With the KOFXIII pre-order soundtrack bonus in mind, Thegamefanatics.com takes a look at 10 Video Game Soundtracks That They would like to see as a pre-order bonus
Though I'm not sure what the author is really asking for (NA published release of OSTs or a franchise OST collection to this point and also release it in NA)
The Castlevania one is right here (of course from Japan)

All the up until Judgement. Including the spin offs, remakes, and a arranges. I will get this one day, even if it is sold out I will hunt it down! Breath of Fire, Seiken Densetsu and the SaGa series have also had a complete OST collection (at least up to the point when they were released, but all of those games haven't had a new game in a long time)
Though MGS had a 20th Anniversary Collection (Japan) it was just a single CD release with iconic songs from the series. Oh I wish someday they would release OSTs in the US
As far as I'm concerned, SotN still has the best soundtrack of any game I've ever played.
I was aiming for a franchise OST collection with a NA release, was what I had in mind. I probably should have thought of making that clear when I wrote this.
Although I had no clue the Castlevania one was released, (quite the impressive bundle there). I was realizing that KOF XIII couldn't have been the first series to give away OST's (in fact the first blaz-blue game had an awesome soundtrack cd bonus that came with it), to me it was just a very impressive pre-order bonus for a series that it is 16 years old. So it didn't seem like a bad idea to compile a list of games I'd like to see do something similar.
Also any excuse to listen to video game music is never a bad one. Thanks for the feedback.
Atlus has just announced that The King of Fighters XIII will be coming to the PS3 and Xbox 360 on October 25th. The game boasts a roster of over 30 characters to choose from with many improvements to the gameplay. Mai is actually in this game. For whatever reason, she just wasn’t in King of Fighters XII despite being popular.
Can't wait to play this game. Too bad my PS3 slim died yesterday after only 2 years... Now I have to wait until next month to probably buy another cus I really want to play inFamous 2 and the Uncharted 3 beta. =/
its a waist of money. If anything invest in sequels; demon souls, and 3d dot hero!
KOF XIII is already better than ultimate fail Marvel vs crapcom 3.
Looking forward to this.
Terry Bogard for the win ya'll. Too bad Vanessa isnt in the game :(
Where is Rock Howard? Hes my favorite character..havent played him since SNK vs Capcom 2.
No Thanks, looks like KOF 12
