With the release of the single by Metallica yesterday, it got me thinking.

Metallica was smart by having a link on their site.  You can listen to the song, but yet can't download.  That way everyone can get their fix and check it out.  At the same time, they released it to itunes.  So, if you don't like the song, after one listen you can just disregard, but if you MUST have it now, you can simply pay the 99 cents and download.  So everyone that still buys the album has also coughed up an additional buck for the first single.  It would be interesting to see how many downloads the song got yesterday and how much money it can generate.

Now enter SR.  Would it be wise that around the release of the game that Guns did something very similar?  They could put a link on the site and release it to itunes as well.  One more way to make a quick buck and pay back the millions.  Then you would have the Rock Band money, the itunes money, and possible the exclusive seller of CD money.
