I know there's one for Judgment but as far as I know, none for OoE.

Apparently GameCrazy or something like that is giving OoE a preorder soundtrack, but I assume that's universal and we just don't know about it... sorry, I don't posses a link.

Never even heard of Game Crazy, but yeah, their website says there's a preorder soundtrack CD. Dammit, what to do... Preorder from them or wait to see if GameStop offers something cooler?

If I weren't getting the SE, I would have gone with Game Crazy just to get the soundtrack.

DXC had the nifty little Simon figure. :o Too bad I preordered at a store that gets shafted for preorder stuff most of the time. If only I had known... They gave me a cool "Han Solo frozen in carbonite" PSP carrying case to make up for it, though, which is cooler than the toy anyway.

Has anyone here dealt with Gamecrazy before? I'm considering pre-ordering through them for the soundtrack CD, but I don't want to go through a company that reneges on release date shipping or botches orders.

Well, if someone does get the CD from Game Crazy, I expect to see some VBR 192kbps MP3s or AACs (the latter, for me, is preferable) on here. :o All it takes is a zip upload to Megaupload.

I'm still kinda holding out to see if GameStop has anything, but if they don't in the next couple weeks and then I preorder from Game Crazy and they run out of CDs, then I'll be annoyed, and hope that someone can upload the files.

Also the guy at gamestop said Konami is combining Judgement and OoE into one strategy guide. Anyone hear anything about that?

Actually yeah.  I meant to print out the page when I saw it.  I know Brady Games is suppose to be doing the Strat. Guide (or at least, that's what the BG rep told us at conference.) but maybe Prima will do it now (:crosses fingers:) and it will be like the Star Wars: Forced Unleashed Guide, where the PS3/360 version was from one end and on the back, they had the Wii version of the guide. On Amazon however, it's appears that it's just for OoE.

So...what...is this strat. guide maybe an exclusive for Gamestop? (They get that kind of stuff a lot now.)

Gamestop preorder bonus
http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=72162

I'm guessing this is the same CD gamecrazy is getting.

Thanks!

I'll preorder this, and someone should preorder from Game Crazy to see if it's the same CD or not. ;p Would be kinda cool if they offered two different ones, but doubtful.

Edit: Ooh, wait, it mentions a code, so this must be a download. H'rm. :\ Better be high bitrate.

Well, that was absolutely random, but feel free to blurt out your totally incorrect opinion whenever you like. (http://thedarkacademy.forumandco.com/users/25/76/37/smiles/146820.gif) Simon's Quest is far from suck.

it's better than legends and portrait, that's for sure. :P

on topic, we never get preorders so insert random jealousy here. though not that i really care, i'll download the cd rip and scans once it's out anyway.

Where do you live? o:

I consider Simon's Quest to be better than the Metroidvanias, so meh. It does some things wrong and is pretty weird, but I love it all the same.

I ponied up and reserved at Gamestop today. I took the risk and did it in store (normally I do it online and have it shipped), I just hope my copy isn't opened as Gamestop has been known to do.  I tried to find out if the soundtrack was a download or a physical disc, but the clerk was clueless.

I did get him to promise that if I picked it up at release I'd get my preorder bonus, though.

In Reply To that guy who asked if it was a download...

no its a physical cd althought there are very little songs on it...(dissapointing) but still pretty cool none the less

Title: Re: So what the hell, GameStop and Konami? No preorder bonus announced for OOE?
Post by: Kamirine on October 08, 2008, 06:26:34 PM
Yeah, it only has six songs:

1. An Empty Tome - 1:08
2. Edge of the Sky - 3:26
3. Sorrow's Distortion - 2:24
4. Ebony Wings - 2:23
5. Order of the Demon - 3:14
6. Wandering the Crystal Blue (arranged) - 1:35

I'm not sure if the first 5 are the same samples that can be heard on the Konamistyle site (I'm pretty sure Ebony Wing is though, since one of the songs from the site loosely translated is called "Jet Black Wings"...) but I'm hoping the last song is an arranged version of the Ocean stage's theme.  (I wouldn't mind if one of those songs was from Tymeo Mountain either...)

I should have you killed for that comment. CV2 is one of the best CVs ever made.
