Covers for Game Soundtracks?
Mick Dundee:
not long ago I purchased Dawn Of Mana, it has a pre-order soundtrack with a few songs, I bought a double ps2 game for the case (Dragon Quest VII)
I think the7K is right about needing something for the sake of the bonuses. I personally think there should be a custom cover that uses both the game and CD (so long as there is a way to get your hands on a case that will hold both comfortably)
For Example: Dragon Quest VII came with a FFXII demo... It stated so on the bottom right of the cover in one of those little bubbles.
Same thing with Fullmetal Alchemist 2 with a DVD extra
As far as games that can't in any way accommodate the bonus discs, yes, I think we should have special cases and covers or something for them.
The only problem is to figure out the format. You don't want your Chrono Trigger DS soundtrack next to the game in a DVD style case.
A jewel case or half height DVD case is more fitted for that.
But on the other of the gaming spectrum is the DVD style cases that you might not want the bonus disc to be in a jewel case or half height DVD.

Decided to try this out with an easy one. Just got the Fragile Dreams Soundtrack, and it was just a sleeve. Just formatted it for CD size and gave it endlabels.

Feel free to treat them as raws - my scanner does a poor job of getting rid of the moire pattern.

I think that's a great idea!! I hate it when I get a soundtrack and nothing to put it in because I can't put it with my other game soundtracks.
I hope you guys decide to do it. and might I suggest Castlevania 20th anniversary soundtrack :P
