Q: Is Direct Song for Guild Wars only, or will other titles have similar ties with Direct Song?
A: Guild Wars has the privilege of being a sort of "pilot program" for Direct Song. We're the first featured title of what will probably be many featured games in the future, including several games that were nominated for excellence at E3. As Jeremy tells us, (Direct Song has valued relationships with a number of publishers but we're very excited to be launching our first service with ArenaNet and NCSoft. It's truly a groundbreaking opportunity.)
At the current time, Direct Song is offering the Special Edition Soundtrack. This ought to make a lot of people happy, as the Collector's Edition sold out quickly and many fans have written to ask about obtaining the soundtrack. And in the weeks and months to come, you'll find samplers, individual sound tracks, and a lot more. (Perhaps the music for Grenth's Footprints and Sorrow's Furnace? Only time will tell!)
Just to give a little more info on the system, with Direct Song, you can sample the tunes before you purchase them, and you get the opportunity to download more than just once, ensuring that if you reformat your hard drive, upgrade your computer, or decide to share the joy of Guild Wars with your notebook system, you can do it without an additional charge. It all sounds like a pretty great musical acquisition system, and we'll see more details on these options in the coming weeks.
