Not exactly EU, but really, why wait for an official EU release if it's going to be the exact same product anyway (unless you want to save a couple of Euro on shipping..) Pre-ordered my copy there the day it got added

Given that I have very low expectations of the square enix store being set up in Australia for the sale of non-digital goods any time within the next year...

I've been hovering over this option all morning. Worked it out that it will be £39 for the item plus cheapest delivery, £6.60 for VAT (Tax), and based upon the last time I imported something- £7.50 for a Handling charge from Customs, making a total of £53.10 (converts into $82 for reference). I just can't justify that price right now. I'm holding out for a reasonably priced SE option.

So nervous!

For some reason Blurays are often quite expensive in Japan, although this particular one is quite cheap. Probably because it's really just music, and no full concert or movie or some such. I have several Maaya Sakamoto concert DVDs and Blurays, and those were around 70-80 euro not including shipping and VAT.

This soundtrack does include a LOT of music though. I believe they said if they were to release it on CD, they'd need 6 or 7 of them, and of course there's a couple of extra's included as well. Personally, I think it's worth it, but yeah, it's not cheap

In the LIVE Letter TEST broadcast, we saw the CD booklet, and the titles have been localized (well, at least English in the one shown).

Yay! That's a relief. Thanks for sharing, ArkhamNative!

English translations in the preview vid starting at :46, as well!

If I'm gonna have these ripped in MP3 format, I want them in English even if I have to rename all 104 of them myself, darn it!

And was that Before Meteor Soundtrack T-Shirt that Soken was wearing legit, or self-made iron-on transfer, I wonder?

[Coris]

Will there only be Bru-lay? :/
I don't have a drive for that.

btw, trying to get two OSTs at GamesCom, hoping they won't be out of stock on 23rd xD

In TEST broadcast for LL7, Soken said they decided on Blu-ray™ because it would be over 7 CDs worth of just music, and the sound quality wouldn't be as good (44.1kHz 16bit for CD vs 96kHz 24bit on Blu-ray).

Before Meteor also has a remastered HD 5.1 surround sound version of the A New Beginning trailer. (YouTube link)

Aye, I know why they chose Blu-ray. I just wondered if they'd sell CD/DVD one's too ._.
Well, I think it won't make sense for me to get one then. Don't own a PS3 and actually buying a Player/drive now wouldn't make sense either. (I rarely even use my normal DVD drive)

A digital version would be cool though :0
