Check out these badass Brutal Legend record sleeves photo

#Best Buy #Brutal Legend #Double Fine #Electronic Arts #PS3 #Xbox 360

Word on the street is that if you preorder Brütal Legend from Best Buy, you can get your dirty hands on this ridiculously awesome record sleeve. Most of you children will be too young to remember the good old days, when music was confined to this thing called vinyl that was the size of a pizza and played music in the way it should be played -- with a persistent and consisting crackling noise and a an irritating skip of the track if someone stamped their feet too hard.

Destructoid reader Mark took some swanky pictures for us and now we're sharing them with you. Check them out and let us know what you think. I must say that, as a man who appreciates a good LP, I'm very tempted to pick this up myself. The sleeves can be used a game case, you know.

Bad. Ass.

So its just the sleeve it doesn't come with an actual vinyl? Either way it looks kool.

Can anyone confirm this is what best buy is doing for their preorder bonus? I will be there later today and if this is true I will definatly be preordering

MrSadistic

I was actually gonna go and pre-order this from Best Buy, but that's really lame if it's just an actual record sleeve with no album. Eh, still looks cool I reckon'.

PappaDukes

I second that pascuz. Where's the fucking vinyl!? Bands still put albums out on vinyl to this very day, and I actually own more records than CDs, so it seems odd that they wouldn't press any of that sweet, sweet vinyl.

I just want a blood stained demonic belt buckle.

Oh wow! My very own bedsheets featured on Destructoid! =D

For anyone wanting to know, I procured this one at a Best Buy in Ft. Collins, Colorado.

@ dead phoenix

I can confirm this. I was browsing in there the other day and spotted it on the store shelves, so I grabbed it along with their preorder bonus for Tekken 6 (a laser art cel and tattoo sleeve). Of course, I already had those preordered at Gamestop for their preorder bonuses, but Best Buy is awesome because you can get your preorders refunded without returning the bonuses. So if you've got it preordered elsewhere, go preorder it for the record sleeve and then get that money refunded when you inevitably get something else this fall like Modern Warfare 2.

Isn't that cheating?

Ohmigod!!!

This will be so god damn epic in my collection!

SOLD! Even without the LP inside.

Seriously, can we have just ONE discussion of vinyl that doesn't devolve into the writer saying 'HURP DURP YOU KIDS ARE TOO YOUNG TO KNOW ABOUT THIS NONSENSE'?

Putthebottledown

haha.. I agree with Danl... How old are you jim?

ChronosWing

@Necros

Exactly my plans, I'm heading there today, can I get my money refunded thought? Or am I forced to put the money on another game?

"Seriously, can we have just ONE discussion of vinyl that doesn't devolve into the writer saying 'HURP DURP YOU KIDS ARE TOO YOUNG TO KNOW ABOUT THIS NONSENSE'?"

Dude, it was a joke. I'm like, one of the youngest writers on staff.

Netrat33

Heh I just noticed the quarter next to it for scale hah. I was just at bestbuy and this is what you pick up to take to get scanned at the front counter. So this is indeed at bestbuy and ready for you to pick up today :D

ToxinBlackheart

That's really awesome, and I'm super stoked for the game. Sadly, I already preordered it at Gamestop long ago. I'd much rather get this vinyl case over a downloadable guitar. :/

Markusdragon

I preferred my preorder bonus; 20% off!

kingtobo

Would be a lot cooler if there were actually some vinyl in there.

GunSlap

!@#!*(@(#!#&!(@#!@*(#&!*(#&!@# WHY DO I NOT HAVE A LOCAL BEST BUY UNTIL SUMMER 2010?!?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

dead phoenix

just got back from my local best buy in the chicago land area. they did not have the preorder nor did they know anything about it :(. hopefully they get it soon cause I want this

Dexter345

Any idea if online pre-orders from Best Buy work for this? I did the buy one, get one half off thing with this game and MW2, and it'd be a nice bonus to get something like this that I wasn't expecting.

nummy6

Must have =).

Vinyl?

Necros

@ Naim Master

Um, technically it is, but I've never really been a fan of giving different preorder bonuses to different stores to satisfy the store owners, so I'm fine with doing what I do in order to get multiple bonuses. The important thing in my mind is that I buy the game for full price instead of waiting for it to drop (or pirating it like some people will). Besides, I highly doubt those bonuses are worth much more than the sentimental value I attach to them.

@ chronoswing

Really depends, but I'm sure Best Buy would be happier (re: less dirty looks or less likely to ask for the preorder bonus back) if you put it towards another game.

Magesx

Wait, I'm a bit confused. Does this actually have a record in it, or is it literally just a sleeve? Because that would be pretty lame. I'd love to see a game soundtrack on vinyl. I mean, they do it with movies.

Infininja

Obligatory "no record inside?" reply.

IncipitOmega

Nostalgic.

SUPER-WEEDGAN

I walked into best buy the other day and they have a vinyl section. Saw a some Priest, Hendrix and Van Halen. Of course they we're all those vintage looking reissue, but it's still cool. As long as they master the record for a vinyl instead of just mastering it like a CD then it should be just like the real thing.

I've heard people say it alot and I'm starting to sort of agree that vinyl is making an underground comeback. And newer bands like LoG and Mastodon putting out there new albums on vinyl along with a CD copy is a great idea and is for sure worth $25.

DEATH TO ALL FALSE METAL!
