[B Crouch]

Roadrunner are taking their time about this. Not that I'll be buying it or anything.

...As has been previously reported on this board.

Yes i 've announced here

Deluxe editions? Corporate crap!

Deluxe editions? Corporate crap!

Think of the extras though.

• 5.1 mix of the album
• Making of... doco
• Bonus track
• 24 page booklet

Sounds pretty decent to me. Even for a RR special release.

 

[:Wreath:]

^ You are right, that sounds even more than decent and that's why I call it corporate crap. It's been discussed here before but this release is not beneficial for true fans, who already own a CD - now they'll have to spend the cash again to get those few bonuses. It's kind of a penalty for those who want to listen to the new album as soon as possible so they don't wait a whole year for the deluxe edition... I know Opeth has nothing to do with the marketing strategy of RR but it does make me a bit angry... And people critisise downloading...

 

[Maggai]

I really have no problem buying the new version, eventhough i have the original. It's just a fucking cd, it does not cost millions of dollars. How much does cd's cost over in the states btw?

 

[:Wreath:]

Well in our country they're way more expensive than in the US so that's why I bitch so much

 

[Maggai]

Yeah here in Norway as well i think........

 

[Zivilyn]

Well I don't own the CD and it's very likely that I will go out and buy the deluxe edition, unless the price is jacked up a few dollars.

 

[:Wreath:]

Yeah here in Norway as well i think........

Yeah but hey, compare the GDP per capita in Poland and Norway and something might tingle in your head... It's not the nominal price that counts you know...

 

[opeth8]

They might have a new album out before this thing gets issued ???

Or maybe they'll add some more goodies to it. That would be a nice reward for those of us who are waiting for this.

• Making of... doco

That looks very interesting, but I'm still not buying it. :Smug:

 

[Risquit]

Corporate crap? Its called collecting. If you want to be a completist, you have to get everything available. I wish I was alive in the 60s to buy all the Beatles "corporate crap".
