Konami has embraced the future of digital (music) delivery. They have signed a deal with Sony BMG to release their game collection soundtracks online, through various channels such as iTunes and Rhapsody.
Hearing this makes me think that Nintendo should answer back with a Wii Channel that constantly streams various Nintendo-themed soundtracks 24/7.
I like the idea of a nintendo streaming channel, because there's no way I'm paying money for video game music, especially if I own a copy of said game. Still doesn't make up for the lack of an MP3 channel, or the lameness of the "Everybody Votes" channel.
I'd rather get physical copies of my Bemani soundtracks, but all the same, it's good to see that they're making the music more accessible for lesser known, and of course import only titles.
This sounds good to me, since Konami tends to have stellar soundtracks. Metal Gear Solid, Castlevania, Zone of the Enders, and even the Gradius series come to mind.

They're remixes, not originals, but there's lots of em, and they're free.
I've found lots of gems on this site. Plus it's organized by game title.
Sure lots of you have seen this, but for those who haven't, give it a try.
I'd recommend "The Incredible Singing Robot" by Star Salzman for all you Chrono Trigger fans.
Oooh I'd like to add my support for a Wii streaming music channel as well. There's so much classic game music for the various Nintendo and Sega systems that they could easily do something like that.
Oh yeah, I'm gonna jump right on this, buy some game soundtracks from Sony BMG This proposition gives me many LuLz.
