That's not to say the actual content is the same, but judging from the listing it sounds like it only contains the "official soundtrack", which is only the Petri Alanko tracks. Not that there is anything wrong with Petri Alanko's tracks, they are amazing and I have a tremendous amount of respect for his synth work, but they are filmscore orchestral stuff and not the rock songs. Because the whole shakeup and removal of availability of the game is due to music rights issues, I would get the Steam version to be safe. If the game listing soundtrack does not specifically list the POTF songs, it probably doesn't have them. The songs in question can be heard on Youtube for the time being, but I'm not sure if this licensing shake-up means they will be taken down there or not. If they are, it will mean that Steam version owners have some great songs that simply cannot be heard anywhere else (aside from maybe going to Finland and seeing POTF play at a venue). The idea of having some rare tracks like that is pretty cool.
