Regarding QUEEN ROCK MONTREAL...


In terms of different formats for this, we do have Blu-Ray and HD versions, and DVD and CDs, obviously, and the little blue data stick for computers, but apparently there is a PSP version, which we don't have.


The other day I was told of an 8mm proper official Live In Rio format too, from the 80s, which I've never seen, and I saw a Live In Japan VHD cartridge, which we do now have, and these things do make me wonder if there are any other weird obscure formats out there... from the 80s and 90s mostly, I guess... or from recent games (consoles ????) maybe.


I have little knowledge of games. But we do have the Singstar thing covered, and The eYe, and the Interactive Hits CD-ROM, etc. Any others????


We have all obvious formats covered... CDV, CED, DCC, Flexi disc, 8-track, etc, but do you know of any other extremely rare formats that might exist for Queen products????


I think we have 41 formats so far. I'm really only after the MEGA obscurities please. And any photos you can direct me to.


Ta a great deal.

About Rock Montreal: I have never heard of a PSP version, but maybe you mean that the concert, the film that is, was shown during a festival for Xbox360 Live users on May 1st, 2009? More info can be found here: [url=http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-2599-Xtival-2009-This-Weekend.html]http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-2599-Xtival-2009-This-Weekend.html[/url]

Journey had their own video game for the Atari 2600.  I was infuriated (at the time) that Queen did not do this.  They'll sack all that money into The Eye and confuse the hell out of me, but twenty years ago they couldn't have dressed up Pong with a monophonic soundtrack?  Would've been a lot cheaper, less time consuming, and they probably would have sold more!!!

In fact, I bet Journey Escape brings more than The Eye on ebay.

There's also a tape version of Rock Montreal. Tapes still get release in Indonesia and countries like that. Bought Cosmos Rocks on tape for $8 last month :)

Don't forget the MiniDisc releases - Queen released all three Greatest Hits in that obscure, however brilliant, format.

Correct, if I'm not mistaken this also included the Greatest Hits 1 audio cd. Here's a picture:[url=http://userserve-ak.last.fm:80/serve/174s/4062876.jpg] http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/174s/4062876.jpg[/url]

I should be kicking myself... It was going for peanuts in my local computer store in Johannesburg, South Africa. At the time I didn't have a PC and I figured that there would be no point in buying it. Oh, how wrong can you be...
