If your'e looking to, uh, light up your next karaoke party, you might want to consider pre-ordering Microsoft's Xbox 360 sing-a-thon title, Lips.
Both Amazon and Gamestop are offering up a pre-order code for one free music download every week for two months after the game's release (pull out a calculator ... that's eight songs). The songs will be downloaded via the Zune Marketplace, which means you might actually have to bite the bullet and sign up for the service ... even if you don't have a Zune.
The pre-order listings don't specify what the free tracks will be, but it's noted that they will be chosen by "the Zune team," whatever in the hell that means. But it doesn't really matter what they are; at the end of the day, no one will be happy, and everyone will find something to whine about.
I really want all eight tracks to be off of American Idol hopeful David Archuleta's debut album.

Compared to the Wii, you have next to no install base (within that demo), your price point is higher on virtually everything, you don't have nearly the "casual recognition"...
It's like McDonald's trying to serve $50 aged steaks. Your regulars aren't going to buy them on a whim, and nobody is stupid enough to trust a steak from McDonald's.
I lol'd.
The best part is that it's an actual lyric.
But i am happy to see games starting to give some sort of bonus for pre ordering games. I have been pre ordering games for year and the ebst thing i ever got was an Original Xbox T-Shirt i think it was for reserving midnight club back in the day. BRING BACK T-Shirts!
But while I'm at it, Mmm... DJ Duffy.
