I like to think I'm very sensible when it comes to my shopping habits. The only game-related doodads I'd typically ever spend an exorbitant amount of wampums on are Mega Man-related. However, I'm also a sucker for big-ass music collections, such as the 19-disc behemoth that was the Akumajo Dracula Best Music Collection Box (which I will own the day my last ounce of fiscal responsibility leaves me).
In May, Capcom will be releasing Biohazard Sound Chronicle II, a limited-run six-CD collection featuring music from Resident Evil games released after 2005. It contains music from Umbrella Chronicles, The Darkside Chronicles, Resident Evil 5, and the upcoming 3DS game (I'm assuming Revelations).
The box set is follow-up to a 2005 collection that will also be reissued, and that one contains tracks from all mainline REs up to 4 including Code Veronica and 0. The sets will cost 8190 yen (~$97) each, which is actually a good bargain once you get over the hurdle of paying such an obscene sum upfront.
Unfortunately, there is a downside: only the Chronicles games have their full OSTs represented. The rest are "best of" selections, so some tracks are left on the cutting room floor. Still, wouldn't one of these boxes be a lovely conversation piece? Or am I the only nutjob here who's seriously considering these?

Id guess yes. While every once and a while a cool RE song pops up (Code Veronica Alexia theme, RE2 and 4's Saverooms) most of it is silence, with some moody atmosphere. definite pass.

seriously i crapped my pants whenever i heard this...
First Biohazard sound chronicles were the most important stuff. And, unfortunately, it didn't even contain the original RE soundtrack which i'd take instead of RE4 one any day:(

As for this collection - I can't remember any of the RE music at all, so I'd certainly give it a pass. Great games and I'm sure the music suits the on-screen action fine... but without the on-screen action, I doubt I'd listen to the soundtrack.
Worthless Box is Worthless.
Also, I already have the Japanese releases of the RE1-Veronica soundtracks. So, eh. It's a nice idea but I'm a gigantic RE nerd and even I wouldn't bother with it. Resident Evil isn't a series where you're going to want to sit down and listen to a choice selection of background music and the newer games in particular have had absolutely nothing memorable going on int he osund department.
RE1 had a lot of great music in the mansion. Like this, for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIT3DzELCsg
RE0 had several cool tracks. What i do not understand is, why there was no re-release of Outbreak soundtrack. Sure, it wasn't the greatest as a whole, but what about the most haunting and beautiful video game intro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sb_buz-Gags ?
Best and least fitting end credits music ever.
will probably buy this on a far future, would love to have Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid Complete OST Collection instead :P
