Correct. Well, that and the fact that there was no need to use the game rip version when the OST would be coming out so soon. The OST version is easier to keep tabs on, because it's official.

Yeah, I agree. It's hard to judge a piece of music as being obscure when it just came out.
Look at Katamari Damacy for a perfect example. The OST came out in May 2004 and wasn't that big, but by October (after the U.S. release of the game) everyone had heard of it. Of course, in that case, the popularity of the music hinged on the game itself.
Regardless, a waiting period sounds like a good idea to me.
