    Re: Rock Band 2

    Despite recent news that Pink Floyd has filed a lawsuit against its record company EMI over allegedly miscalculating royalty payments, Elio Leoni-Sceti, EMI's chief executive, said the music group is in active discussions with the band about using its catalogue for popular computer games.

    EMI is set to launch the The Beatles: Rock Band video game on September 9. The Dark Side Of The Moon musicians, who signed to the label in 1967, have since enjoyed enormous record sales, which have only been outstripped by The Beatles in the past 25 years. Mr Leoni-Sceti was speaking as the group released unaudited management accounts for the year to the end of March, its first full year under Terra Firma management.

    The accounts do not provide a pre-tax profits figure or take into account EMI's debt pile. EMI, which yesterday said that earnings rose to £163m from £51m in the year to March 31, is likely to have made a pre-tax loss for the year.

    It emerged late last year in an annual report published by EMI's holding company Maltby Capital, that it made a loss of £757m in the year to March 31, 2008, as writedowns and restructuring costs took their toll. The loss was almost triple the £287m from the previous year.

    In early March 2009, it was revealed in Terra Firma accounts that the private equity firm had taken a €1.3bn (£1.15bn) writedown on EMI, amounting to half of what it paid for the music company in 2007.

    However, the latest figures show that Coldplay's Viva La Vida and releases from Katy Perry and Lily Allen helped EMI Music more than treble earnings in the year.

    EMI said it is now on track to deliver the £200m of cost savings identified at the time of its acquisition by the private equity group. EMI also generated operating cash flow of £190m during the year and turnover was up 4pc to £1.07m.

    Mr Leoni-Sceti said he was keen to have a closer connection with the producers of live events – a market which has held up well in the recession. "We cannot afford to be complacent however since there is still a great deal of work to be done to restore EMI to its former greatness," he said.

              So, is any news regarding future downloadable content for Rock Band 2 expected during this week at E3? I realize Harmonix are busy promoting and working on the Beatles game, but I'm personally also interested in what we might see in our current game between now and that game's release.

                Is it just me, or has Sony not put up any DLC for weeks?

                    Okay, I was thinking of looking there but it's just less organized that way (plus I can't preview the songs or sort outside of track name). Thanks, I'll check it out.

                            They named an achivement after BTO,figure they would've been in the game by now.
