Xbox 360 should have integrated with MSN Music

Xbox 360: Back to the Drawing Board

This was a no-brainer. Think about it, buy music using your Xbox 360 and Xbox Live and transfer it to your “Plays for Sure” Windows Media Player. Integrating MSN Music with the Xbox 360 would have helped Microsoft compete with Apple.

Oh man, I didn’t even think about that. That would have been a killer app for the 360. I suppose they can still add it, but does anyone really buy music from MSN Music? Has anyone ever bought music from MSN Music? Why MSN Music instead of Walmart or Napster? Back before I had an iPod, I bought a few tracks from the Walmart music store. I’ve gotten a gift card for the Napster music store and picked up 10 song from there. But I’ve never seen a reason to buy anything from MSN Music.
