Ringtones

My Google-fu is weak. I wanted to get some different ringtones, but you can imagine the kind of stuff that shows up in Google results. Every fiber in my body tells me not to click those links, and those I checked out anyway were pretty abysmal. Might as well search for email smilies. Does anyone have any good resources to recommend?
I know about Ringdroid. Not looking to roll my own out of songs.

I get all my ringtones from http://www.soundboard.com/category/Games.aspx
Soundboard has a lot of video game content that would be great for SMS notifications, but not wanting to pay them money adds more steps to the process. I suppose I'll only need 2-3 different tones, though. Googling for specific video game sound effects is working out pretty well, though (eg: Zelda)
Thats hilarious! Need to give that a shot. Now I want to get a job at Apple just so I can troll every single employee.
Garg, I always make my own as well. Anyone who's been around my phone in the last two years knows that the one thing it's good for are my ringtones - it's a museum of classic and modern video game music, individualized for each contact.
I find the song that I want on YouTube, and pull out a wave editor (though any simple recording program will work). I set the input to "stereo mix", which will record the direct audio feed from your soundcard or onboard. Then play the song on youtube, save it down, toss it on the phone.
I actually pad all of my ringtones with 3-4 seconds of silence. That way when I recieve a call, the phone will vibrate for a few seconds before it makes noise. If I'm in an environment where I don't want to disrupt others, as if I forgot to silence my phone, it gives me a second to mute it before game tunes start blasting. It's a habit from working in a television studio.
Like the habit of not walking around in the background carrying pies during a broadcast?
Old habits die hard, man.
