Hi gang!

Can't seem to track down any solid data on this.

  • It's rare and highly sought after. Depends on the condition. Assuming like-new and no scratches on the discs, I would say 200+

    If it's scratched or damaged, could easily fall to $50 or less.

    Great soundtrack to a classic game!

    This doesnt really make any sense anymore, as cd resurfacers have gotten to the point where you cant even tell a cd has been resurfaced.

    Totally disagree. I've had a CD resurfaced, and you can totally tell it was buffed. CDs are not the same as DVDs, and even then, I personally think it's not too hard to tell a DVD has been resurfaced.

    That must have been a nonprofessional unit. The expensive units resurafce them perfectly.



     
  • I'd love to have that CD... or at least just the tracks on it
  • Man, I don't normally go for soundtracks, but if I saw that on a shelf I would pick it up for sure! It looks great, and that is surely one of the best N64 soundtracks.
  • CDs are just not popular now. I honestly don't know why people care about vinyl so much, the quality is certainly not any better than CDs, and arguably worse. But anyway, that's what's popular. There was a Perfect Dark limited Vinyl that of course sold out. Again, no better than the CD music wise, but much better art!

    Not looking to debate, but I think this is partially truth and the whole picture is a bit muddier than that.  Real CD quality (if utilized as it was initially intended) is far superior to records.  In such a case, the only reason one should enjoy records rather than CDs is so they can enjoy the pops and hisses of a record, which I admit adds a nice tone to the sound.



    However, the problem is how audio on CD is mixed versus how it's recorded to the record medium as a superior form of audio on an analog form of technology.  HOWEVER, all of that potential benefit is lost when a master from a CD is used to record the LP.  This is what happens almost entirely this day and age with newly released LPs and the benefit of the LP is completely lost due to the fact that the issues that exist with the CD masters are imprinted on the the LPs.



    I'm not an audiophile, per se, but I've often wanted to get into records due to the superior nature of the audio industry today. However, considering that all benefits are usually lost since these are glorified CD-rips, I've never bit the bullet to invest in such a nice record player auido system that I can only use to listen to classic LPs from before 1990.  I like older music, sure, but that's not primarily what I listen to.

    I agree. For me though, it wasn't so much the quality, but the convenience (much easier to just load up a CD), and the space (CD is nice and compact... er, hence "compact disc") as opposed to large, bulky, record! I do agree, the hiss of a record is soothing, and great for horro movies/games!
