It's easy to feel the pressure to simply have a premium offering in one's product mix...great reinforcement here on what filling that spot in a meaningful way entails. It's some of the most loyal fans that will be buying - very much worth it to take the time to make sure you don't piss them off. Great thoughts Kyle.

Take a look at Trent Reznor’s numbers for his Ghosts I-IV release in 2008 – in the first week the album made $1.6 million off of 781,917 transactions using a tiered release model. At the high end of his pyramid was the deluxe package which, at $300 for a limited edition of 2500, sold out within a day. Do the math. Deluxe packages make good financial sense (we discussed this before). [...] [...] It’s no surprise that deluxe packages are big business in music.

I have to agree with your assessment that being prolific is better than slim pickins...im a big believer in diversity mainly because there is greater resiliency where there is more...Bollywood has survived and will continue to survive because of the immense diversity it offers the world...its reach is far greater than Hollywood's output, and it will become more evident as the financial and creative epicenter of world cinema shifts towards Asia, towards Mumbai in the coming years. Ayo Twist Karein is one of my favorites too! Hello Kyle, so glad you enjoyed the lecture!

Quantifying grammar in the realm of public consumption might be tough but the esulting 3-D model of the creative process would be far from noise. Give your AS3 skills a workout with Papervision3D or some other basic rendering engine. PV3D has worked well for me in the past.
