"Panic! At the Disco" would actually make a neat title for an indie developed XBLA game, but, as our lengthy research has concluded, is already taken by a popular musical act. The band and several more will see their music videos on the Xbox Live Marketplace thanks to a newly announced deal between Microsoft and the Warner Music Group.
Videos from Death Cab for Cutie, Cute is What We Aim For, Flo Rida, Matchbox Twenty, Panic! At the Disco, T.I., and other WMG-signed artists will begin appearing on the XBLM Video Store starting Monday. MS and WMG promise that this is just the beginning of a long assault on our eyes, ears, and wallets to come.

They dropped the exclamation mark from their name.

The question is, how can all these emo r-tards slash their wrists while holding the Xbox controller?

Dude, look at that picture and tell me with a straight face they're not emo. The feminine, weepy look; the eyeshadow; the carefully-styled messy hair. Everything that's wrong with society today, summed up in one photograph.

The above picture is from their first album where they were a bit emo. But if you actually listen to their new stuff, watch their new videos etc, you will see that there isn't a drop of emo blood left in them.
I'm a fan and think they're awesome. PATD = not emo anymore. They're much better than most of the mainstream crap available nowadays.

emo means being over-emotional... They dont seem to be sad or having the intention to slitt their wrists any time soon o_O

Charging for good music videos is OK, however, charging for emo crap is not.

More like formerly emo. Now they're more like neo-pop-punk-Beatles, if that makes any sense.

It's a double insult. Not only are they charging for music videos, but they're charging for garbage music.

Yeah, but Death Cab for Cutie are seriously good and should be in with the rest of these emos.

The fact that these talentless emo wannabes are being picked up for XBLM is proof that our culture has passed the point of no return.

"XBLM is breaking records once again. For the first time in the history of console-based retailing, a direct-to-consumer offering has sold a whopping zero point zero units after its first 12 months on the market. Said one non-buyer, 'Question: How many think-tanks does it take to come up with the idea of asking for money for something you get for free? Answer: At least one, but it has a huge set of balls.'"

I like Panic at the Disco but I would never consider buying music videos off XBL when they're all only a youtube search away.
Commence the hate, for being what appears to be the only PatD fan on joystiq. and no I'm not emo.

Im with you on that one. Im a bit of a fan too. (again not emo)
Used to like them more before their new record tho. They are trying too hard to be something they are not. They should stick to the techno/emo/caberet vibe they had in the beginning.

So we can bash music genres we don't like, but when it comes to consoles, if one were to bash a console he or she doesn't like, they'd be labled a fanboy.
Pick a side, Joystiq.

Emo music is almost universally hated by everyone except the MTV crowd, which isn't here so that's why it's ok.
