: totally agree with you 100% D.W. , As a hardcore collector myself, this set is what I've been waiting for for many a moon!! This set is Diamond in the crown of my collectiondirewolf74 wrote:Stephen Dame wrote:I'm going to be skipping this one. As a student, I can't justify that price for songs I already own, and a live show I've already heard. It also seems like a label cash grab, especially given some of the comments the boys have made in past years regarding greatest hits compilations.
If there's a tour, I'll support it, but count me out of the retail.
If this was nothing more than a greatest hits compilation, I'd totally agree with you. But I get the impression that the band, their management, and the label worked together to make sure there was plenty of extra stuff thrown in for the hardcore fans. Yes I already own all the hits, but that's not why I'm buying it. I'm forking over my cash strictly for the two new songs, the fully mixed & mastered live concert DVD (a first for the band), the 48 page book, the 23 videos, the 50-minute "Macroscopic" film (whatever that is), and the 11 new video pieces. This is all stuff that I don't have, and as an obsessive collector I'm looking forward to finding out what all the extra bells and whistles are. Hell, I'd pay $48 just for the book and the live DVD.

I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

yes, but those two items do not constitute the entire package.thedarkcanuck wrote:the price on those ebay items is considerably less than the $60 package price we`ve been hearing as well
you don't get the book, the bonus dvd with videos or the new video set.
even mymusic has them separate like that, with prices of $13.95 for
"that night in toronto", and $14.98 for yer favorites.

I noticed an ad in the Calgary Sun today that had the release date listed as Nov. 8th. Did Universal push it back a week?? It was a pretty small blurb, so I'm thinking chances are good that it was a miss-print. I really don't wanna have to wait an extra week for this thing. I'm gettin way too antsy as it is.
