Qwest Communications International is bundling Sony games and entertainment with its digital subscriber line service in an attempt to attract new broadband customers.
The Baby Bell said Thursday that it is offering a choice of two packages, one focused on games and the other on entertainment downloads. The services come free with a subscription to MSN Broadband powered by Qwest, the digital subscriber line (DSL) service it sells in partnership with Microsoft.
"We believe that rich media content and applications will further drive broadband adoption and customer retention across the industry," Michael Arrieta, senior vice president of strategic alliances for Sony Pictures Digital Networks, said in a statement.
The Broadband Games Pack includes 30-day subscriptions to Sony's popular online PC games "EverQuest" and "PlanetSide," alongside downloadable titles such as "Jeopardy," "Wheel of Fortune" and "Charlie's Angels: Angel X."
