Call of Duty: Black Ops features Vietnam War era music including "Sympathy For The Devil".

The use of The Rolling Stones' music in the game has seen a significant increase in the band's music sales since launch. "Gimme Shelter" sold 2,000 copies in the week before the launch trailer was revealed, 5,000 the week after, and 11,000 the week after the game's release. "Sympathy for the Devil" experienced a similar boost as gamers discovered the band's music.

MiniDisc was announced by Sony in September 1992 and released late 1992 for sale in Japan, USA and Europe. MiniDiscs were popular in Japan during the 90´s but made a limited impact elsewhere, and this July, Sony announced that it would no longer release MiniDiscs or MiniDiscs Walkman on September 2011.

Since I can´t figure what MiniDiscs were released from the Rolling Stones Records catalogue by Sony/Virgin, there´s some to you here. Let me know about any more releases, I´ll appreciate any scans or info.
