Import songs in Guitar Hero 5

Unlike previous Guitar Hero games, Guitar Hero 5 will allow you to import songs you have bought from the Xbox Live Marketplace or PlayStation Store for previous games. You will be able to import songs from Guitar Hero: World Tour and Guitar Hero: Smash Hits. Of the 158 songs in World Tour 152 of them currently work.

However, unlike Rock Band if you want to import the songs you will need to pay for the service. There are no specific details on how much you will need to pay or if you will pay once or for one song.

Guitar Hero 5 will be released in North America on September 1st and a few weeks later in Europe and Austrailia for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2 and Wii.
