Record Label Adds PS2 Game To Album

Posted by simoniker on Wednesday October 1, 2003 @11:55PM from the what's-the-amplitude-kenneth? dept.

Thanks to the San Jose Mercury News/AP for their article discussing Atlantic Records' addition of an abridged, playable PlayStation 2 game to a new music album, due out next month. According to the article: "The first 1 million copies of P.O.D.'s fifth record, "Payable on Death," will come with a version of "Amplitude," a game that allows players to remix a collection of pop songs." Interestingly, "The abridged version of the game will only have a P.O.D. song called 'Space'", a track that wasn't available on the original release of the Sony-published music game, and the president of the record company says: "Atlantic Records has an opportunity with this because this technology is not copyable, it's not downloadable, it's not swappable."

A-ha, a-hahaha, ouch, my sides - it hurts! Make it stop, make it stop! Ahaha.....

If it's not copyable, that surely must mean they are making every copy by hand (from scratch?)! Wow, that's some busy backrooms you've got there! These things must cost hundreds of dollars each!
