Successful completion of a song on Medium or higher difficulty during Career mode will earn the player in-game cash. Higher difficulty levels and better scoring performances are rewarded with more cash. In-game money can be used at "The Store" to buy various items. Some items are available only after completing all songs at higher difficulty levels or 5-star performances. Within "The Store", the player can purchase new Gibson guitars, guitar finishes, three additional characters, alternate outfits for the eight characters available from the start, bonus songs, and videos. For unknown reasons, the bonus videos are absent from the PAL version of the game. Within the Xbox 360 version, there is also an option to access the "Guitar Hero II" content on the Xbox Live Marketplace.
