Redwood City, Calif. -- Video game developer Electronic Arts said on Thursday that it partnered with Sony Music to include pre-release songs in its new "NFL Street" game, two of which will also be released as music videos that feature actual gameplay footage. The two tracks will also be released to radio as singles. NFL Street, which was released today for PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube, features a soundtrack scored by the X-ecutioners, as well as licensed tracks from Sony Music artists including Korn featuring NAS, Killer Mike, Lil Flip, Lostprophets and Wylde Bunch. As part of the partnership, select Sony artist CDs sold at several retailers will include a playable demo CD of NFL Street. "This project gives us the perfect opportunity to combine some of the most exciting artists working today with the fast growing -- and highly influential -- world of gaming," said Don Ienner, president of Sony Music U.S.
