I guess they're going to try to sell songs for your games with the PS3 or something. That new CEO was some kind of content-guy, right?

Is there a link to the survey. It's interesting. Smacks of Kutaragi-san's recent complaints about various Sony arms not working together properly...

He did say that they're changing on that subject.

It's a group that you get "invited" to be a part of via having your Playstation Underground info filled in.

It's been discussed for quite some time, they're trying to figure out if people are open to on-demand music. I'm more interested in purchasing game soundtracks for my own use online rather than dropping $30 for an import CD soundtrack. What will suck is games coming with 4 songs and making 30 avaiable for purchase and use...

4's a yes for me. Picked up the Ozomatli album last year after hearing Saturday Night over and over in Madden and what a treat it turned out to be. Fantastic album.

To me, as long as the game comes with a decent default soundtrack, i'm game.
Some games such as World or Warcraft, Everquest 2, or some longer games, i'd love to purchase additional themed music.
