Game Groups > Physical Bonus Content: Soundtrack

Games which include physical soundtrack (CD, DVD, cassette, etc.) as a part of the package, not as a bonus due to pre-order or purchase from some place.

Games which SHOULD be added to this group:

• if the game has mention of the included soundtrack on the box cover (commonly found on Collector's Edition and Special Edition releases which list bonus included content)
• if there is a clear place for the soundtrack inside the actual package (i.e. game with jewel case or keep case has a slot for the soundtrack as well), this is more common for regular releases which include the soundtrack, but don't mention it on the cover
• if one of the above applies to at least one release (i.e. some countries may include soundtrack, others may not, that is acceptable, same thing may apply to launch releases and re-releases where one may include the soundtrack and the other no longer include it)
• soundtrack may be on any sort of media (CD, DVD, cassette, USB stick, etc.), and it doesn't matter if it is recorded as an audio track (i.e. CD), if it has to be accessed as a data type via computer in order to listen (i.e. on a bonus CD, but saved as MP3 or FLAC or OGG, etc.), or if it is integrated in its own player (i.e. bonus content features a player for the soundtrack)

Games which SHOULD NOT be added to this group:

• digital games with digital soundtracks
• unofficial soundtracks which have ripped in-game tracks presented as a soundtrack, even if it's on a physical media
• if the soundtracks are integrated as a part of the game (can be accessed from the game's main menu, etc.), that does not fall under this category

Valid soundtrack examples:

Soundtracks with their own packages (jewel case, sleeve, etc.)

Soundtracks included in the same case as the game discs (jewel case, digipak, etc.)

Soundtracks on CD, DVD, blu-ray, in MP3, OGG, etc. formats, need to be listened on a computer

Soundtracks with their own visual players
