Joystiq interviews David Reid of GameTap

A while back, we covered a story on GameTap a (Turner game-download subscription service) which charge a fee to download and pay an unlimited amount of games. IMO Its a fun concept but I don’t see reaching mainstream

Anyways, JoyStiq interviewed thier VP David Reid

How big is GameTap? Can you tell us how many subscribers you have or how the service has grown?

We don’t disclose subscriber numbers; that’s just Turner policy. Some of the things we do talk about are, right now the service has a free trial component to it. We find that 70-plus percent of people who try GameTap become purchasers. We find that a very encouraging number and if you look out and see what Xbox Live’s announced about Arcade in terms of people who take a trial version, download, and then purchase it we think our numbers compare extremely favorably.”
