Well, that's too bad. I once won an auction of the Guilty Gear X 4 minutes anime DVD for about 40 bucks or so. Do you know what was my face like, when I bought Guilty Gear X2 PS2 game, and found that the same video comes as an extra in the gallery mode, with the same DVD quality?
Do you also own the arranged albums? If you don't, you'll have to buy them appart. It seems that this Memorial Box only contains the OST albums.
Do you know K.O.F. Dance Trax album (PCCB-00233)? I haven't seen it in stores neither in auctions. It's a remix album of KOF tunes, it may be all crap, but I'd like to listen to it. I'm also interested in Neo Geo DJ Station albums.

The Dance Trax weren't crap, it's just that ... well, only half of it was KOF mixes, and the rest were either "inspired" by KOF or used a 1/3rd-of-a-second sound sample from the original song. Track one "Afro-Culture" sounds nothing like anything KOF-related ... ever, although I'm told it's "supposed" to be a remix of "Fairy". Track 2 is a kewl dance remix of Arashi no Saxaphone 2 titled "Aquamarine". Track 3 is a l33t mix of the original Esaka entitled "E-Groove". Track 4 ("Trip Bass") is Mr.Big's "Dust Man" mixed with Japanese rap, blegh. "Movin'", track 5, is a high-speed 80's-ish techno piece that starts out completely original, moves to Rugal's "Ketchaku R&D" and then morphs into Goenitz's "Trash Head". Track 6 is Rugal's '95 theme, which I've forgotten the name of, but it's a pretty good mix. I was really surprised by track 7, "9th and Divided". The rap isn't anything to write home about but it's easily the best rendition of "Slum No.5" I've heard. Track 8 "Happy" is a "dirty" d&b mix of one of the ending themes from '94 or '95. Track 9 "Moon Wolf" is like track 1, no recognizable theme but it borrows instrument samples from "Club M ~ Aozora no Flute" and the KOF'96 version of "Big Shot!". Track 10 "Stormy Black" is a complete mystery to me. Shoot me an email if you'd like to hear (some of) the (better) tracks (adamdiab@earthlink.net).
Regarding the DJ Station discs ... I only own 1 of them, "Neo-Geo DJ Station Live '98", but from what I can tell it was a yearly or semi-yearly event where the voice actors got together with ShinSekaiGakkyoku Gatzugidan and put on a big concert for fans, including LOTS of drama tracks and a few travesties like "Heavy Babies". They do however play a few kickass versions of character themes, my fave was probably the 10-minute live set of Blue Mary's Blues.

Yeah, I have most of the stuff in my computer, but I want to buy them too. I've seen in front of me the SM bootlegs too many times, but I was strong enough for waiting and getting the real thing. Now I'm happy that I did this!
Do you think that if this Memorial Box is a success, they may release another one with the arranged albums? Maybe it's better to wait and in the meanwhile getting other albums like KOF Kyo, Symphonic Trax, etc.
Shindekudasai, many thanks for your review on KOF Dance Trax! It sounds very promising. I'll mail you later, when I get back to home.

Sugoi!! These drama stuff seems to be pretty fun! Do you know if there is any site with the scripts of these dramas and from other SNK albums like the SNK Sound Series?
