Anyone know where I can buy the SSX Tricky OST Digitally and can be streamed to my 360?

i've been begging for over 5 years.
My thumbs and hands HURT.SO.GOOD.
I suppose my hands are showing their age it's been what nearly 9 years since I've mashed buttons this furiously. After playing for about 4 hours I gotta say I'm pretty in love with this game. But, I also have to agree with some of the criticism that I read in reviews. Falling to your death is a real buzz kill. The 3 or so deadly descents I've played have not been much to write home about either for lack of a better word they seem gimmicky.
Besides those couple of things I can safely say that I'll be playing SSX for a long time and it's a very enjoyable and worthy SSX entry.

Got the game at 10AM. Played straight through until 4PM when I had to go pick up my girlfriend. I was on the drop right before the New Zealand deadly decent. So close to finished with World Tour!
Also glowing suits rule.

Played the game, controls ruined the game for me. The game is much more focused on speed this time around which is really disappointing, in SSX 3 you could hold down the right stick to maintain your boost but now it does nothing, so when you have no boost you might as well walk to the next jump.
This sucks. I got the game for cheap ($55 including tax). Come home to play it. Oh wait, the window on my car doesn't work and won't roll up. Can't have that, since we park it outside. Me and my dad spend a while fixing it, eventually give up and just force the window up and duck tape it closed. And now it's time to shower and go to bed. All without opening my copy of SSX 
This sucks.
This sucks.
been playing this with my roommate all day. amazing game and really feels like a great addition to the storied ssx franchise.
deadly descents are super fun, wingsuit is awesome, music is surprisingly good, controls feel spot on, graphics and framerate are crisp.
we're still working our way through the world tour, can't wait to start the real meat of the game.

Palette swaps and slightly more interesting glowing suits.

Why are some of you guys ripping songs to your HD? On 360 I have no issues streaming playlists from my PC.
You mean board presses to extend your combo? The game still has board presses and they work the same. Only different is you can't rotate while in the press like in SSX3.
Haha, yeah. Hope I get this 400k for platinuming this race on serenity. Was in the zone on those rails. 3:44
I'm pretty mediocre at racing (4:05) but I did get 30~ million on the trick it. PAYDAY
Do you still get the special remix effects when streaming?
does it remix your music for you?

Yes. Wu Tang doesn't usually get scratched like this.

At times perhaps it feels that way, but most of the time it's definitely not. You'll be wishing it would on a lot of the tracks with dropoffs.

The only deadly decent that really irked me was Africa (and Himalayas a bit). I hope it is better with a maxed out headlamp. It bugs me that the backcountry peaks are all basically not-as-deadly descents. It has basically assured the fact that I will never play them in Africa and the Himalayas. The air tank is just stupid and makes the game arbitrarily harder.
I will probably spend 90%+ of my time on the Event peaks. They all totally rule. I especially loved Siberia's, the Himalayas', and New Zealand's. And Alaska's too actually. They scream old school SSX design.

Played too much of this today. Finished World Tour and am knocking out a few Explore things. It's pretty good when you have the feel for it.
I cannot for the life of me find your geotag on Broken Elbow. :lol

Haha. Let's just say I lost control and ended up somewhere I didnt intend to be.

So good. I spent most of the day going through the world tour (still have the final event to go), but I pulled up the global events for a bit before turning it off for the night. I played four or five events and I think I'm going to get sucked in pretty easily.
Are the ghosts you see in those events people playing at the same time or just replays of the past runs of others?
And I still need more snowboardin' friends. ;D XBL: IamMattFox
The blue ghost you'll see is the ghost of the lowest score in the next bracket (for example if you were on the bronze bracket, you'll see the ghost of the lowest score in the silver bracket.)
The other hologram-like colored ghosts are people who are playing the event in real time with you, sort of like the ghosts you see in Demon's Souls.
Same here.

Ah, neat. I'll pay more attention to this next time.
I wasn't even expecting to see the ghosts or real-time players in these events. It seems to make things more exciting overall.
I love this game except when I'm wildly careening off cliffs and/or into lava holes and am then forced to restart since rewinding back to a point where I could actually shift my momentum such that I don't die would be painfully penalizing.
I need more people on my friendslist who actually picked the game up. XBL name is same as my username.

Yeah, need more snowboarding friends. PSN: LonestarGA
It's a good feeling to beat someone else's time/score
You can go to RiderNet > Rivals > and then scroll down a bit and you can get friends of your friends and add them which may be easier.

Mine hasn't shipped either. Did you call them and did they tell you Thursday at the earliest? If so, I will never reserve a game from them again.

Is there any rumblings of this showing up on the Vita?
I must've missed this. No MP3's? ripping my mp3 collection to a CD and doing it that way won't work?
Well I'm fucked then, I don't even own any CD's any more.

I like some of it. The demo seemed to have all the best music tracks though because most of the songs have been lame.
