The Go just reviewed on This Morning. Phillip Schofield seemed to love it RBBe, so maybe you should tell him not to get too excited and tell him why it's rubbish.

They specifically mentioned you don't just play games on it, you can watch concerts. If for instance Beyonce is playing a gig, you can watch it through that etc. Didn't specifically mention Melody.

Thinly disguised I'm at home watching daytime drivel post. PS it was the mrs and she called me over!!

Yes the Post Malone clip had been up awhile. Verizon Up has 3 music video's currently up on YouTube VR with a total of 21million views that have been up for similar time frames.

Verizon partnered with Apple Music and Amazon as part of their rewards program. Wonder if Melody VR will be their next partner.

This will be good! Used to regularly trip out to his music half baked. Youth of today won’t need to use their imagination (or drugs!) VR will put them inside the type of trip I was having 20 years ago! Brilliant

Decent enough artlcle but I disagree with much of it. VR industry is in it's infancy. Wanting everything from day dot is not how it works,things need time to develop. I think if she revisits everything she has discussed in 1 year, she would have a different view. Elon Musk said it best when he said one thing for certain we know about predicting the future is that we'll get it wrong.

Her main argument seems to be that companies are simply filming the standard experience of a music gig but in VR. AM has stated that a large % of what they are now working on is creative, unique and very different to simply filming gigs in VR, which is what she alludes to as being negative in her article.

'While applications like MelodyVR and Oculus Venues are critical early steps in setting the tone for future VR music experiences, they arguably fall short by cloning incumbent business and design practices from the "real-world" entertainment industry into a medium that has far more technological potential.'

As you say Robi, I don't think the author has seen the Pixie Lott piece.

In terms of consumer appetite for 'live', she needs to look at revenues generated to know it's a market space that will pay to replicate, original experience or not.

thechancers I think you are trolling, nobody can be that dim. Alas I will bite anyway...

Facebook $100m ad campaign for the Go and Melody App is the first app that appears on the advert, being used by a celeb/music star who has 40m direct fans / followers. Are you suggesting that the $100m advertising costs would be better coming from our (EVRH shareholders) pockets than Facebook's?

Themis why would EVRH spend loads on advertising when somebody else is already doing it on 10x the scale we could even dream of affording ourselves at this point in the Business. What exactly would you want them to do in terms of marketing? We are in the best possible position, MVR app front and center of a $100m ad campaign by giant company throwing bottomless pit of money at Marketing, what more can you ask for in terms of brand exposure!?

Whoever wrote that article on behalf of Motley does not follow VR very closely at all. I was sorry I spent 5 minutes reading it yesterday.

What promises have they not fulfilled? And what are the other fiascos that you’re alluding to? I haven’t been in this share this day dot so I bow to you’re greater tenure/greatness, if you’d be so kind to answer the above.

Yes indeed BA, looking forward to watching it all progress exponentially over the next few years.

I see what you’re saying but as SH put it
1. They couldn’t do any of this without the labels (his quote)
2. They are all music people and not interested in other VR mediums (for now)
It’s true what you say about creative types, but this is just getting started. So many unique ways they can collaborate with artists to create original material. That will quench the thirst I’m sure, with them all being music industry folk.

Would the labels want a Google or Apple to buy this out and have control? I’m not sure they would.

True BA but they are generating revenue now. Another 18 months plus of cash burn, and 18 months of generating revenue, VR market next year will be much bigger than this year. I hope I’m right in this, but I think they have all they need to grow organically now, no need for any raises + dilution. I hope!

I don’t think the 3 labels + Oppenheimer are with Melody for 10 or 20 bags and a sell up. They want control of VR music and this current shareholding setup they will be happy to run with I think.

Just my opinion but why would you sell at this point? They’ve done the hardest part, getting to this point. They have the market cornered on VR music. I don’t think they’ll sell, and hope they won’t. I think they’ll follow the journey of Spotify. All the right building blocks have been put in place, 2019 the year of VR time for EVRH lth’s to board the cash train. The only reason to sell would be a totally ridiculous offer. £5b

I think somebody already commented on the YouTube addition from Melody but Post Malone Video is up to 500k views with some great comments on the 360 views.

Was it confirmed that the VerizonUp video was filmed by Melody? 4.5m views and counting for that one.

I contacted Action Fraud over a month ago to investigate and have heard zero back from them. Shaun I am flabbergasted that in your tone you are defending FB and slating Penny. Wake up and smell the coffee, look at all the info. Have you not read the comments on - https://www.peakdemand.co.uk/blog/the-curious-case-of-fastbase/

I had to google them Gaz, and all I can say is...I'm in!

Sex sells so they’re saving their trump cards. Pussy Cat Dolls first live ‘performance’.

Yes I guessed that. Have they started though and to what extent.

Yes agreed horse, JL really good advert I thought. I guess I was using it as a reference as to how quickly views can accumulate for a popular advert, but no definitely not in the same league.

I would have expected more views from the advert if I'm honest, considering reported $100m budget. Some comments from folk saying they have seen it whilst at the cinema, maybe the campaign hasn't started properly yet on terrestrial TV.

Come on Oculus, take one for the team and knock 50% off the Go for Black Friday.

Is 15k good or alittle underwhelming do people think? Triple the amount of views via the sharing from the 2 celebs demonstrates again the best (and cheapest) way to market the Melody app, via social media direct from artists to their followers.

I know you can’t compare directly but John Lewis Xmas ad has 9m views already after 4 days. No idea when or where this Oculus ad has been broadcast to.

Last figures I saw were 3 million global sales for PSVR. I don't know the geographical breakdown of these sales but you would guess a big chunk of this might be Asia. Maybe they will tie in Asia and PSVR launch together.

I have heard AM say they are HMD agnostic, so I would be surprised if they are not in control of their own destiny. I would guess they are dancing to the tune of the big music labels if any. We have the content Oculus are desperate for, so there would be no need to handcuff themselves. EVRH seem great at doing deals, I'm sure they are fine.
