Square Enix on iTunes: temporarily offline photo

Having trouble getting a hold of your favorite Square Enix soundtracks via iTunes lately?  That's because their entire catalog of music (which had been quite extensive) recently disappeared from the international iTunes store.  We've been receiving many questions as to why this occurred; many thought it may have had to do with the new iTunes Match service launch, but we've gone ahead and asked Square Enix for an official statement on the matter, which reads as follows:

"Currently, official Square Enix soundtracks are temporarily unavailable for sale due to the changes we are going through with the iTunes North American service.  The items will be available as soon as the preparations are in place. We hope to resume availability of these items by March.”

In the meantime, fans can check out a small selection of physical releases imported directly from Japan but offered at more North America-friendly prices on the Square Enix North America store which is offering the Final Fantasy XIII-2 soundtrack for $34.99 and the original Final Fantasy XIII soundtrack for $29.99.

Do you ever pick up Square Enix music on iTunes, and were you even aware that they were offering physical CDs from Japan at reduced prices?  Do you think they're still too expensive?

Never picked up any digital only albums from Square-Enix. I only have physical media of their products.

Shouldn't this site be down as of now because of the sopa/pipa protest you guys had planned?

or is that happening later?

Like all the other "down" sites, if you have a link to a page, or are following them in an RSS feed, then the pages still work. If you hit ESC on wikipedia pages before the black page comes up, you can view your article.... but that's not the point!


FUCK SOPA!

Yay we're back.

You don't know how important some things are, untill they have gone black to protest against (the possible passing of) a law.

What funran said. I 'Like' Dtoid on Facebook and was using those links to browse Dtoid while it was 'down'. Oh and Cblogs and the forums never went down.

Only terrorists don't 'Like' Dtoid on facebook.

I so love game soundtracks, but so hate the price for importing them. Sometimes I wish I were a pirate. : /

Those are still too expspensive, AND they're not much more or less then getting an imported CD somewhere else, they're not really any different then other importers.

Also, no, I don't have a reason to get these digital from iTunes, I'm sorely not down with Apples products and services. I'd rather have the physical medium and make back ups (only if I need too) any way.

In other news: Holy hell did this thread get spammed hard when no one was looking. And the funny thing is how the spammer failed to do anything more then list lines of code that wouldn't work in D-toids comment boxes lololol.

Lol, reading this spam is actually pretty funny. This one is my favorite:


"Head upwards wind i'm talking about were the actual boat had to come back from and also hope that you're most likely time of saving whoever is at trouble. So i mean what people did they then went ripping across this lake. As long as they saw my own son this individual told them all give me whatever floats As well as save my pops. He is in that position.They says they did never see me personally. Then there one is. He only just went with quick keep my hip and legs. He reached inside water and also touched my own chest and nabbed me, the person said she or he thought in which something out of cash his left arm is had been grabbed for that reason hard. He possessed a african american bruise upon that arm in a week. My son made a timely recovery"
