Rez Infinite - 2 Records + 7 inch - $75
HLD - 4 Records - $75
Persona 5 Essential - 4 Records - $100
Persona 5 Deluxe - 6 Records - $175
I'm trying to do this math but I can't figure it out
How did we get to this point
Rez Infinite - 2 Records + 7 inch - $75

I think so for sure, was just being a little acerbic.But doesn't that make this worse?

These aren't record prices though- this is like some serious next level Hot Topic ten dollar air freshener that smells like beef jerky shit.
I never actually worked at iam8bit. People started complaining to them on Twitter about how they get really behind schedule and they said it wouldn't be a problem in 2018 anymore because they got rid of their bad employee. I'll see if I can find the tweets
edit:
I'd be down with that. Or some variation of fuck iam8bitIn a nod to iam8bit and the Mario Kart Deluxe thread, the next Game Soundtrack thread needs the title "Game soundtracks on vinyl [OT2] Extreme Salt"
Ordered the six LP pack, cos I'm a fucking mug
I hope iam8bit doesn't get access to Nier: Automata.
10 LP TRUE FAN EDITION FOR TRUE FANS: $300
If I had artwork, even if it were a sketch design or a mock up of what they wanted to do it would be so much easier to justify the cost.
The thing about iam8bit is sure their prices are expensive, but I wouldn't care nearly as much if they didn't feel like such quick cash grabs. They're essentially crowdfunding the release. Taking preorders to pay for the product before it's made.
That's how I feel about everything they do. Quick cash grabs because video game fans want to buy vinyl, it's the hot thing.
The one thing I love about Mondo is how they have the records and artwork pretty much finalized, even for albums that are put up months in advance. There is none of this mystery bullshit for $100+ box sets.
Yep! Also, Mondo is NOT cheap. At best, they're price parity with other niche vinyl manufacturers. The thing is, they don't delay and they open preorders when the stuff is at their warehouse.
The Last of Us 4xlp box set from Mondo was only $100.
iam8bit tweeting at everyone who's giving them shit that "we have an extremely special surprise that we will reveal sometime in the future!" is pretty funny

$75 actually
$75 actually
I gave in and pre-ordered the $100 "Essential" collection. If the track list sucks (like doesn't have Layer Cake), I'll cancel it.
But it makes me wonder why the supposed "unessential" songs are another $75.
Make sure you apprise yourself of their refund/cancellation policy.

All together now:
Fuck Iam8bit.
Yeah, Mondo is not cheap but they're known for high quality and you pay a little extra for that, artwork and all.
iam8bit just screams cheap and rushed. the price doesn't equal the reputation.
$175 for Persona 5?
For 6 LPs?
Are you fucking kidding me??? I feel bad asking for $25 for selling a double LP. This is robbery.
You're not a mug. I almost paid 100+ for an out of print Notorious BIG album. If you have the money and like the music, that's why it's made.Ordered the six LP pack, cos I'm a fucking mug
They keep saying there will be add ons and extras in it to justify the price. I mean there's nothing there that can justify these prices but I'm curious to see what they throw in.
Which Biggie album is that, just curiousYou're not a mug. I almost paid 100+ for an out of print Notorious BIG album.
BWAHAHA AHSDA AHAHAQ AHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAHAHA.
