Yes or No in review.
There is going to be a lot of songs and DLC so fake money made in playing songs and careers would be awesome (I think)
What about what songs would cost. (In terms of real dollars)

Don't they already have that money system in place for buying clothes, guitars, and what not?
They definitely, wont let you use that money to purchase more songs... how would they make a profit?

I think by playing through songs and earning very small amounts of real money would be nice, especially since I'm going to probably buy all the songs that appear as DLC. Like said above though, it doesn't make too much sense, because they could lose a lot of money.

Although another good idea would be for there to be tournaments, and if you win that you win money towards DLC which would be awesome!

If ANYTHING... what they could do would be to let you get ONE free downloadable song of your choice for beating the game. Doesnt matter what difficulty but you only get to download one song for free initially. Because that will also entice people to go on the market place and say to themselves
"Hey this song is great I'll use my one free download for this one. But wait look at all these other great songs. They are only ($) a peice and I should get some more."

But you can't expect the kids of harmonix staff to eat mites for dinner and not make any profit from dlc.

In the words of Lewis Black -That's like the government giving their $400 per child tax cut. That amount of money doesnt save you crap. When what they should've just done was rang your doorbell and your local congressman just punches you in the face, and says, "there you go."

It is a good idea. They really wouldn't lose money because the game with the controllers would cost more than a regular game anyway. They'd be making loads of money, i hate it when companies try to sponge as much money as possible out of its loyal customers.

That the game will cost more to buy does not ipso facto mean we are making more money on it. Hardware is expensive to manufacture after all. It isn't like we are hiding out in our secret cavern on a pile of gold chuckling and rubbing our palms together.

Nothing you ever do in any game (besides tournaments) on the xbox 360 will contribute towards getting Live Points or "money to spend on dlc." Don't ever expect it to.
