Films and music sales easily overshadowed during a “poor” year.
now 81, 82 and 83 in the years top 20 entertainment sales.
Now that's what I call a travesty
Who buys this stuff? People who like lowest common denominator pop music yet somehow either don't get enough of it being played incessantly on the radio, music TV, adverts, TV shows, bars etc or people who somehow manage to miss it in all those places?Quote:

Gamers will be able to buy aesthetic customisation items such as “personalisation packs”, more slots for customised weapon loadouts
Music is just so crap these days :/
And so it begins ...Quote:
In related news today Wired reports that Activision will add in-game purchases to Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 starting from today. Dan Amrich of Activision said of the micro items “This content contains either personal customizations or nice little luxuries that I’ve seen players request; none of them affect gameplay, but they are small, specific ways to enhance your online experience”.
Although I'm not entirely convinced that "more slots for customised weapon loadouts" won't affect gameplay. How long before those uPay "opportunities" turn into intrusive advertising? Oh, and I thought Black Ops 1 was a better game anyway. :p
And I've come to the conclusion that I'm now officially an "oldie" since I bought none of the music titles named - not even as presents for others. Bah humbug, I'm off to listen to that latest Jimmy Hendrix album...
All very talented musicians. The thing I don't like is boy/girl bands regurgitating the same old rubbish. At least those girls write their own stuff. Probably...Quote:

That's the problem with a lot of modern pop music: it is often simplistic, regurgitated, cliche, unoriginal and in the case of stuff like the Black Eyed Peas, and their ilk, retarded.
Time for a Sigue Sigue Sputnik* revival? ROFLMAOQuote:

Then again, I was laughing off my chair because of that "Bon Jovi is too old to rock at 51" - presumably these "experts" hadn't heard of Rolling Stones, The Who, Status Quo, AC/DC :rockon:. And James Hetfield (Metallica) is only two years younger. Till Linderman is a sprightly 50. I could go on...
(* did it ever get settled whether they were supposed to be a genuine manufactured band or a huge p. take of the then-current pop industry? I vote for #2)
