Win An Original Game Soundtrack From Sumthing Digital
Uncharted 2: Among ThievesUpdate: I forgot to mention; I'll be shipping these out to the winners, and I will only ship to the US.
Video game soundtracks have come a long way from music we could've easily emulated on our old electronic keyboards at home.
These days, professional musicians are involved with the composition and production of the excellent music we hear in AAA titles. In fact, it has become increasingly more important with every passing generation, which is one of the reasons why Sumthing Else Music Works (SEMW) has become an "acknowledged industry leader in licensing and distributing video game soundtracks." It's because gamers want such soundtracks. And Sumthing Else has teamed up with many of the world's leading developers (BioWare, Bungie, Sega, Epic, Sony Computer Entertainment, Ubisoft, etc.) to give us great soundtracks from many of your favorite games. They will also temporarily team up with PSXE to hand out three original game soundtracks; they'll give us the prizes and we'll hand 'em out. Here's how to nab one:
User Reviews: The user who submits the most user reviews that are worth reading will receive one of the prizes. Simply enter your User CP and submit a review for a game; we'll approve it and post it up, and then your peers can comment on your work. And to reiterate, if you're going to post 10 reviews at a paragraph apiece, don't bother...those won't count. ;)
Forums:
We will pick out who we deem to be the most productive poster in the forums, and that person will snag one of the soundtracks. Again, like the User Reviews, one-sentence posts won't exactly get our attention. Just be a good contributor; that's all.
Comments:
And lastly, the Comment winner will be the one who posts a lot of quality comments on the main page. There are so many of you who already do, which means this will probably be the most competitive category. Just don't be surprised to see more people showing up to give our best Commenters a run for their money!
And what are you playing for? Three original soundtracks, one each for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, God of War III and inFamous. All three boasted great music and for more info, feel free to check out Sumthing Digital. We'll run this for a couple of weeks; I'm not going to hand out an exact deadline, so just...like, start now. ;)

Highlander has been here a long time, has made a lot of high quality comments. I just don't think he should win. Not because of his comments, or his ability to make us scratch our heads, but because he's just too well known.
No offense Highlander.

My point is, it's not very considerate to go out of our way to NOT thank him for contributing. He should be a quality candidate (among others) due to the fact that he makes this site better without a prize as a motivator.

When you say "quality posts" I certainly hope you're including "knows how to spell" in there.

The soundtracks now a days are pretty amazing. Like you said, back then we could just get a keyboard and play the soundtrack pretty much. But now it's all orchestra and the music sounds beautiful. I have three things that I LOVE. Those three things are Soccer(Futbol), games, and music. I love playing and listening to music, I currently play the saxophone. So I've been listening to songs on game soundtracks online. But I don't have copies of it, I would love to though.
Hopefully that was a quality comment, and thanks for doing this giveaway!

Though I'm never on the forums, since that's too much of a hassle for me, so I don't know who would win that one.
awesome that such a famous studio would contribute to a friendly competition 'round here though.
Good luck to all y'all!

Underdog, you have a surprisingly appropriate name for this, and icydude101 I must agree with the fact that soundtracks have come quite a long way. Fully orchestrated well matched music which really enhances the experience. I would certainly have to say that Uncharted 2 and KZ2 have good soundtracks but would anybody agree that GTAIV might be in the running for some sort of music award? I know that the music isn't exactly innovative it's the amount of music involved (w. the expansion packs especially)the amount of choice involved and the soundtrack for the game and cinematics itself.
