Well, at worse, you're insinuating that Paul should have funded better packaging out of his own pocket. At best, you've decided to pick on the artists for packaging decisions and have decided somehow to single out Paul.
Tell me, back in the day did you pick on The Beatles for the typos on their album back-covers? |

We've officially run out of important things to bitch about. :banana:

Re: Beatles Remasters Officially Coming 09-09-09
The whole DVD forum would be nonexistent without packaging gripes. I only gripe about packaging on works of importance. Certainly not how the media aligns on my shelves. ;)

I miss LP album covers. Digipaks and jewel cases are functionally useless when it comes to de-seeding your weed. :(

In other news, people are idiots for paying $12.99 for a digital album on iTunes when they could've paid $7.99 for the CD and ripped it to iTunes.

That's the point. Paul doesn't give a shit. He's at a point in his career where he should give a shit.

No surprise on "Abbey Road" but I figured "Yesterday" would be the best-selling track. :shrug: |

As for putting digipaks in plastic sleeves? My CDs are in piles laying around, in boxes, and on shelves. I'm not one for organization. |

For some, it's worth the extra 5 clams to have it NOW (in a compressed, lossy format that ONLY work with Apple products) instead of waiting for Amazon's glacial shipping. Huzzah for the instant gratification society!

Re: Beatles Remasters Officially Coming 09-09-09
I got tired of going through this thread page by page, so I'll just ask.
I'm guessing the additional pages for the Box of Vision for those who bought both the stereo and the mono sets never materialized. Is that correct? |

Hi Alvis-- the Beatles Box was not built to add pages to. We have a companion box that can stand next to it, and you can store your other Beatles CDs in-- we are working on the logistics right now about how to manufacture and distribute this....hopefully for the holidays. |
Re: Beatles Remasters Officially Coming 09-09-09
That's weird, I could have sworn they advertised that you would be able to add additional pages.
|
Re: Beatles Remasters Officially Coming 09-09-09
They did.
At some point, someone realized they could make more money by selling a "companion box". Just in time for the holidays. |

Re: Beatles Remasters Officially Coming 09-09-09
Newbury Comics has the Mono box set for $99.99 this week (thru 11/30). Price change doesn't seem to be reflected online, but I saw it yesterday in-store for that price. Here's the flyer that mentions it:

Re: Beatles Remasters Officially Coming 09-09-09
Every time this thread bumps I know Ill open it and regret again what I paid for the mono set. :lol:

Re: Beatles Remasters Officially Coming 09-09-09
Yeah, I'm kind of glad that I don't even remember what I paid for both sets. I know my sister wants one, but since she has the stereo box set and because Amazon has sold the mono set at $99.99 and will again, I'd rather spend the money on her for something she has a more pressing need for.
Maybe with Prime, if Amazon goes that low in time for Christmas, I'd do it. Wow, I went ahead and checked. I paid $239 for the mono set (Limited edition my ass) and $180 for the stereo set. I was so stupid to worry about these selling out, which is what I'm sure they wanted me to think, because I would and could have waited for more reasonable prices. I got killed on this purchase, but thankfully 2009 is long gone. :) |
