ABC has partnered with CafePress and Barco Uniforms to provide branded merchandise through an online store. The products available include shirts, sweatshirts, kitchen-ware, home-ware, and bags, with the "Grey's Anatomy" logo on it. Also available are custom unisex scrubs and lab coats in a variety of colors and sizes, designed by Barco. The merchandise released by ABC is available for purchase at the "Grey's Anatomy" official website, and US$1 from every purchase to Barco's Nightingales Foundation. Five volumes of the "Grey's Anatomy Original Soundtrack" have been released as of 2011. For the first two seasons, the show's main title theme was an excerpt from "Cosy in the Rocket", by British duo Psapp; it is featured on the first soundtrack album released via ABC's corporate cousin, Hollywood Records, on September 27, 2005. The second soundtrack, featuring songs from the series' second season, was released on September 12, 2006, followed by a third soundtrack with music from the third season. Following the seventh season musical episode "Song Beneath the Song", ""Grey's Anatomy": The Music Event" soundtrack was released, with volume four of the soundtrack released subsequently. In January 2009, Ubisoft announced that it had signed a licensing agreement with ABC Studios to develop a video game based on "Grey's Anatomy". Designed for the Wii, Nintendo DS, and PC, "" was released on March 10, 2009. The game allows the player to assume the role of one of the main characters, making decisions for the character's personal and professional life, and competing in a number of minigames. It has been criticized by reviewers because of the simplicity of the mini-games and voice actors who do not play the same characters on the series, with Jason Ocampo of "IGN" giving it a 6.0 out of 10 overall rating. ABC and Nielsen partnered in 2011 to create a "Grey Anatomy" application for Apple's iPad. The application was designed to allow viewers to participate in polls and learn trivial facts as they watch a live episode. It uses Nielsen's Media-Sync software to listen for the episode and to post features as the episode progresses.
