Guild Wars 2

I was quite happy when I saw on the official Twitter that iam8bit.com would be selling the HoT digital and vinyl soundtrack but after checking at their store (both US and EU) it appears that the digital soundtrack is only an exclusive bonus that comes from purchasing the vinyl LP (whaaaaaat???).

It’s a shame as the soundtrack listed on their product page appears to be much more complete to the one currently available on SoundCloud (which cannot be downloaded by the way).

Is there any chance that the digital soundtrack (or even an audio-CD?) might be sold separately in the future? May be on a regular music store platform? Please…

Please do not make this another DirectSong fiasco :’(

I remember an Amazon digital download and SOON on iTunes.
Cant find the link tho

EDIT amazon

Maybe I’ll get an answer here from a dev (had thought about making a separate thread instead).

How much does Anet get from these on Amazon? Do they get the whole thing (in the case of the MP3 ‘album’?

they surely get a percentage, if i’m not wrong Amazon charges something around 25% but i’m not sure

EDIT i meant Amazon will keep 25% of the sell velue

Great it’s also available on Amazon. To the batmobile… err… to Amazon!

I’m a bit miffed about it, actually. I don’t have a record player, nor anywhere to put one, nor any interest in dealing with one. I grew up with them and it was a royal pain to avoid scratching the LPs.

But this product doesn’t come on a CD, just on MP3? Which I also don’t deal with so well. Presumably I could burn my own disk from the MP3s but then it wouldn’t have a nice artistic label or dedicated jewel case.

So I dunno if I’ll be buying this, much as I love the music.
