I appreciate this post because it reminds me that Varese Sarabande has some great hard to get soundtracks. This recent news of digital downloads seems to be very progressive and a little overdue. I love getting stuff in the mail but I also don't mind losing the cost of shipping and getting instant gratification. Now for the part that pisses me off. You go view their soundtrack club and it almost seems like a badge of honor that they have so many soundtracks that are sold out. For instance: Commando, Predator, and Die Hard just to name a few. These have been sold out since last year. I know because I got some myself before they sold out. It is easy to understand a CD being out of print but why aren't these also made for digital distribution? It's like an unseen faucet in the desert to me. It's not like people will scoff at not being able to get the CD and say screw the download. Well maybe a few linear note enthusiasts but why torture people with "sold out" when you can just as easily quench their thirst with a digital version.
