Fake EarthBound Soundtracks

GOSHNABIT Why are all these people trying to cash in on ower beloved game? It makes me sick! 🙁

If anyone wants anything in MOTHER/EB music form, just let me know. Don’t spend your money on these idiots… If the album can be purchased anywhere, I can tell you where. If not, then I can share it with ya’. 🙂

It’s really disappointing to see the number of bootlegs out there recently 🙁

Now I’m sad.

This people are scam artists, that’s for sure. I’m not the sort to blame the victim in this situation either.

However, I see one bright spot in all this. Earthbound in particular seems to be singled out for these scams, and that can only be because the fan base for this game is large enough for them to “justify” it (well I suppose it could also be an odd delusion spreading among scammers). It’s the sort of thing that might suggest to Nintendo that releasing a Mother collection in the US could be a good idea.

The listing ended,nobody bought it,and it was apparently from some anime thing that happened in 2000. Still,it’s nice to have a soundtrack to listen too,offical or not.

I don’t know how many of you are familiar with the Japanese chain, Book Off. They specialize in used books, DVD’s and CD’s. They have a location in Vancouver, BC.

I bought a few things from there, and the condition of their items is amazing. Like new! I think you’re better off buying from Book Off if you want to save a few bucks on imports, like the Mother 1+2 soundtrack, etc.

Is it legal to download the Mother series music on Starmen?

Well I happen to own Earthbound, meaning I already own the sound track for that game. Downloading it from there is just easier than manually ripping all the music from the game via RCA jack connected to my computer (and playing the entire game just to get each track). Can’t say anything about the other two games… I just downloaded a few of my favorite songs from Earthbound and left the rest.

Say hello to the very man who bought that CD. I knew it was bogus going into it, I didn’t mind. I saw it, said “Sure. Why not?” and pounced on it.

The sound quality is tremendous on it. All 138 tracks are there, as advertised.

The booklet/insert/back cover of the CD is fine, but it’s very clearly just stapled together computer paper. Same goes for the CD labels themselves. The contents of the book are fine and actually kind of cool but I’d be lying if I said it couldn’t have been better quality.

It’s not trying to pass itself off as an official Nintendo product in any way, shape, form or fashion. The book tells a story of the trials of making the set. It’s just a fan-made compilation

I have zero regrets buying the thing. I’m having fun with it. Sounds great, could look better but no big deal. All in all I’m A-OK with it.

Take it easy, everybody–

But KingEnigma, you could have gotten it for free 🙁 And by supporting someone who charges $70 for something that people can get for free, you gave them a damn good reason to continue trying to sell more copies. I guess I could understand charging $5-10 to cover the cost of creating the packaging, but $70 is outrageous.

I get that you’re okay with what you’ve done, but I don’t think I will understand why, no matter what reason you give.

It looks like someone put a decent amount of work into that, still!

Thanks for the heads up, Mato.

Where can I get this CD set for free?

It’s bad that it is fake.

@KingEnigma
I feel there is nothing wrong with buying it. As you stated it is a nice object. The problem is they try to pass it off as the real thing 🙁 Now if the seller had stated it was home made then perhapse I would buy it.

I still feel a tiny bit bad for accidentally tricking Tekno into buying that soundtrack for 50 bux. I was like “LOL TEK LOOK AT THIS SOUNDTRACK I made an offer for 1 buck” and he was like “WOAH AWESOME GONNA BUY IT” and he didn’t know it was fake until it was too late XD

What’s the deal with this stuff? I’ve been seeing a lot of this BS merchandise on eBay. Get a life people, it’s so obviously fake.

@KingEnigma: You’re insane. The disc probably just has the mp3 files from Starmen.net dumped onto it. 😐

Insane? No doubt! lol–

Hey, Mato, hate to go off topic, but I saw a custom earthbound poster of a Starman on eBay. ($9.80)

Any thoughts?

If someone wants it, then that’s okay I guess. I see people selling custom stuff all the time, like handmade plushes and such. I mostly just don’t like it when people rip people off and/or sell stuff that they basically just pirated.

Ditto on what you said KE. I bought the CD for $80 and I do not regret it one bit. The audio is astounding and it’s neat finally having a complete EB OST. I feel that the reviewer in the video is way too harsh on the quality..it was obviously made with a lot of love and care.
