I've got some questions about various stuff with DLC, and I figured I'd just lump them all together into one thread.

1. Could we get a confirmation on the master/cover status of the singles/Bowie pack?

2. QOTSA - The GH3 3s and 7s ends differently than the actual release track of this. Is this because the master is mixed differently than he release, or did they use an alternate mix because it would be harder? Also, Little Sister was recorded live. Did they rerecord it?

3. Covers - are you planning on releasing DLC of covers often? Will cover DLC be priced differently than regular DLC?

So yeah, if someone could answer this, that'd be kickin' rad.

I don't really see why covers would be cheaper. They still have to pay to license the song PLUS they have to pay Wavegroup or whoever does the covers now to record the song.

1. Could we get a confirmation on the master/cover status of the singles/Bowie pack? Well I doubt a forum post is going to get this confirmed or denied. Just hold on.

2. QOTSA - The GH3 3s and 7s ends differently than the actual release track of this. Is this because the master is mixed differently than he release, or did they use an alternate mix because it would be harder? Also, Little Sister was recorded live. Did they rerecord it? Good question. My guess is either it's either a re-record (which I highly doubt) or the masters are from two different periods of production as the songs presence in the game was before the albums release (if I remember correctly)

3. Covers - are you planning on releasing DLC of covers often? Will cover DLC be priced differently than regular DLC? Since the process of hosting and selling DLC is the same either way I doubt covers will be priced differently. The cost is really in the hosting process especially for XBL. It can cost just as much to license and cover a song as it can to license and get the masters. It all depends who you're negotiating with and what the terms are.

So yeah, if someone could answer this, that'd be kickin' rad.

There's my input.
