Halo Trilogy 5-disc soundtrack set to be released tomorrow

Halo fans may have another item to add to their holiday wishlist – the Halo Trilogy – The Complete Original Soundtracks boxed set. Sumthing Else Music Works’ has just announced that the five disc release, which also comes with four tracks from Halo Wars will be available both in stores and for download on December 2, 2008. Amazon‘s currently listing the set for $26.99. If you search for Halo at Sumthing Digital, the Halo soundtracks are $9.99 each, so the boxed set ends up being a pretty good deal.

The Halo Wars special DVD that’s included with this set may be the most appealing to fans. It not only has four unspecified tracks from the forthcoming Xbox 360 real-time strategy game set in the Halo universe, but it also shows the recording session where the Halo Wars theme was created and the opening “Five Long Years” movie that will appear in Halo Wars.

The contents of the pack are pretty standard, aside from the Halo Wars special DVD. There are four CDs – Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2: Volume 2 and the two disc Halo 3 soundtrack. What I don’t understand is, why Halo 2: Volume 1 isn’t included. The original press release, which can be viewed at Team Xbox, makes no mention of the first part of the Halo 2 soundtrack. Perhaps this is because Incubus preformed some of the tracks. I guess you have to spend the extra $9.99 at Sumthing Digital to get that 21 track CD, if you want it.
