Yes, Elvis songs are that expensive to use. Lots of people are still getting paid off of his music. The cost is one of the main reasons you don't see too many people doing covers of any Elvis songs.

Sorry guys, no Elvis in FNV.

We felt we were better off getting a wide variety of music than getting a single Elvis song.


That's kinda surprising....
Although I can't say I'm disappointed... Never really saw the appeal of Elvis... More of a Beatles man, myself.

While I enjoy Elvis songs (especially his early stuff), I understand the absence from New Vegas (based on the cost of using any of his songs). It's going to be a long time before Elvis songs are in the public domain. Take a look at the Wikipedia article on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_copyright_law. It isn't 20 years:

Before 1972, sound recordings were not subject to federal copyright, but copying was nonetheless regulated under various state torts and statutes, some of which had no duration limit. The Sound Recording Amendment of 1971 extended federal copyright to recordings fixed on or after February 15, 1972 (the effective date of the act), and declared that recordings fixed before that date would remain subject to state or common law copyright. The Copyright Act of 1976 maintained this until February 15, 2047, which was subsequently extended by the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act to the same date in 2067.[29] As a result, no sound recording can reliably be considered in the public domain in the United States before that date, even if the recording was in existence before 1923 and even if it originated in another country where it has entered the public domain.[30]


So unfortunately for Elvis fans, his recordings won't enter public domain for a good while. Maybe by the time Fallout 50 releases.....10 years before the War ;)

As much as I love Elvis I have to say that I'd prefer more country music. *dodges the flying beer bottles* Sometimes the music sets the tone.

As long as you mean real country music, and not this newer stuff that bears little resemblance to the great country and western music of the 20's-80's (and even that last decade is pushing it). I hate this newer stuff that sounds more like pop and whiny rock music. And if you really want to make a proper distinction, I think what we really need is Western music (North American) such as cowboy songs, frontier music, and western swing.

Elvis is great but I don't think his music would really fit into fallout but thats just my opinion.

A-[censored]-men! Today's "country music" is pretty much forgettable. In 2077 there were probably still stations playing Johnny Cash, Hank Sr or Loretta Lynn on occasion while the Ditzy Chicks and other acts from our era were totally forgotten.

To be honest, I'm not surprised. I live outside Memphis, so I go to Graceland a few times a year, and in the past 10 or so years, pretty much anything Elvis, they've jacked up in price, and the fees of his songs I'd imagine they'd force you to pay out the ass.

I'm sure someone will parody a song (VIVA NEW VEGAS) and insert it as a mod.

Some of the songs Elvis did, like "Hound Dog" were actually covers and/or remixes of earlier works by lesser known artists...... just saying that you could get the song, but maybe sung by someone who sounds like Elvis. :P

Viva Las Vegas was made in 1963, so that wouldnt make sense anyway. But beyond that, as Jason Bergman said, then there would be like, one other song on the game. EP Enterprises isn't very altruistic about their licensing fees.

I was referring to the fact elvis rise to fame was in the fifties. Though i didn.t know that Viva Las Vegas was made in 1963, so i stand corrected on that.
