Excellent trend in releasing CD with extra DVD
I recently bought the Strokes CD 'Is This It' that came with a free DVD of their videos and a couple of live performances. It's a great little extra and I've seen a lot of bands doing.
I'm sure this is a new way in which music companies are trying to thwart off piracy. I think it's great because it's giving fans something more for their money. The cost of adding an additional DVD is pretty minimal I would think and the record companies should give us something more for our money.
Some other bands that have done this:
Ash - Free All Angels
Dave Matthews Band - Busted Stuff
Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf
Eminem - The Eminem Show
U2- 1990 - 200?
System of a Down - Toxicity
Incubus - Morning View
Any others people can think of?

Jurassic 5's upcoming disc will include a DVD, as well.
I think it's great, too, especially when coupled with sensible pricing (e.g., the Strokes disc is $8 at Circuit City this week). Those two factors combined would really cut down on file sharing and pirating if it was applied to more artists, I would think.

DVD Talk Limited Edition
Question about the J5 disc: I've seen both a LE DVD and a non-DVD version for presale, at the same price. Is the non-DVD version even going to be released until the other is sold through?
I actually don't care that much for the video content, but it's a great trend. Much like movie extras that I never watch, yet want to own

Kind of the opposite approach: I bought the movie "The Wash" and it came with the soundtrack cd inside also. I think this is another great idea. It would be sweet if they included the movie soundtrack along with the DVD of the movie. I know some bands that release DVDs include an audio cd along with it.

The Donnas new CD comes with a DVD.
I was just talking to my friend about this trend, I don't know how to cure the record industry, but adding value to a CD is a good start.

Has that JSBX repackage come out yet? I've been holding off for months to buy that album and have been checking regularly for when it comes with a DVD.

While I don't mind extra anything, some of these so called "extras" are about as impressive as a free AOL disc.

Although Janet's definitely had more bang for the buck.

The disturbed cd was well worth the $19.99 I paid at Circuit City for it. The coolest single cd packaging ever, the metal symbol, red leather etc. But I admit it would probably only appeal to hard core fans... which is probably why it was so limited to begin with, not meant for eberyone IMHO.
