Were the copyright issues THAT bad? You got to put in the kings anyway!

Yes. The rights to use an Elvis song for any commercial purpose carry a very steep price. I believe that one dev said something to the effect that "if we would have put an Elvis song in, it would have been the only song in New Vegas".

Plus Elvis is good, but honestly, I prefer Sinatra any day. :D

Sinatra is a good enough replacement. Elvis is dead, stop trying to mooch off his success you lazy copyright bums!

Its been said, Elvis music would cost way to much money to put in the game. Just saying his name would have cost a pretty penny. The Devs could have gone with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVDB6Ils714 lol

Where would I be without mods? :)
I currently have Return to Sender, Nothin but a Hound Dog and I Forgot to Remember to Forget (and yes, the mod I have only puts songs in the game that are referenced by quests somehow) , although only the latter is actually sung by the King.

Could have taken the Fallout 3 'Crosby' route. Can't afford Bing? Settle for Bob.
