Still, it would be great if this new CD has all the songs on the two CDs, including all the Infinite Hip Hop Songs.
No, it wouldn't be great, because then my first pressing of the Japanese OST release would (in my mind, at least) lose some of its exclusivity, thereby leaving me with one less material possession capable of validating my existence. : P

You'll still have the purty Chun-Li cover and the names of all the Voice Actors inside the booklet at least. I'm sure in the guide the OST will come in a see through plastic sleeve if anything.
Man, I can't wait for next Wednesday for SF AE! Until then, I picked up Crimson Tears (fun game, haven't gotten far enough into it to fully judge. Capcom didn't make it though, they're just distributing.)and I'm getting Viewtiful Joe for PS2 tommorow if it's out.

That's why you need to make your car into a rolling shrine to Sodom. I can pretty much guarantee you'll be the only kid on your block with one of those.
Progress on the "Shi no V8-gou"/"DIE JOB DEATH CAR?"/"Sodomobile" project has been slow-going, unfortunately. I finally managed to get a custom grill that fits the hood (mostly fits, anyway), and soon I hope to get the custom bumpers & light kits I've had my eye on. As long as I get it done before my New Year's trip to Japan (when my Camaro-driving Japanese buddy will take me to another Chevy-owners get-together), I'll be happy.

Ran out to EB on my lunch hour yesterday and picked up a copy of the guide. Yep, the CD is packed in a little cardstock sleeve (attached to the spine of the book, just before the back cover) with a little clear-vinyl window exposing the printed side of the CD. They've attempted to make the printed side of the CD look as similar as possible to the Japanese original, right down to the Japanese serial number (CPCA-1028). Minor differences are:
> the monochrome illustration of the game's cast is printed in a lighter selection of greys than on the Japanese CD, which produces some differences in the amount of detail which can be seen on certain characters
> the Japanese CD is silver right up to the spindle-hole, with the cast illustration (and the logo graphic) being printed right up to the spindle-hole as well. the U.S. version is more like a standard CD, with a 1cm border of clear plastic around the spindle-hole. because of this, less of the cast illustration is visible on the U.S. CD (since the image is not printed on the central clear plastic area, there's "a bigger bit taken out of the pic" than with that incurred by the spindle-hole alone on the Japanese original)
> because of the smaller printing area (again, due to the clear plastic border around the spindle-hole), the game's logo graphic had to be reduced in size before being printed on the U.S. CD
> the copyright date on the Japanese original was 1999 -- on the U.S. CD it's 1999-2004
> the Japanese CD was marked "made in Japan" -- the U.S. CD naturally says "made in USA"
As far as content goes, the U.S. CD does not appear to contain the bonus CD-Single tracks (hurray, my existence is still validated -- by my collection, at least). The U.S. CD has the same track count and running time as the Japanese CD. I was only able to listen to half the U.S. CD before leaving for work this morning, but I imagine that the above statement will hold up when I get home and have the chance to finish listening to the disc.
