I'll be completing some video game soundtracks over the next few months and would like to sell the soundtracks digitally online. In other words, I want to sell the full soundtracks to the games that I've already completed and are released. I don't mean selling my tracks as assets to be used in games that are in production.

I've already set up my PayPal business account, but I'm shopping around for a distributor. I'm leaning toward CDBaby, but I'm curious what many of you are using. Any success or horror stories to share about any of the main services? Any recommendations, with reasons why you are recommending them, would be really appreciated. Thanks a lot!

I haven't sold any music, but I have helped video producer buddy of mine buy some music for film.  We used youLicence which can be found here.
 
This site allows you to set your terms and prices.  It allows you to set prices for the whole piece or a 30 second clip (like something that might be used in a commercial).
 
Don't know about the selling end, but the buying end was easy to navigate.

OK - I have replied to this post twice - is someone removing my reply?

I have it set up to receive instant email notifications if someone replies to this, but this is the first time I've gotten a notification saying that you've posted. Hmmm. Strange. Anyway, feel free to post again if you don't mind.

The site will let artists set their own prices and terms and allow them price out the whole piece or a 30 second clip (like might be used in a commercial.)
 
The purchase side was very easy to navigate, but I can't really speak for the sales side of it.

Thanks for the tip, but I'm actually talking more about selling the completed soundtracks to games that I've already written the scores for. Just as you could go pick up the soundtrack to a movie that you liked, I want to sell my completed soundtracks to games I've worked on :)

I edited the original post for clarification. I asked this same question on a Facebook page and someone misunderstood what I was asking as well. Sorry for the lack of clarification.

The spam filter caught the link in your post.
 
I've restored it and given the filter a damn good thrashing.

The Songs forum would be best to ask this question. 
I hate to say that "selling" any form of audio is pretty tough unless your already connected to the right people. The new generation has become used to free. iTunes might be the leader these days. Artists who don't tour, don't sell.

Techniques is a good catch-all for "How do I?" type posts that are not Sonar specific.
 
It's not just mixing techniques, or production techniques.  Marketing and distribution techniques are very important to learn.
 
I'm leaving it here for now though, unless you specifically want it moved.
