Who doesn’t watch videos of people getting hit in the junk on YouTube? Don’t lie!
Well looks like now you will get the opportunity to not only watch your funny obscure videos but also purchase video games as well. There will be an integration in video game clips to give users the option to purchase full titles from sites like Amazon. So the next time you watch a leaked trailer for Gears of War 2 you can jump over and put an order in for it as well.
I like the idea, but I just don’t see myself using this option very often, will you be scouring YouTube and buying games?
YouTube, the world’s most popular video-sharing site, will start to sell music and video games and experiment with new advertising formats to grow revenue, executives said on Tuesday.
The Google-owned business is taking the first steps toward building an e-commerce service through which it will sell music, films, TV shows, video games, books, concert tickets and other media-related products featured on the millions of videos on YouTube.
Visitors to YouTube.com can buy songs from music videos they watch on the site by clicking on buttons that take them either to Amazon.com Inc’s MP3 store or Apple Inc’s iTunes store.
YouTube users will also be able to buy video games, such as Electronic Arts Inc’s sci-fi game “Spore” through the Amazon link.
