Tap Tap Revenge Adds $.99 Song Bundles
A new version of Tap Tap Revenge, the most popular game for the iPhone and iPod Touch is being released on Wednesday. Tap Tap Revenge 3 will use Apple's in-app commerce system to allow players to download game tracks from major label artists. Two track bundles are priced at $.99 and 6 tracks at $2.99.
At launch there will be more than 40 bundles
available from major label artists, each with a custom theme (full
list after the jump). The game will come with free tracks from LMFAO,
Tiësto and Stroke 9, and another 100 tracks from
independent artists can be downloaded free. Additional tracks will be made available each
week including free featured tracks. The free featured track
during the launch week is Fall Out Boy's "Sugar, We're Goin Down.”
Since in-app commerce is not allowed in free apps, the formerly free Tap Tap Revenge will $.99. 15 million people have downloaded the game and 3 million unique users play it each month. Here is a list of the bundles available at launch:

I’m so addicted to Tap Tap Revenge. As a manager I’ve been interested in how songs are chosen for in game usage (does it go through the same process as how music is chosen in regular videogames or is it different). I’d love to be able to get my artists’ songs included as free playable/downloadable tracks. Anybody know if Tapulous has a submittal process or something?
