Sony Computer Entertainment should contact Sony Music and put this on PSN as well. Jackson spent a bunch of time with Sony Music in his career.

@excel_excel: And mysteriously for a week or two longer than everybody else. It's almost like Sony(the rights holder of his now valuable music) knew of his impending death and pre-emptively posted up his best of if an attempt to cash in(of sort's, its free so I don't see much cashing in)

I sense a conspiracy.

I can't imagine it's a bandwidth issue since I had no trouble pulling the video up on the marketplace.

This guy's funeral is going to be huge. I'm expecting a small army of celebrities, crowds lining the procession route and probable live broadcast.

No to be insensitive or anything but no one else gets this kind of treatment after their death. Save your points, watch it on youtube and donate money to charity. :)

@ncprime:

Because it means the maps probably should've just been included with the retail game and not held back for paid DLC? Most people don't like paid DLC less than a month after release, it dips into Scamco territory.
