I'd just like to make a note that if you are buying game soundtracks, that the possibilities of them being fake are rather high. Original game soudntracks are not produced in Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Taiwan, etc...
Here are some quick tips to know if you have a fake:
- did the CD cost less than $20 for a single CD OST with about 11-15 songs?
- how good is the quality of the CD case, booklet, cover, back cover, and CD? (materials feel studry? images look crystal clear?)
- on the disc, does it feature and email address? (if so, then thats not good)
- sound quality good?
- is it distributed by Ever Anime, Miya Records, Alion... etc...? (if so, then those are rips)
For more information...

These sites are trusty and reliable with soundtracks. It costs more, but you are getting the real deal. Oh yea, and Anime Castle is the biggest distributor of fakes...
