Article:   Blizzard Launches Hub for Video Game Soundtracks

This just in!  Blizzard will be offering select soundtracks of several video games for your listening pleasure on itunes.  Because the soundtracks are  on itunes, you will need an itunes account in order to make a purchase.

Individual songs/music go for $0.99 and full game sound tracks cost $9.99. The author states you get a better deal by buying whole sound tracks instead of individual songs.

One of the video game mentioned that will have  sountracks you can buy  from itunes is StarCraft (pictured).  Of course, there are others as well. 

When I watched StarCraft being played, I do not recall any riveting music--but maybe this was because I was so engrossed in the game itself.

 Ms. H's take. In my opinion, some video games have music that would be enjoyable to listen to outside or without playing the video game itself.  One of the comments left under this article by a video game player was that if he wanted to hear the music, he would just play the video game instead of buying the music from itunes!  My question to him would be -- What happens if you want to listen to the video game music, without actually playing the game?

 I recall several video games that have accompanying soundtracks available for play.  One game that comes to mind is Mortal Kombat, which has music  also on itunes.     I do not have a problem with video game soundtracks being available on itunes.  Just as with other choices, it is up to you if you would like to buy video game music, separate from the video game.  

 I see buying video game soundtracks as another  dimension of video game buying -- now instead of just buying the game, you can also purchase the video game songs or music!!
