Not sure if I ever mentioned this before! However for the sake of an on-line reference for anybody that has further information here goes!
The one thing I always hoped to find one day would be the interactive title proposed by Nine Inch Nails based on the EP Broken. The CD-i title itself was supposed to be some sort of compilation of the music, videos and I assume general information the fans would dig. The real kicker was that this software would come to you broken! I'm serious! It would have crashed, rebooted your system (I'm thinking blue screen here) and been a pain in the rear to get working. Of course I think the problem was the intention to release inferior bugged software but then that was the whole point!
Did it ever make it in to prototype form, please Philips Media people let us know!

Re: Nine Inch Nails - Broken
In my time at Philips, I never heard of this title being proposed, although it could have been just an early pitch. Philips would never have released purposely broken software (they had a hard enough time not releasing accidentally broken software.)Devin wrote:Not sure if I ever mentioned this before!

BTW, I did eventually work with NIN; I was the production supervisor on their Blu-ray and DVD Beside You In Time release.
