Huh, I bid a bit over $300 so I don't believe I qualify for that deal.

A real shame they lost so much money from that promise though.
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

Is there a reason he called it PPPPPP?

Go back and look at the names of the tracks in the game again.

With luck, they won't lose what made the soundtrack great along the way, as so many songs on OCRemix seem to.

I think a better question is, why do all the song names start with "P"? It's a chicken/egg thing.

The answer to both is: because he made them like that.

This from the guy who said the soundtrack would benefit from orchestral arrangements.

Right - orchestral arrangements that pay homage to the soundtrack, not remix them to such an extent that the original track is unrecognizable.

Examples.
You have an abundance tracks like this or this, which just plain don't do the original pieces justice, and tracks like this and this, which have some good bits but contain a lot of tedious padding.  It's not a bad site, but combine the aforementioned categories with the crippling lack of diversity in the games they remix, and I'd say it's not all it's cracked up to be.

Well, if you don't like one ReMix, there's a couple thousand others, and it's not like they're all by the same people. Besides, that's the whole point--just listen to the original if it's so musically delicate.

Except there usually aren't a couple thousand others, since apart from a few [sometimes undeserving] popular tracks and games, there are maybe two or three remixes for a given song, if you're lucky.  Heck, this also applies to how much attention the games themselves get.  Look at the list of most remixed albums for the PS1; Final Fantasy VII has a whopping eighty-seven remixes, with an insane drop off to Xenogears' thirty-six. 

And sometimes the original has the raw notes down but the instruments aren't as good, usually because of the technical limitations of the system its source game was on.  The ending for Super Metroid, for instance - one of my favorite songs of all time, provided the instruments sound more authentic than what you'd find in a SNES game.

What I want to know is why they're so [darn] stubborn about that Super Metroid album being in any format other than the one nobody listens to.

I just wanted to link this nice retrospective as a counterpoint to Turtlekid1's "meh".
