That and To Galaxy are probably my faves up to now, no more. I'm fucking sold on Davidage as the right choice.

The samples are so good! Definitely sounds epic, futuristic, and intense. I think it's going to fit Halo 4 very well.
EDIT: Might be the first Halo OST I will purchase.

what happened to knife party?
I watched Star Wars for the first time on Laserdisc, true story
Laserdisc!
Edit: that's what I get for not refreshing the page.
Listening to the samples now. Had to sit through a meeting staring at them. Was tempted to start rocking out anyways.

Maybe it is one of the 3 remixes?
I swear to god I bought the Anniversary vinyl and every thrift store got cleaned out of their turntables the next week, and didn't get any to restock with.
Whoever decided to include the digital code with it was a smart person.

I still haven't redeemed it, thinking I might just give it away

So many highs, mids, and lows. And also auxiliaries!
I have a question. Given the spoiler nature of the soundtrack names, among other things, I would like to know the following. If Frankie or David could answer, that'd be lovely. Usually Halo soundtracks come out the same day as the game (or after). This one isn't. Would it be better to hold off picking up the soundtrack until after we play the campaign?
I'm very 'cited to pick up the album, but I want campaign to be as fresh as possible. If you guys don't think our campaign experience will be diminished, I'll pick it up the 22nd.
Where did the Recruit image go... because i'm pretty darn sure it ain't the same as the pic i linked.

Revival is awesome. To Galaxy sounds like it wants to be the new Halo theme, but eh.
The rest is okay, I guess.

You're paying $400 for the console. These exclusives have no real value besides the work put into them which we are financing with the game. 'Shelling out' can't really be applied here when it is the console they are shelling out for.
Regardless of where you pre-order the game, you are always paying for the game. You are never paying for that 'exclusive' pre-order when you pick retailer X over retailer Y.
Of course these bonuses drive numbers for 'pre-orders' but those aren't beneficial for players at all and only serve to benefit retailers of most sizes. Look at Ireland. Gamestop is the only retailer which focuses on games. The other two with these exclusive bonuses are a toy shop and a video rental store respectively. I have no intent on ever buying from those retailers as long as a dedicated gaming one exists as I can at least assume some level of knowledge about the games. The video rental place is getting gungnir while Gamestop is getting the Canada armor pack. The idea that players who conduct business with retailers of lesser quality in order to get a cooler armor piece is silly.
The consumer is never benfitting really from these things. Gameplay doesn't need to be involved for this to be a shitty practice. It should be challenged like every other qualm people have with this game. I just love the franchise blah blah blah...
To offer my solution, I'd treat the armor pieces like Specilisations.
We have 8 Specs so far, right?
Everyone starts off with two. This will translate to the armory people start off with available for them to unlock.
You preordered at Gamestop? We'll say that unlocks armor piece X early. your buddy preordered at EB? Armor piece Y for him. Boom. Ye both have the pieces you want. The retailer gets their secured purchase in the bag too!
Now, treating these like Specs. Say there is a third prson who never preordered. They can unlock pieces X and Y but only after playing the game for a really long time. You can unlock piece Y if you spend a lotta time in the game and your buddy can do the same with your early unlock of X.
Why anyone should feel as though they are entitled to an exclusive armor piece forever because they placed an early order for a game is seriously laughable. Let them have it early as their bonus. The retailer had their early sale, let players have their armor early.
Everyone wins. Seriously. Retailers are happy. Devs are happy. Players are happy. Players can be broken down into;
a)People who preordered the game nice and early.
b)People who want to be able to get te use of all the in-game content.
c)People who never preordered but who feel as though they shouldn't be punished despite paying the same price as everyone else.
d)People who feel they deserved a bonus for preordering.
Why benefit only a small number of people when you can benefit everyone?
Of course, I don't expect things to change and can only call out what I see.
Aren't CED's like vinyl records except they play video as well as audio?

I'd love to get the remixed OST on vinyl, but I don't have a good enough system for it
Not gonna lie, 3:41 to 5:32 made my balls explode.
The Rolling Stone music player looks, sounds, and functions like they haven't updated their website in 10 years.
I bet it is related to UNSC and the Infinity! It has the sound, rather "military"
Man, LE soundtrack bundle looks awesome, would love if they released a vinyl record like CEA.
Halo 4's setting me back HORRIBLY financially. My wallet's already bracing for impact, so far I got:
- $100 for LE game
- $60 for UNSC controller (need a new controller, why not)
- $75 for LE Soundtravk
- $200? for wireless Halo 4 headset (need a new headset, why not)
Working up to $500 alone on Halo 4. Wow. Not to mention there's going to be people out there who add the console to that list.
