Do you guys think this game soundtrack collection is bootleg? He has others which I was kind of interested in but they look really bootleg. What do you guys think? I contacted him and he said they were from japan but that doesn't mean they aren't bootleg.

They look a little dodgy to me. I'm not an expert but it seems that all the collections look remarkably similar and a bit rubbishy to be honest. Maybe you should ask for photos of the discs and/or more photos of the packaging from different angles - the front shots don't show a lot that's for sure... :)

yeah I asked him for more pics and info when I first emailed him and he tottaly dodged my questions, all he stated was that they were from Japan.

Hmmm. Dodgy...
I just had a look around the 'net for more info but the only things Google threw up was this guys auctions!
They're bootlegs, sorry dude.

Yeah I got the same results when I searched. Though it would be convienant to buy all those castlevania discs together I think it would be too much to spend on a bootleg.

If it's all one collection, it's a bootleg, if it's each CD seperate but all in one auction it's probably legitimate, as those are all official releases.
Note he says the CD pics are "representative" of what's in the collection. Bootleg for sure, and probably a cheap CD-R collection, if the cover in the main pic is representative of the quality of work behind the set.

really sucks because I have seen people buying these from him for 60-80 bones. I am sure it cost the guy like 10 bones if that to make. Sucks that some people take advantage of others.

I've seen many soundtracks like this for multiple games, I honestly don't know what to think.

Yeah, that seller is selling a lot of bootleg crap. I questioned them about their Castlevania "Gold" collection, and got no response about it being genuine. Looking at their other items, it seems obvious nothing is for real.

Very seldom do real dvd covers have sharp edged corners. They round the corners to make the paper slide into the case without catching. For this, and the fact that it looks as if it were printed on my inkjet printer, i call bogus.
