N-Gage 2 Wants “Super” Distribution
Since their previous retail model didn't exactly do too well, Nokia are looking at doing things a little differently this time around. Their new plan?
Everything is on a try and buy basis - there will always be a way for someone to trial a game. It's super-distribution in that you can send a user a game, they can try it, perhaps send it to a friend, and then that person can buy it.
Users should, in theory (they haven't finalised this yet), be able to download a full game, but only be allowed to play it for half an hour. To play any more, they've got to stump up the cash.
In theory, it's a sound plan. How successful it'll be will depend on the N-Gage 2, the games and whether Nokia can pull such a plan off, of course, but now the idea's been floated man oh man it'd be great if Xbox Live Arcade or the Virtual Console adopted a similar policy.
