I *always* buy special editions of albums. I get more for my money and the artist gets a bit more.

But this time - there really is no point.  :sadpanda:

So.. then you *DON'T ALWAYS* buy special editions.

:yeahright There's usually always a reason to.

Just the album again in a mix I can't listen to ? No.

Can't listen to?  The way I see it, for a minor price bump between the standard edition and Deluxe with the 5.1 mix you may as well get it.  If you ever end up with a 5.1 or better stereo you'll have it on hand other than having to by the whole thing again...

The only way I can see it, the only way it has 0 value to you is if you NEVER EVER intend to buy a surround sound system.. and that's _JUST WEIRD_.

Have I missed it somewhere, or is there no option with the instrumental mixes this time?

You haven't missed anything. That's a negatory on the instrumental mixes.  :sad:

I guess having two instrumentals (and an epic with possibly instrumental movements/sections) kept them from having an instrumental mix of the whole album.

I am really thinking about getting the $100 set, but damn $100 and I don't own a record player.... and I've never splurged like that before  :lol

I didn't own a record player when I got the ADTOE box set. But it actually prompted me to get one.

That's too bad; I really enjoyed the instrumental mixes of the last two albums.

Nothing wrong with that... I own a lot of DT LPs (everything except WDADU and Live at Marquee, because screw WDADU and the Marquee LP is pretty expensive and not worth that much imo), but I don't have a record player either. :P

Got the full box set, just like the last few to come out.  Not really sure why, although being able to play the 5.1 on my system plus the documentary and stems makes it a fairly easy one for me.  It's only money, right?  :-\

Any word on whether or not any import versions will contain a bonus track?  thanks

No they won't. Or somebody who is more clever than me can confirm this. I'm 99% sure.

Which one is the deluxe?

That's pretty messed up. But it you want to risk preordering something so disorganized, I'd say go for the $22 version, not only is the price more indicative, but under product details, it lists 2 discs, whereas the "Deluxe Edition" only lists 1 disc.

I know right?

I finally preordered the standard edition. 14,99€ +3 € shipping. Not really cheap, but not too bad either.

serrano

If you preordered on amazon.de the price could still go down till release. You will end up paying around 12€ + shipping .

aprilethereal

Yep, I hope so.

Edit: damn, I forgot to PM you. But it seems like you found it on Amazon anyway :D

serrano

Preordered the box set. I'm one of those oldies still having a turntable.

I personally ordered the deluxe edition. I didn't really need the 5.1 mix (that being the only thing special about the edition made it pretty weak in that respect IMO) because I don't have that kind of system yet, but a pre-order discount plus another discount which got rid of the shipping cost had it costing only like $1,50 more than the standard edition (I ordered it from a website based in my own country, I should add), so I figured why not.

So I pre ordered the deluxe edition, now road runner records has taken the money out of my account and then re credited it to my account 4 times now. Now I'm 64$ negative in my bank account  :angry:

You should probably e-mail them about that!

That happened to me for the ADTOE boxset as well. It never goes through until they ship it .

Found that out man! Kinda stupid!

TheGreatPretender

RR took the money out of my account for my pre-order of the box set already. Only once though, so I'm assuming everything's good.

That's why I always preorder through Amazon. They never did shit like that to me. And their shipping is relatively cheap.

I once pre-ordered something from Amazon. After weeks and weeks of not delivering it (not only to me, but to ANY of their customers) they kindly informed me that they haven't gotten the shipment of the product yet. So I kindly cancelled my pre-order and vowed to never pre-order from them again. Unless it's already out and they say they have it in stock, I don't trust them.
