Changed the publish format from Enclosure to Promo. This album was not enclosed with "Hardened Edition" of the game, Hardened edition only offered codes for a digital downloadable version of the OST (mp3 VBR 256 kbps). Also on CDs themselves it says "for promotional purposes only". The only other official public release (that we know of) on a physical device was coupled with Russian Collector's Edition: http://vgmdb.net/album/36378

So this one is a composer's promo. Probably released sometime alongside the game, but not necessarily on the same day, so maybe the best would be to put just the year 2012 for the date.

Included with the Hardened Edition. Is that just a "representation" of the soundtrack. Thought it was the physcal CDs.

It is not unusual to use a picture of a CD case in promotional graphics. Basically this is the easiest way for a publisher to convey a presence of a soundtrack, so people will acknowledge it as such.
But unless it is clearly stated that there will be a CD, it is really a gambling game whether the soundtrack is on CD or a digital download. Please note that nowhere on that page (or any other store/distributor) that sold Hardened Edition actually specified that there were physical CDs included in a set.
Hardened Edition in North America did not have CDs for soundtrack, only voucher codes.
