Hey Guys,

I'm quite new to gaming, well to be honest I had the original XBox but then stopped playing games for a while but you will be glad to know a month ago I bought an XBox 360 and I'm back into gaming again, my favourites being Skate, Pure and Tiger Woods 2009.

Anyway enough about me to my question, has any console or computer inspired you to buy a music track or album from the music playing in the background of the game ?

I have just bought The Funeral by Band of Horses, I had never heard of Band of Horses until I started playing Skate, I think it's a great tune.

iTunes Link : The Funeral - Band of Horses

THPS2 had a fanstastic sound track, RATM :heart:

Good Call!! The THPS2 soundtrack shaped my musical tastes entirely, it was where i first heard RATM - (title song was Guerrilla Radio) and i haven't looked back since. :D (Thinking about it i can only have been 9 at the time XD)

Aside from that some of the tunes in FFVII are still firmly lodged in my head but i wouldn't listen to them if not playing the game.

Video Games reintroduced me to classical and orchestral as a genre, which I've been enjoying ever since. I also listen to a lot of Video Game OSTs (most notably Zelda and Shadow of the Collosus). However, Video Games have never really introduced me to a particular band, with the exception of Tony Hawks Downhill Jam, which introduced me to Damone (which funnily enough, the only song of theirs I like is the song on THDJ :p).

Hi Guys,

It seems a few of you like the music from Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2, I'll have to check out some of the tracks.

I had some of the Tony Hawks Pro Skater games on the original XBox but they will probably not be played again now that Skate has arrived and also Skate 2 arriving early next year, which is looking totally cool !

Large - Keep Smiling ! :)

I really enjoyed the music in the first Flatout game - a bunch of good indie bands - Adrenaline, No Connection, LAB, and others. Other than that, only Driver: Parallel Lines has inspired me to go out and buy music (a few tracks - Blondie's One Way or Another, Kaiser Chief's Oh My God, The Strangler's Peaches, and a couple others) - the 70's era music in that game was just great.

I enjoyed the BF: Vietnam soundtrack, which got me into a phase of listening to rock from that period.

Exact same thing happened to me, I had never really paid any attention to those songs before that game. I also liked the main theme from Morrowind, Halo and some of the Hitman stuff

    • Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.
    • Downloads does not equal actual usage, even less when the app is pre-installed in some Galaxy phones.
    • +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
