FUCK. God damn if this came out I would buy about 1000 copies.
Also: Sonic CD Double Set - one vinyl of US music, one vinyl of EU/JP music. DO IT (Wouldn't mind Sonic 1-3K either, but I know Sonic 1/2 music releases are weird because Dreams Come True's lead owns the music or whatever, thus why it took 20+ years for an official OST release)

It's quite annoying because all the versions are totally identical from the outside. I bought two copies of Shenmue because I'm a huge fan - black for playing and LE to keep sealed for my collection of memorabilia - and had to flip a coin on which one to open. I ended up opening the LE, naturally -_-

Look on the bright side; if you never opened it, how would you know you ever had the LE in the first place?
Shinobi looks gorgeous and is tempting but, while it's a great score the SoR ones are just on a different level and special to me. In general I only like a small amount of Genesis music but those are really just a huge leap forward for game music and deserve a special release like this more than any other from the console.
I'm not saying they shouldn't make it however, more power to those of you wanting this (and there's still a chance I get it myself). I do wish the gap between the SoR releases wasn't so long though.

Alright - got in touch with Spacelab9 who confirmed that the Mega Man release is scheduled for early October so the wait won't be long. They're releasing details soon.

So first thing I'm going to need is a turntable. Can anyone recommend a good entry level one? I was looking at this Orbit.
I'm in the same boat with the Streets of Rage one. I was going to ask if there was a way to tell them apart since they said that they will be reprinting the red one so I was going to try to keep the black one sealed.
True and that makes sense sine they didn't differentiate them from the outside. Makes me wonder how they packaged them for shipment without mixing them up? I guess they came in separate boxes of each type.
Hmm now that I think about it I guess I'm crazy trying to keep the spare one sealed up. Might as well open it (and some of my other ones like Bioshock 2) to listen to them since I'll feel crazy if I buy everything just to hoard it instead of playing them.

Audio Technica LP60 is a good first turntable. I've never heard of the one you linked, but that's not saying it isn't a good one.

If u have a 3DS, cop the 3D Classic. Game rocks.
You can still play it. Really should.
The Orbit is your best bet here. It's the cheapest new turntable you should consider imo. Only reason to go cheaper is if you find some nice vintage stuff.
I don't want to come of as an ass and I'll happily explain myself as to why I don't like the LP60 (or many of the similar models around $100), but I don't want this thread to go too much in the heavy equipment discussion-direction either as it can often be very opinionated - and not always in the good way.
If anyone's looking for new equipment feel free to send me a PM for recommendations or explanations as to what you should look for in a turntable - new or vintage.

I've been thinking about turning a corner of my garage into a beer hangout for fall/winter and stole the idea of having a record player from the last brewery I went to.
I have some old Gemini direct drive tables from when I thought I could be a DJ back in 99/00, but they are in a bit of disarray. After seeing the cost of a new cartridge and mat, I figured I could spend a little extra and just buy an LP60 (and if I stick with this, I'll upgrade that to something more longterm).
So that, some decent (nice?) speakers and Rolling Stones - Beggars Banquet should be here within the week.
I freaked out thinking I missed the Streets of Rage release, but saw it was coming back.
And seeing Streets of Rage 2 announced can only mean the true master, Streets of Rage 3, can't be far behind.

They need to do the Genesis AND the Sega CD version though. Picking one over the other would make waves.

Then the $290 that I spent today was worth every penny.SOR3 have already been confirmed
Forgot to post this earlier - NerdBlock is including a 7" with music from the game Galak-Z in their September Arcade Block - it can only be bought for the next 5 hours if anyone's interested.

Wipeout 3 OST never made it to 12".
And the Sasha - Xpander EP doesn't include his other tracks he made for the game (ima still buy it tho).

Ship To Shore Phono Co. just posted the following screenshot from a vgm soundtrack they're working on. Looks like we're getting the Axiom Verge OST on vinyl!
EDIT: Sorry for spamming...
Don't apologize, this is the greatest news I've heard all day!

