[h3]Aerosmith's Song "Dream On" Free for Limited Time[/h3]
Published February 15, 2008
"Dream On" was the first major hit for the rock band Aerosmith, appearing on their debut self-titled album in 1973. And now, avid Guitar Hero[emoji]8482[/emoji] III: Legends of Rock players will be able to try out their chops on the power ballad, by downloading it free of charge from Xbox LIVE[emoji]174[/emoji] Marketplace. The song track will be free for a limited time only: Saturday, February 16, 2 A.M. PT (approximately) to Monday, February 18, 2 A.M. PT (approximately).
Aerosmith always comes ready to rock.
The song is offered free through the weekend in celebration of the upcoming Guitar Hero[emoji]174[/emoji]: Aerosmith[emoji]174[/emoji] game. Guitar Hero: Aerosmith will be the first music-based game to feature a single band, and gamers will be able to experience Aerosmith's GRAMMY[emoji]174[/emoji] winning career, from their first gig to becoming rock royalty.
Aerosmith, consisting of Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton, and Joey Kramer, has sold over 150 million albums and racked up countless awards in a career that has helped to define rock music. Players in Guitar Hero: Aerosmith will step into the shoes of Perry (guitar), Whitford (guitar), and Hamilton (bass), as they rock out alongside frontman Tyler and drummer Kramer.
The inimitable Steven Tyler says it best, "Any band that can go from 'Don't Want to Miss a Thing' to the %%!-kicking 'Sweet Emotion' to the cheekiness of 'Love in an Elevator,' to the classic ballad 'Dream On' shows why Activision chose us to headline this game based on the diversity of the Aerosmith catalog. Not only is songwriting a +%%%@, but then it goes and has puppies."
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith players will be able to rock out to scores of Aerosmith's greatest hits, as well as songs from celebrated artists that the band has either performed with or has been inspired by in some way. Venues from historical moments during the band's illustrious career offer the experience of "sweet emotion" and further capture the essence of the band's rise to fame. Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is slated for release this June.
Until then, strap on the guitar and play "Dream On," one of Rolling Stone Magazine's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Hurry up and download it, because after the weekend, the song goes back into the vault.
[h3]Toshiba to drop HD DVD, sources say
Company says no decision has been made[/h3]By Thomas K. Arnold and Erik Gruenwedel
Feb 15, 2008
The format war has turned into a format death watch.
Toshiba is widely expected to pull the plug on its HD DVD format sometime in the coming weeks, reliable industry sources say, after a rash of retail defections that followed Warner Home Video's announcement in early January that it would support only the rival Blu-ray Disc format after May.
Officially, no decision has been made, insists Jodi Sally, vp of marketing for Toshiba America Consumer Products. "Based on its technological advancements, we continue to believe HD DVD is the best format for consumers, given the value and consistent quality inherent in our player offerings," she said.
But she hinted that something's in the air. "Given the market developments in the past month," she said, "Toshiba will continue to study the market impact and the value proposition for consumers, particularly in light of our recent price reductions on all HD DVD players."
Immediately after the Warner announcement, the HD DVD North American Promotional Group canceled its Consumer Electronics Show presentation. The following week, data collected by the NPD Group revealed Blu-ray took in 93% of all hardware sales for that week.
Toshiba subsequently fired back, drastically cutting its HD DVD player prices by as much as half, effective Jan. 15. But a hoped-for consumer sales surge never materialized; retail point-of-sale data collected by the NPD Group for the week ending Jan. 26 still showed Blu-ray Disc players ahead by a wide margin, 65% to 28%.
Software sales have declined as well. The latest Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales data show the top-selling Blu-ray Disc title for the week, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment's "Across the Universe," sold more than three times as many copies the week ending Feb. 10 as the top HD DVD seller, Universal Studios Home Entertainment's "Elizabeth: The Golden Age." Blu-ray Disc titles also accounted for 81% of all high-def disc sales for the week, with HD DVD at just 19%.
Toshiba had been pitching its discounted HD DVD players toward the standard DVD crowd as well as high-def enthusiasts, noting in its ad message that the new players would make DVDs look a lot better as well. And as a last-ditch effort, the company ran an ad during the Super Bowl -- a 30-second spot that reportedly cost $2.7 million.
But in the end, sources say, the substantial loss Toshiba is incurring with each HD DVD player sold -- a figure sources say could be as high as several hundred dollars -- coupled with a series of high-profile retail defections has driven the company to at last concede defeat.
RIP HD DVD
