    I'm talking downloading/purchasing a soundtrack and listening to it on your iPod or in windows media player, maybe even a different game! 
    So what are your thoughts on this? 
    Do you like to listen to any soundtracks in particular? 
     
    If a sound track is great, I often listen to a couple of my faves in everyday life, and I love listening to ambient stuff.. like some of the tracks from Half-life 2 are cool, and some creepy to listen to..  
     
    I also love it when a game comes packaged with its soundtrack, and I love the fact that if you buy Audiosurf on steam you get the entire orange box soundtrack AND the half life 1 soundtrack in mp3 format to use in-game or to listen to elsewhere, i wish this was a more frequent occurrence.

    I have well over a thousand songs from video game soundtracks on iTunes. 
     
     
    So yes.

     Yea, ost is what I listen to most, Nier's ost is pretty good and I didn't play the game nor planned to. I listen to the Silent Hill osts and songs, but I haven't played Homecoming and Origin. 
     
    Nowadays I'm more excited at good osts more than the actual games itself. I can't wait to listen to all the ffxiv tracks but I'm at the moment not enjoying the game, I'm not planning to play Castlevania but I really enjoy the music from the trailers, so I'm planning to listen to that as well, I'm not sure if Shadows of the damned will be good, but I know the ost will be.

    I love listening to game soundtracks. Castlevania: LoS is my current favorite. The soundtrack to Elemental: War of Magic isn't half bad, and I still love listening to the tracks from Wrath of the Lich King.  
     
    Other soundtracks I enjoy: 
     
    Ago of Conan 
    Baldur's Gate 
    Dragon Age 
    Mass Effect 2 
    Starcraft 2 
    Diablo 2 
     
    and probably a ton I'm forgetting.

    Yeah, sure I listen to video game soundtracks. Not very often though. Stuff I've been listening to is from games like MGS, ME1, ME2, just as a couple of examples.

    All the time. Sometimes you just want some music that isn't on the Radio 24/7 :)

    Yes. For example, recently I've been listening a lot to Flower's soundtrack. Whatever you think of that game, the soundtrack is outstanding.

    Sure. The Ocarina of Time soundtrack is one of my favorite's. I also enjoy Street Fighter Theme songs; even know a few of them on guitar like Guile's and Ken's.

    Just NES stuff.  The composition they had to do get around the limitations of that thing and have it make any musical sense is crazy.  I think it was like 3 or 4 monophonic voices. 
     
    I challenge someone to convince me there is more "metal" music in the world than the Castlevania 3 sound track.

    I just signed up for an Itunes account (I so prefer to buy my music on an actual disc, but not everything can be gotten that way anymore) and bought the Starcraft I and II soundtracks last Friday. 
     
    Other than that I have soundtracks from: 
     
    Echos of War (The re-recorded Blizzard cd compilation with music from Diablo, Warcraft and Starcraft) 
    Ice Wind Dale 
    The Witcher 
    The Total War series (The cd that came with the Total War Eras package 
    Europa Universalis III (actually already had the game, but when I found it, the Collectors Edition with the cd was like 15$ so I re-bought the game just for that) 
     
    Also, although I don't own the game, this track had me going for a while  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkzZ3XJ2hlQ (From Blood Bowl)

    I listen to a lot of video game soundtracks. They are good background music for writing. ^_^
