Is the CD bundled only certain bundles such as Guitar, Full Band, Game Only, a special Soundgarden bundle?
Because I preordered the Guitar Bundle and I hope the Guitar Bundle counts towards that 1 Million units (: |

I imagine so, but I don't know for sure - might be worth asking the folks over at guitarhero.com. I don't have any info about this other than the press release I just posted.

90+ "SONG" set list. So we do count as 2112 as one song or what? _________________

In fact, not only did we boost the volume of that vocal phrase, but we replaced the vocals of every song in the game with the phrase "FIST FUCK" repeating over and over. | You can still...

2 questions :
- Is the game also bundled with the CD in Europe ?
- Does this means that if we buy one of this million copies, we get the album as free DLC, or will we have to pay it ? _________________

Annoyed that it specifically says North American copies. Europe gets screwed out of everything >_<
Oh well, I'm glad it's not free, since that means it'll be on the Wii Music Store. Rusty Cage here I come! _________________

Awesome, better than the shitty Oasis album anyway
And Paul, one thing that always gets me, I know you're just doing your job by copy/pasting the press things, but maybe could you kindly please tell whoever writes them to start using paragraphs and sentences? :P
Kinda losing all my HP here getting hit with a wall of text for every announcement
On another note, I hope the "thing" that Disturbed are working on for Guitar Hero is possibly a full album release by them aswell |

Actually that's formatted in the standard format for press releases. Because they go out on a wire (or something) they are set up with a minimum of formatting.
also this joystiq article specifically mentions a voucher to get the album as DLC:
joystiq wrote: | Not only that, copies of the game that include the CD also include vouchers for the whole album as Guitar Hero DLC. |
No idea if they alone have some other source in addition to the presser that everybody has, or if they were merely inventing that detail of the offer out of whole cloth due to poor journalistic standards, but htere is a glimmer of hope of getting this album as free DLC at least until somebody in PR at activision comes in an clears up the issue (note that most pressers announcing DLC usually give prices, and this one doesnt but could be because its wider focus). _________________

Agreed, we got left out of the Van Halen deal, which was pretty shitty, cuz I didn't feel like buying it, and I guess still haven't... _________________
