My funds are gonna be shot by tomorrow….
I pre-ordered The Art of Up months ago and it was shipped to me a few days back. As for the soundtrack… there’s no legal way to download it at the moment outside the US (since Disney didn’t want to release it on good old CD) so I’ll see if I can find it elsewhere for the time being…
I purchased the Up soundtrack. It’s amazing.
Still waiting for my copy of the video game :[
