If that's the case Im going to wait and get it there. I don't see the point of paying the shipping costs anyway.

Thanks gratts!!

why do people order stuff online when you can walk to futureshop and get it for the same price?

thats what I was thinking too

being that mostly everyone on the Ship is in a major Canadian town/city. I on the other hand will have to find some outlet to order from, Hopefully MapleMusic can hook me up.

No shit, why would you pay shipping costs? Just go to the store, people won't be lining up for this box-set at midnight Im sure.

well, shipping cost is one thing, but time is another. why wait 2-5 days to get it when you can get it in 2-5 minutes?

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.

Only 26 more sleeps!!!

I am also a student, but I really want to add Hipeponymous to my collection. I figure that I can wait a month and a half longer and I'll put Hipeponymous on my christmas list. Hopefully Santa will deem me nice enough to get the box set...

P.S. Milk and cookies for the man in red this year!