I listened to a little of that Axiom Verge soundtrack and that should be a good buy.
I would imagine details on the Streets of Rage 2 reprint are sparse, but if they restock at the same places, which was the best/cheapest option for US?

Mondo would be the cheapest for USA due to shipping cost.

I spent about $400 today, yikes.
This should cover me for a while (and there's two video game related 12"s in there, so I'm not completely off-topic).
Gear:
Audio Technica AT-LP60 Fully Automatic Stereo Turntable System, Silver
Mackie CR4 LTD Limited Edition 4" Creative Reference Multimedia Monitors
^ (if anybody can hit me up on the speakers, hoping I made a good choice).
Media:
Rolling Stones - Beggars Banquet
Nine Inch Nails - Ghosts
Bis - Return to Central
Bis - Data Panik Etcetera
Johnny Cash - American VI: Ain't no Grave
Fluke - Atom Bomb
Sasha - Xpander
I have two milk crates full of 1998-2003 trance, mostly singles, obvs, but there are a few albums in there.
I look forward to being a part of this thread (and getting mad at what I end up spending by subbing to it).

I wrote Jeroen and he says he gave permission for the 7"
good stuff. Too bad they charge full shippings costs of each 7" so there is no point in combining an order with the other releases :/
welcome to a great and otherwise expensive hobby!
I've been following this thread for a while but not posted anything, so I figured It's about time I contribute.
My Game OST collection so far:
M.O.O.N. EPs (Hotline Miami)
Hohokum
Blood Dragon
Persona 4 Arena
Scott Pilgrim The Game
Halo Anniversary
Metal Gear Rising
For my audio gear, I'm using a Project Debut 2 (which makes a really nice budget turntable), hooked up to an Onkyo TX-NR626 surround receiver.
Using B&W DM601 S3 L + R speakers, B&W LCR600 S3 center, and Wharfdale Diamond 9.0's as surrounds.
This set up works great for both games and music. Bought the B&W's recently and they sound great.
I'd love some of the stuff Iam8bit is producing, but I'm in the UK and the shipping and potential import tax is putting me off. Same goes for the Mother 2 Vinyl, but I think I may jump on that because it looks fantastic. Starcraft 2 OST is also on my wishlist.

Vinyl is great. I love the ritual of it as a whole.
Splatterhouse 2, please.
The pressing plant would have labelled them on each box.
As they (the label) want to discourage scalpers it'd make sense for the 'ltd' one to be less obvious or only known when opened.

Nice catch. I do want that (though i'll have to scour discogs).
Nice turntable. I'll be picking up a new one later in the year. It'll be a Project for sure.
This Amazon seller is selling the Starcraft 2 OST for $40: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008XCW5RI/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Not exactly cheap and might still be subject to import tax, but it's the only place I've seen it for sale so far.
EDIT: This eBay seller might actually be a little cheaper: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Starcraft-I...lizzard-NEW-/331662319717?hash=item4d389d6065
He wasn't around last I looked at this.
I'd seen the one on Amazon but hadn't noticed the ebay seller. Thanks!

not really the original soundtrack though, just the jukebox tracks?
True - the score has never been released on vinyl, it's the jukebox tracks from the Hyperion cantina.

Can't wait for the Super Hang On one.
Buying both anyways, I need to stay on track with the series.

Way behind everyone else, but I finally got mine:
They both look and sound absolutely fantastic. Not a big Shenmue guy, but really enjoyed the music. And, of course, SoR is a great soundtrack. But, that was expected.

Right now I only have Red Dead Redemption, GTA V, and Bioshock 2.
I'd love that Shenmue Vinyl!
Is it a product that's easily available, or is it an LE?
Is there a site that specializes in video game Vinyls?
I also wanted that Rareware one they had recently. Can't remember what it was called.
