EA To Sell Game Music on iTunes

Posted by Zonk on from the do-do-do-do-do-dee-do dept.

J. Charles Holt writes "Electronic Arts has announced that they're going to start releasing themes to popular computer games on online sources such as iTunes." From the article: "Those who doubt the hit potential of video game theme songs probably haven't seen Billboard's Hot Ringtones chart lately, where Koji Kondo has sat right near the top for 55 weeks. Who's Koji Kondo? He composed the theme for 'Super Mario Bros.,' which ranks this week right between the Black Eyed Peas and Bow Wow featuring Ciara."

    Isn't the music in EA games usually just random popular songs? Aren't those already on itunes?

      I'm just going to wait for about 10 years and then laugh at all the people who load up their EA games for a trip down nostalgia lane and realize what bad taste they had in music.

    Grammar Lesson: you're is a contraction of "you are"; your means you possess something; yore means days gone by.
