Deus Ex 'Augmented Edition' Blu-ray soundtrack issue solution in 'final stages'

@Kibbles XIII

Yes, Steam works via mounting a virtual drive across the internet to your PC in order for you to run your games. As it turns out, this drive is also only a DVD drive, not a Bluray, sorry.

@Kibbles XIII

I got the steam version and downloaded the augmentation bonus. The soundtrack was in a compressed file in .WAV format. I ended up converting them to .aac files.

The soundtrack is amazing btw. It was worth the price difference alone for the augmentated edition.

@GuardianLegend2

i've never noticed the camera shaking. the character animations, however...

@JoRo1986

They probably just send an order to the factory saying "We want these audio tracks pressed to disc, it's for the PS3 version of a game." They assume PS3=Bluray, and that's how it happens.

Besides, why even load them to a DVD, what's wrong with CDs for audio? Unless you're listening to them on a theater system.

@beano311

The DVD/Blu-Ray in question generally contains the 'making of' video and so forth. It's a video DVD, not DVD Audio, which nobody uses anymore anyway.

They don't put the soundtrack on a CD because they don't want to pay for an extra disc and the extra packaging that would come with it.

@radda
Yeah, they sure dodged that extra cost bullet...

@beano311 or what they should of done is arrange for a program that you can download to the ps3 much simular to the soundtracks that ws offered with infamous 2 hero edition, killzone 3 hellgast edition etc...
which when run it installs the mp3 files to the music folder

@beano311 Who's theater system isn't connected to a PC or media server nowadays anyhow.. Heck, I don't want ANY physical media, Especially since if you have the PC version media, all it does is connect to Steam to download the files anyhow. (Wut? Yes....!)

@GuardianLegend2

That's such a "Capcom" answer.

@GuardianLegend2 That can't be true. My copy of Catherine for PS3 came with a soundtrack CD

@deadlymayhem yea its just a usa or north america issue

@GErvy

1) while i don't have a personal moral qualms about that, i think it's still technically illegal.

2) with torrenting, you're downloading and uploading at the same time, so that counts as redistributing.

@maveric101

Actually, according to law, if you purchase the soundtrack in any format, you're legally allowed copy the media file as many times as you want for archiving, as long as of all your copies (digital or physical) only 1 copy is utilized at any given time and not distributed or shared.

So, if you purchased the soundtrack, it arrived in an unusable format, so you decided to download it, as long as you're not giving that disc to someone else, or playing the disc while playing the digital format elsewhere, you're completely in your rights, no matter what the publisher decided to print on their jewel-case of liner notes (what they write is not law).

As for torrents, you can stop uploading while you're downloading. It's just options within the client's settings. Not that anyone worries about such things.

As to other comments.... the full soundtrack that I have is 12 songs deep. So I'd consider it a full soundtrack album. (and quite good as far as moody game music goes).

@GErvy Where do you live? In Canada, what you're saying about archiving for personal use is true, but only because of the levy imposed on CD-Rs, MP3 players, etc. is, in theory, supposed to go to music companies. IIRC, the US doesn't have such a levy, so music companies there get a bit more antsy about it.
