#269. On-disc vs. downloadable content

BOBBY KOTICK: All right, now we need to decide which of your songs goon the disc.
KEVIN: OK.

BOBBY KOTICK: And whatever songs aren't on the disc, you can sell later through the Guitar Hero store.

KEVIN: Can we... just include ONE song on the disc and sell the others for $5 a POP?
BOBBY KOTICK: You sure can.
SOUND: Cha-Ching!

KEVIN: Your eyes did the thing again, man.
TONY KING: Yeah, I really... I need to get that checked out....

#270. Pick a plastic guitar

September 9, 2009

BOBBY KOTICK: OK, last thing, we need to ship a custom exclusive plastic guitar as part of Guitar Hero: Jumpstart Malady Edition.

BOBBY KOTICK: So pick any of these to be the "Kevin Edo signature guitar."
KEVIN: Bad news, man... I don't use ANY of these brands.

BOBBY KOTICK: Kevin. Selling the plastic makes us $60 more per sale, translating to about $240,000,000 in your pocket.

KEVIN: I could TOTALLY start playing that Gibson Citation...
BOBBY KOTICK: There we go...
