PlayStation-Karaokespiel SingStar wird kostenfrei, bekommt kostenpflichtige Songdownloads

CMU über die nächste Inkarnation des populären Playstationspiels SingStar:

Rather than charging for the game itself, users will pay to download tracks to sing along with from the SingStore, so that the business model becomes selling songs rather than the game itself. Users won’t even need a special microphone to play the free version of the game, though buying the PlayStation periphery is an option for better gameplay.

Interessantes Geschäftsmodell, das, abhängig von der Preisgestaltung, sehr gut funktionieren kann.
