Entire upcoming Metallica album planned for Guitar Hero 3

The new Metallica album, Death Magnetic, which is due in September, will be simultaneously available for download on Guitar Hero 3 according to this post from Metallica's Web site:

"It's a first in both music and gaming� The same day that 'Death Magnetic' hits the streets, you'll be able to download every song from the album for Guitar Hero III! We are so psyched that we'll be the first out of the gate with this simultaneous release� Who knows?! Maybe a few years from now this will be the norm when your favorite band's new record comes out.

"And for those of you who are anxiously awaiting the next Guitar Hero 'World Tour,' we're ready for that too� You will be able to experience 'Death Magnetic' for drums, vocals, and guitar when that game emerges this fall."

Best idea ever?
