Microsoft has announced a deal with Epic Records that will bring music and videos from 12 "up-and-coming
Artists of the Month" to Xbox Live. Meanwhile a sweepstakes will offer the chance to "Game With Fame"
versus the sort of famous. Content will be free, but the best part is the voyage of discovery:
"The
fusion of music and video games now plays a significant role in breaking artists and enhancing the video game
experience; the cross- cultivation of the two mediums helps new games and new artists thrive together," said
Charlie Walk, president of Epic Records. "Through this alliance, Epic and Xbox show that we are in one business --
exciting young adults and leading them to the art of discovery."
Hey, as long as I get to play
Rockstar Presents Table Tennis against Judas Priest. So how many gamers will "discover" this feature
to be more than just another marketing tie-in?
