CNN: Using controls, the viewer could go behind Spears to watch the audience reaction
Me: really?
CNN: Spears, 19 [ahem], who is currently shooting her first movie [ahem "movie"], said...It's a great new way of watching a concert."
Me: kinda defeats the purpose of having a concert though huh?
CNN: [no response]
Me: i mean. come on who's gonna buy the video of a concert instead of going to the concert?
CNN: "the viewer could go behind Spears to watch..."
Me: Oh.

I wonder how close we're going to be able to get?

And is some twisted disney programmer going to put a few backdoors or hidden something-somethings into this game?

I wish.

Sounds like a (somewhat) cleaned up version of those interactive DVD porn movies. A great gift for the holidays.

i think this is actually kind of neat. i hope they expand this out to other artists and groups. if DD goes on tour again (compleate with andy taylor!), i'd love to be able to get the concert disk for my wife. it'd be neat to sit on an amp and watch the concert.

i wonder if it'll support true dynamic sound sourcing?

Will we get to pick out her outfits? Is this pre or post boob job? Will her annoying voice be digitally remastered to sound halfway listenable?

So many unanswered questions...

is it $50 or less?

Sorry, all you perverts; all it's going to be is several parallel video tracks recorded with separate cameras simultaneously. You'll be able to view the same concert segment umpteen times from umpteen specific prerecorded camera views.

What if Criterion did a dvd for britney instead of the beastie boys? oh the horror!

You'd think the company doing this would pick a singer that actually -sang- during concerts for their first release.
