Secondly, if you're a hardcore Opeth fan I'd recommend getting the new Still Life. I never had the old so when I saw the new special edition selling cheap I got it quick. It's a remaster. there's some pretty nice artwork in there as well. also comes with a 5.1 surround mix of the album as well as a video of Face of Melinda being played live (which I have yet to watch).
1) The End sells the SE for $21, I think. Any cut the band gets out of this is small. Buy the album for the cheapest you can, and use that saved money to buy Opeth tickets and t-shirts if you want to support the band.
2) I ripped the DVD and converted the sound to CD, and it sounds a lot better than the original CD. I also partially financed the purchase of the new version by selling my old one. Consider doing both of these.
It kinda sucks that Opeth doesn't get what they diserve from TER... I paid the SE of Watershed 21 + 12$ for the shipping (hoping that I would get the signed booklet thingy) And I just saw the SE at my local store for 20$
