Dave Mustaine, the leader and vocalist of Megadeth, said that “This record is one of my favorites from my catalogue, and you will see the twists and turns that make Rust In Peace the quintessential Thrashterpiece that it is!”
On the Xbox 360, the full album is being priced at 1,200 Microsoft Points, while songs themselves will be priced at 160 MP, while on the Wii, each track will set the player back 200 Wii Points. Equivalent prices will be asked on the PlayStation 3.
