New U2 dvd out today
I hadn't seen anything about it so just to let everyone know a new U2 dvd is out today - Go (Live from Slane castle, Ireland). It also has DTS sound!
Beware it comes in two different packaging--normal or a cd like case.

I also ran to Best Buy on my lunch, and they only had the jewel case version also. Even though they really *should* carry the other version, they only list one version being sold on their website.
Another Best Buy rant - I also wanted to pick up the new RHCP greatest hits cd/dvd, but they only had the single disc (cd) version. I asked an employee about the "deluxe" version and he gave me the "if it's not on the shelf, then we probably don't have it"....bah.
Back to U2 - I called up Tower Records and they have the good (non-jewel case!) version of the "Live from Slane" dvd. The guy told me that today it's on sale for $17.99, but tomorrow it's $24.99, so I reserved one and I'm picking it up after work.

Picked it up at lunch today (along with TTT: EE and Moby. Excellent setlist. While it's virtually the same as the Elevation Tour DVD they released last year, this one has a very different feel to it and doesn't feel redundant at all. If you like the band, this is a must-have.

So at this other Best Buy that I went to (Levittown, NY), they had the U2 "deluxe" version on sale for $14.99, so I grabbed it and am going to return the other unopened one (which I paid $17.99 for) to Tower soon.
Earlier today I just wanted one - now I have two....heh.

Just double-checking before I head out to pick this up tomorrow--both versions of the DVD, cd jewel case and "deluxe" version have the exact same disc. It's just the packaging that's different, right? No extra features/freebies in one and not the other? Thanks.

For those who want to make absotively posolutely sure they've got the right one, the UPC for the limited edition digipak is 6 02498 11969 3 and the one for the standard jewel case release is 6 02498 13514 3. I can verify there is no other difference between the two other than the size of the packaging materials, but really, who wants a goofy-lookin' jewel case next to their ELEVATION 2001 and BEST OF 1990-2000 digipak DVDs???
