Will Ringles sell?

See that? We broke this exclusive story, and everyone is up in arms about it. To all the record label execs out there checking out Boy Genius Report, you lost before you started. Save the manufacturing costs, get on your knees, and apologize to Mr. Jobs. There, all better now.

    Make us buy junk along with what we want. Good for them but horrible for the consumer.

    Its like when you used to get “singles” in stores and they had 3 or 4 songs and charged you like $5 when all you wanted was one song. -That was pre online music.

    Typical corporate dumbasses. The old geezers in suits will be dead and buried before all of this extra plastic garbage overflows out of waste dumps and buries the rest due to these corporate “leaders” greedy, out-of-touch ways. Jobs and Apple are far greener than the record labels, which, if they’d been in touch back during the launch of the original Napster, could have taken over online long before there was even an iTunes around.

    I’m confused.. are you actually buying the 3 pack of chips and getting tracks with the purchase?

    I think people would buy the chips, but ringtones and music tracks and wall papers along with them. This would be a short term promotional event at best. If it meant paying more for the chips then no way.
