    It's launch week. STILL no TV commercial for this. Man, Activision just isn't trying anymore.

    Why advertise a game that everybody is going to buy anyway?

    I dunno, GH5 didn't sell as well as Beatles Rock Band, even when they loudly said they were giving away Wolfgang's iPod for free. I'd say they need the ads.

    Judging by Facebook comments whenever new Rock Band songs are announced, everyone is "sick of Rock Band" and this week's selection has "ruined the entire game" and they're all "converting to Guitar Hero."

    I project first-week sales of 2.4 million

    Her human form is actually vastly improved in this one, so of course they gave her an insanely ugly alt-form to compensate.

    I work at a TV station and this morning our daily technology package was a review of this game. I was kind of excited to see what random ABC tech guy was going to say.

    Then, I swear to god, as the director of the newscast, when we started rolling the story I looked up something about Alan Wake real quick, got distracted, and missed the entire thing.

    Even I am shocked about how little I care about this.

    I am going to buy this game for one thing, and one thing only - 2112. I hate that they had to ruin this song's legacy by including it in Warriors of Rock, but it's fucking 2112. The song I've been dreaming of playing in GH since GH1. There's NO WAY I'm not going to buy it. But not until it's way cheaper. Possibly used.

    You've gotta understand, 2112 is like, the holy grail of GH songs to me - something I've always dreamed about but never thought would actually happen.

    edit: I also own GH5 just for Spirit of Radio.

    I wouldn't normally buy a game just for one song, anyway. Like if Paradise City was in RB or GH, I wouldn't buy the game just for that song, and it's one of my favorite songs. 2112 is kind of a special case.

    if you wait long enough it'll surely end up deep enough in the bargain bin to make 2112 alone worth it from a pure value perspective.

    i predict 8 months before people find copies of it for the less than $14 to put 2112 into the "less than $2 per 'song'" bin

    Up to 14 months for it to be a sure thing, but I bet if you keep an eye out you could get it much earlier in that price range. I'm not talking about strictly new purchases -- services that sell the game in a used, but practically pristine state (like Gamefly) are on the radar for me. I could see it going in an Amazon lightning deal or something, too.

    That's the story. However, Atari more than likely just recycled the carts for other games rather than just dumping them.

    Nope. The games are there... just destroyed and inaccessible.

    http://www.snopes.com/business/market/atari.asp

    Aw crap, can't copy and paste. At any rate, Atari dumped 14 truckloads of ET and other games in the landfill. To prevent looting, steamrollers crushed the games and a concrete slab was poured over the remains.

    The article's pretty fascinating and is a good look at why Atari died (the first time).
