Covers for Game Soundtracks?
the7k:
It's becoming more and more common, it seems, for a few publishers to release soundtracks with their games. Unfortunately, very few of them actually come in jewel cases - in fact, a few of them come in nothing more than sleeves, if that!
Anyway, I was wondering - If I made jewel case covers for the soundtracks that come with games
(Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny, Mirror's Edge, Mana Khamia, Demon's Souls, BlazBlue, Metal Gear Solid 4, Disgaea 3, Chrono Trigger DS and Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne are a few that I can remember off the top of my head), would you guys be able to upload them to the site? I'd think that a lot of people could use them.

Hmmm.... I don't know about that... It has something to do with games but is it really fitting for a game cover preservation site?

If it was included with the game then i could possibly see us hosting it ... not sure though.
hmmm......

Yeah, I thought I had seen non-game covers that were still related to the games on here before, although I don't think it should be it's own section. For example, I'd think the Mirror's Edge CD cover should just be uploaded to the Mirror's Edge page in the PC section, since that's the release that came with the CD.
Also, I'd think they should only be allowed if the game actually came with a CD in someway. For instance, Demon's Souls and Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny came with CDs if you pre-ordered it - I think that counts. On the other hand, Guilty Gear X had an OST sold separately for the game - and I think that it shouldn't count (unless I missed a release that did include the soundtrack, somehow).

The only game I have that came with a soundtrack was Persona 4, but thankfully it came in a 2-disc case and not a paper sleeve. Never got around to buying the second half of the soundtrack that came with a calendar, a plushie, a t-shirt, and I think something else, but I bet it's worth much more than the $30-50 they were asking for around the game's release..
