A lot of people love the music in games while they are playing them, but how many game soundtracks have you started listening to outside of the game? 
 
For me, it's Persona 3 and 4. I think these games have amazing soundtracks and I have a playlist on my iTunes devoted specifically to their songs.

I listen to certain songs from the Persona 3 soundtrack but only once in a while, because I don't want to get tired of listening to it.
 
Usually I'll listen to the songs Gamesradar posts on their game music of the day articles.

The OST from Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2. 
 
I tried looking for the OST for SSFIV but with no avail.

The Persona soundtracks, the Ocarina of Time and the Majoras Mask soundtracks, the Dissidia and Crisis Core soundtracks, and the Katamari soundtracks are the only ones i can think of off the top of my head.

Do orchestral versions count? Because I listen to an orchestral version of the Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross soundtracks as well as orchestral and jazz versions of the Phoenix Wright soundtracks.

Starcraft Terran themes, Diablo II (Tristram, Rogue Encampment), Super Mario RPG (Seaside Town, Beware the Mushroom Forest). Not that those three games are all I listen to. In fact, lately all I've done is listen to videogame music. 
 
Hell, I have every musical cue from Earthbound, and I listen to every single one.

I find that most game soundtrack lose a bit of punch out-of-context, especially action oriented games. I think Dragon Age: Origins' soundtrack worked well outside of the game though. I used to listen a lot to the music from Suikoden and Suikoden II also.  But generally I don't listen much to music from games without actually playing the games. Just like I don't really listen to movie soundtracks either.

I've listened to more video game OSTs than I can list here but my most listened to soundtracks are definitely the Halo ones. I've also listened to the Mario, Mass Effect, World of Warcraft, Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2 and Legend of Zelda soundtracks quite a lot.

I do have the P4 soundtrack disk from the game but I don't listen to it much. 
 
FFX however has one of the greatest soundtracks for listening to outside of game. Listening to Besaid Island can calm me down no matter what :). 
 
For anyone who really likes game soundtracks go to youtube and look up a user named SilvaGunner, his entire account is just video game OST's and he's got TONS of them.

Blizzard soundtracks (Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo) and Mega Man X when I'm writing or browsing the internet. 
Anamanaguchi's Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game soundtrack in the car usually.

Persona 3, Ocarina of Time, and The World Ends With You are maybe my top soundtracks. I also enjoy stuff from Rare, like the Donkey Kong Country soundtrack.

I really liked Silent Hill 2's soundtrack. Lots of heavy chains and metal banging that I thought sounded interesting in music.

I have a bunch of CDs in my car.  Regular music, and all. 
 
But one of them has the Warcraft 2 hidden track "I'm a Medieval Man". I jam that loud every now and then.

I listen to a lot of metal and rock covers (Powerglove, Year 200X, Entertainment System, Metroid Metal, the list goes on) but the most intriguing thing I've found is Team Teamwork's Ocarina of Rhyme, mashups using the Ocarina of Time soundtrack. They mix it with artists like Clipse, Dr. Dre, Busta Rhymes, Aesop Rock. It never gets old.

Bionic Commando Rearmed, Dark Void Zero, Persona 4, Total Annihilation, Morrowind/Oblivion (mainly a couple of atmosphere tracks and the title music from both), Dark Reign: Rise of the Shadowhand (or what the expansion was called), Descent 2/Vertigo, Unreal/Unreal Tournament (1999), Gloom, 7th Legion and Quake (1). Those are the ones that most frequently appear on my MP3 player. Not THAT frequently, but maybe once every 3 months or so.

I love the Mr. Driller Drill Land soundtrack so much. I've never actually played the game (or any of the Mr. Driller games for that matter), but I've listened to the soundtrack dozens of times.

Like 90 percent of the music I listen to ANYWHERE is video game related.
