Rockstar and Amazon bring digital music distribution to GTA4

29 March 2008

I think video games are becoming an ever more relevant resource for promoting and selling music, although this system sounds a little clumsy. What we be much more interesting would be if you could buy direct in-game and have the track downloaded to your PC automatically. That would probably be a little tricky with Amazon, but Apple handle a pretty similar thing with the iTunes store on the iPhone…

Also, instead of getting an email with a playlist in it would be much better to have Last.fm scrobbling support in game – that would be a very welcome development.
