McDonald's and iTunes Giveaway... True?

Great, now I'm going to gain weight.....

McDonalds would be really, really stupid to pass up a marketing chance like this. iTunes is huge and will get bigger, especially around the Superbowl.

This should be fun to watch!

:) :rolleyes: :D

I'd rather get a song from the iTunes Music Store than a sticker for Park Place or 1 dollar at Best Buy.

I dunno about this. I want it to be true, but I am not putting my faith into it until I see more info. Let's hope I'm wrong!

edit - nobody has mentioned the conflict of Pepsi vs Coke (McDonalds' soda supplier) - thought I would bring it up, for what it's worth.

McDonalds target market and pop music (although this by no means covers the range of music available) I think go hand and hand. Until now, McDonalds would have had no financially reasonable method of tying in with the music aspect. With the advent of iTunes and it's ilk, this is feasible as until now physical media was the only delivery method, which would be costly, and a logistical nightmare. Now the question begs; what other companies in numerous industries/markets can also leverage this paradigm change?

I think it's going to be great exposure for the iTunes Music Store and for Apple.

Apple need to solidify it's lead in this field and tie-ups with big names can only help.

Now, maybe they can have a promo with the Big Mac :D

This sounds good for Apple.

Just hope they do similar deals here when iTMS Europe is finally released...

this... sounds... huge!

Seriously, I think the Coke vs. Pepsi thing is going to be a big deal. Any thoughts??

No big deal if MacDonalds promo is for Europe only.

I can't believe Apple would want to be associated with a company like mcdonalds.
