However, by December the company hopes to add another 1,500 music videos to its list, both new and old videos. Initially the service will offer some videos like Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams". The music videos are expected to be offered for prices between $1.99 and $2.99. "We are thrilled to be working with the record labels as they explore this promising new revenue stream," CinemaNow president Bruce Eisen said. "We are equally as thrilled to be working with Microsoft's Windows Mobile division to continue to provide valuable content for their innovative product lines."
"This is the first time music fans can purchase videos the same way they do a music track," said Frank Barbieri, Microsoft's group product manager, Windows Mobile Media. "It's yours to own, so you can move it anywhere that supports Microsoft's Plays for Sure." Mediapass has a different way of offering however. It will allow you to watch music videos freely on the site but if you download them you will have to pay for them.
