Still Alive Album Gets Price Cut

I can't believe they're trying to sell me the music for a game which I already paid $50 for and which I could just extract the music from easily. They should be glad if I even listen to the music outside the game.

@thenino85:

Don't matter. It's probably against the EULA you agree to when you installed the game. The engine isn't a proper metaphor. You're dealing with physical objects of you which you own. You did not pay to own the Orange Box and all it's content, you're only 'renting' the game for use on your PC.

I ripped the music from the game too though.

...

I just ripped the music directly from the game, a game I legally bought. Does that make me a pirate?

I fail to see why that's different from, say, taking the engine from one car I own and putting it into THE BEST GO KART EVER. I'm not remanufacturing engines for profit or anything; I'm just using what I got in a different format than was originally intended. Only in modern times, I guess.

They should have added the Ballad of Black Mesa as a bonus track..

The "Still Alive" song is excellent and everyone should own a copy, but the Orange Box soundtrack is really not worth anyones time beyond this song

Mass Effect and Halo 3's are a much better value for quality of music.

Not sure I actually want this soundtrack - where the heck is Crawl Yard, Extinction Event Horizon, Nectarium, What Kind of Hospital is This?, and tracks from HL2?

Should I just extract from the GCFs?

Sweet, maybe they haven't updated their site yet. I'll swing by there on the way home from work. I just saved a bunch of money on my gaming by switching to Kotaku!

Wait, I'm confused. "Gone on sale" meaning it is cheaper? or "Gone on sale" meaning it is available? BestBuy.com shows the orange box for Xbox 360 at $59.99 still. I just bought it yesterday but haven't opened it so if it is "on sale" meaning cheaper I'd like to know.

I would snap it up if I couldn't just extract the music from the files of a game which I've already paid good money for.
