a decent album (though it could use more tracks).
Guitar Hero 3 Intro- Pretty cool little intro. After all, Slash is an amazing guitarist. Yet there isn't anything special about this song. 8/10
Cherub Rock- I already had this song when I got the album, but I'm not saying it's a bad song. Smashing Pumpkins is a great band and this song is one of there best. 9/10
3's & 7's- I already had this song when I got this album, but again; not saying it's a bad song. In fact it might be one of the best! Queens of the Stone Age did an awesome job composing this. 9/10
Miss Murder- Didn't have this song when I got the album. I never really liked it enough to get it off iTunes. But now that I have this album, it's pretty good. 8/10
Slither- Slash's current band. not much of a fan of Velvet Revolver, but yet still a good song. 8/10
Kool Thing- This song is diffrent from the rest. Sonic Youth is a diffrent band. But it's still okay. 7/10
Cult of Personality (Guitar Hero Version)- Probably the main reason I got this. Living Colour re-recorded it with a solo that was 10 times harder than the orginal. probably my second favorite on the CD. 10/10
Putting Holes In Happiness (Nick Zinner Remix)- This is my favorite song on the CD. I had no idea what this song sounded like until I bought the CD. Nick Zinner remixs the song with a faster beat and awesome guitars. Kinda sounds like something by Nine Inch Nails. 10/10
Tina- Good song by Flyleaf. Though there's nothing much to say about it. Just your average hard rock song. 7/10
Prayer Of The Refugee- Not a fan of Rise Against, but still this is a good song. Goes back and forth from soft to hard rock. 8/10
Devil Went Down to Georgia (Guitar Hero Original)- Everyone has probably heard the classic country version of this song. Well Steve Ouimette preformed a heavy metal version with crazy dual guitar solos. I like this song, but the original is far more better! 9/10
So overall, this is a good album. They could have made it better by putting these songs on:
-Tom Morello Guitar Battle
-Slash Guitar Battle
-Anarchy in the U.K.(Re-recording)
-Number of the Beast
-Through The Fire and Flames
If you already have most of these songs, I wouldn't recomend getting it. But if have a 360 and a copy of the game. Get it for the 3 downloadable songs.
Customer Review: A genuine piece of trash
This product is a liar. They say you can download the companion pack, but everytime i go to the site, there is no place to type the code that I have. It is a real shame to fake the customers like this. I want a refund!!! This piece of garbage doesn't tell you at least that there is no way to obtain the code. Please buyers, don't buy it!!! Interscope Records really sucks!!!! at all.

Our precision-fit Xbox 360 faceplate skins cover any OEM (or equivalent) faceplate with the high-resolution and full-color design. Skins are paper-thin so they do not add any bulk. Skins are easy to apply (no bubbles), durable and easily removable without any residue.
Customer Review: Toxic 360 faceplate skin
The skin was easily applied with no air-bubbles or errors and the tips online were very useful. It lined up perfectly and the material allows for reapplication if you need to peel it up and retry. I would of liked to purchase a skin to match the rest of the Xbox, but the faceplate looks good by itself.
Customer Review: XBOX 360 Toxic Faceplate Skin
The skin itself looks great. It goes and comes off very easily. It just takes some time to get the skin on perfect, but don't worry if you mess up you can just take it off and re-adjust it. I also recommend getting the whole set for the whole 360 because it looks kind of awkward with just the white plastic on the sides. Also see my Customer Pictures®.

Dual color charge status indicators Plugs directly to home power socket - no USB port or long wires required Black color matches the Xbox 360 Elite
Customer Review: Great value!
This is a great product. I have been using these batteries for about two months and they work well. They hold a good charge and I love the convenience of always having a backup battery ready to go.
Battery life of course depends on the game you're playing. But even on rumble intensive games, these batteries hold their own.
Only bad thing I could think of is that the batteries are slightly larger than the slot they go into, in the controller. They still fit, but just barely. Sometimes I've had to struggle to get the battery in.
But you can't beat this thing for the price. I highly recommend it.

Customer Review: So far, so Good...
I read reviews on the white version of this product for the standard Xbox 360, and most of them were quite bad.
I will say I just received this product, so this review is not made after long-term testing. HOWEVER, the issues made with the other version of this product were generally "out of the box" issues with LED's not lighting, the charger not properly charging batteries, and the batteries not working in the controllers.
I had none of these problems when I opened this package and set everything. The charger has multi-led's which show red when charging, green when "almost charged," and they go out when the batteries are ready. I put both batteries in right away and plugged the unit it. Both lights blinked through the settings, then went red. After about 3 hours, both lights were out. I snapped a battery into the controller and proceeded to game throughout the day without any issues. I'm anxious to see how long they'll hold a charge.
I was a little concerned with fit and finish - they seemed a smidge tight to snap into the controller, but not enough to worry me. Hopefully these will work out just fine.
If I can edit or add a review after further testing, I'll be sure to do so.

Customer Review: Works well with Xbox 360 RockBand
I bought this because I did not need the complete instrument set for RockBand. I was worried if the game would recognize the microphone or not. The microphone worked very well and would recommend it to anyone looking for one to purchase to use on RockBand.
Customer Review: Kids love it
I have the American Idol Karaoke game, and my kids were always fighting over the microphone to sing it since it came with only one. Finally I decided to purchase another mic so they can sing together. I chose this one, and it has impressed me so far. It works really well, no problems at all...except reminding them that it is hooked to the xbox360, so they can't run through the house singing with it. :)
