Update: It appears as though Activision itself has answered the question of what songs specifically are importable into Guitar Hero 5 from World Tour (35 songs) as well as Smash Hits (21 songs), via the Activision Customer Support Center.

We can’t lie to you, friends — when Activision claimed songs from last year’s Guitar Hero World Tour would be playable in this year’s Guitar Hero 5, we were skeptical. It seems that skepticism proved right, as USA Today reveals that a hair over one third of GHWT’s tracks can be downloaded into the new game. Specifically, just 35 of World Tour’s 86 tracks are playable in GH5, with an unspecified amount of Guitar Hero Smash Hits tracks available “later this Fall.” The licensing fee for those 35 tracks is 280
/$3.50 for Xbox 360 and PS3, though it remains unclear whether or not that fee would include Smash Hits‘ tracks when those are released.
We’ve asked Activision for clarification of which tracks specifically are available in GH5 and when Smash Hits will be ready for download, but unfortunately were told that we’d get a release tomorrow with “tons of details.” So this is where we crowdsource things — Guitar Hero 5 owners in the Joystiq Biomass[TM], please let us know which 35 of Guitar Hero World Tour’s 86 tracks are playable! Our inbox is always open!
