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.

Tiptup300 @ Aug 15th 2008 10:58PM
Those chick are hot! WAIT WTF!?
Anon @ Aug 15th 2008 7:06PM
They dropped the exclamation mark from their name.
disclaimer: I don't like them, don't kill me.
Bass Masterson @ Aug 15th 2008 7:07PM
The question is, how can all these emo r-tards slash their wrists while holding the Xbox controller?
Jim Halpert DM @ Aug 15th 2008 7:09PM
Panic...not emo
tmacairjordan87 @ Aug 15th 2008 7:34PM
That picture speaks differently
A person @ Aug 15th 2008 8:03PM
Making fun of emo people is so last year. Now we make fun of the people making fun of emos.
Bass Masterson @ Aug 15th 2008 8:25PM
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.
WPstart @ Aug 15th 2008 9:25PM
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.
TMGE_rock @ Aug 16th 2008 7:04AM
emo means being over-emotional... They dont seem to be sad or having the intention to slitt their wrists any time soon o_O
Mikey @ Aug 15th 2008 7:12PM
woahwoahwoahwoah - woah.
They're CHARGING for music videos?
DangerMouse @ Aug 15th 2008 7:24PM
Microsoft doesn't do anything for free.
Vault @ Aug 15th 2008 8:24PM
Charging for good music videos is OK, however, charging for emo crap is not.
Obie @ Aug 15th 2008 8:30PM
I know, why would you pay $2, what you can watch on youtube for free.
tcc3 @ Aug 15th 2008 9:28PM
Agreed. $2 for a 3.5 minute video is crap. Remember when videos were promo tools? Effectively commercials for the band/album/song?
I blame the same idiots who started paying $3 for a ringtone.
Lhasapso @ Aug 15th 2008 7:15PM
More like formerly emo. Now they're more like neo-pop-punk-Beatles, if that makes any sense.
Leobebes (BDF: Braid Defence Force) @ Aug 15th 2008 7:17PM
Please don't use this shit band and the Beatles in the same sentence.
signed culture
Sora @ Aug 15th 2008 7:21PM
So we can't say that the Beatles are better than Panic At The Disco?
Leobebes (BDF: Braid Defence Force) @ Aug 15th 2008 8:13PM
No it should be a given. It would be like comparing living to death in a sentence. You just can't.
CubeGuy @ Aug 16th 2008 11:06AM
I'm just gonna throw "I don't like the Beatles" out there.
Also, I listen to Panic, and their new stuff is fantastic.
Take that as you will.
CubeGuy @ Aug 16th 2008 12:47PM
I actually got voted up for speaking honestly? My views of the internet have been shaken. =U
CB @ Aug 15th 2008 7:25PM
I saw this on XBLM last night (found RHCP!) but it's ridiculous that they're charging for music videos that you can just find browsing youtube.
j.howlett @ Aug 15th 2008 7:46PM
thats how i watch videos on my ps3
CB @ Aug 15th 2008 7:54PM
+1 PS3
juju187 @ Aug 15th 2008 7:30PM
like the pirate shirt >.>
Superstar90 @ Aug 15th 2008 7:41PM
He got it from a low-talker.
TeJay @ Aug 15th 2008 7:44PM
Did she have man hands?
Deadpool @ Aug 15th 2008 7:59PM
NO SOUP FOR YOU!
Mr.ESC @ Aug 15th 2008 10:24PM
50 years ago will have you upside down with a fork up your ass.
What? What are you staring at? OH It had to be a Seinfeld reference…right Oh shi-
Um these pretzels are making me thirsty.
Eh @ Aug 16th 2008 3:21AM
Should have gone with the technicolor dreamcoat
deaftly @ Aug 17th 2008 4:58PM
ITS GORTEX!
thompson @ Sep 5th 2008 8:55AM
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
tmacairjordan87 @ Aug 15th 2008 7:35PM
It's a double insult. Not only are they charging for music videos, but they're charging for garbage music.
#28 @ Aug 16th 2008 3:20AM
Yeah, but Death Cab for Cutie are seriously good and should be in with the rest of these emos.
mcatrage @ Aug 15th 2008 7:47PM
Who?
Staggs @ Aug 15th 2008 7:49PM
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.
...Jan... @ Aug 15th 2008 7:51PM
And here I thought excitedly that you were about to announce them for Rock Band...not that I would have downloaded it.
emotaku @ Aug 15th 2008 7:58PM
oh yes, me either.
me either.
seanemac007 @ Aug 15th 2008 7:53PM
"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.'"
j.howlett @ Aug 15th 2008 7:57PM
as bad as it sounds some will buy these
ryan @ Aug 15th 2008 8:07PM
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.
Henry @ Aug 15th 2008 8:25PM
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.
Monkeydog @ Aug 15th 2008 8:10PM
Death Cab does not deserve to be associated with all the other crud.
At least they're decent.
Vault @ Aug 15th 2008 8:25PM
Since when?
Waqman @ Aug 15th 2008 8:42PM
lmao, Death Cab. All the grade 7 hipsters listen to that.
Monkeydog @ Aug 15th 2008 8:43PM
Since Chris Walla started to become one hell of a producer.
Mitch @ Aug 15th 2008 8:12PM
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.
tmacairjordan87 @ Aug 15th 2008 8:20PM
Emo music is almost universally hated by everyone except the MTV crowd, which isn't here so that's why it's ok.
Robot Kitten Face @ Aug 15th 2008 8:12PM
Is that Alison Moyet on the second from the left? (Extra points to anyone who actually knows who she is).
And the one on the right looks like a mean lesbian.
mirage @ Aug 15th 2008 8:12PM
Since when was a 2-3 minute music video the same value as a 20-30 minute tv show? Somehow they charge the same thing for them on XBL. Ridiculous. Anybody who pays 2 bucks to download a single video is a complete idiot!
