Viacom hopes the Beatles: Rock Band game sets stage for rebound
Los Angeles Times
Dollar-conscious consumers who don’t already have instrument controllers will probably be attracted to a $160 “value bundle” that uses ones from the original Rock Band that Viacom has been unable to sell. The marketing material for the Beatles: Rock Band urges consumers to use Guitar Hero controllers enabling Viacom to piggyback on its more successful rival. “ur core competency is media” said Paul DeGooyer senior vice president of electronic games and music for MTV Games. “Let [Activision] take on the burden of getting those super-tight margin instruments out there. ” Bobby Kotick chief executive of Santa Monica-based Activision said his company was more than happy to sell controllers to the Beatles: Rock Band players as it has increased the efficiency of manufacturing them this year and earns a profit on them.

What made you two decide to do an electronic music festival in New York City?Laura de Palma: Because we’re crazy! [laughs] It’s been something that we’ve been working towards for years.

Adam is a sky watcher. Stars and planets fascinate him. He’s an electronic engineer who seems to know everything there is to know about Voyager space probes and telescopes and other things celestial. He lives in a well-ordered universe of his own making. His apartment is spotless the boxes of macaroni and cheese offer up his meal of choice and he is painfully almost weirdly anti-social. In “Adam” this main character has Asperger’s Syndrome which some consider adult autism. Whatever this affliction is it renders Adam unable to act “normally” in social situations.
