So...does hearing Windows in the sky affect your decision on buying U218 in any way?

[U2girl]

Are you now buying U218, will you wait for Windows single, or will you not buy neither Windows nor U218?

Personally I'm torn between buying U218, and waiting to see if Windows in the sky will have a good B-side.

 

[WinnieThePoo]

it's not as good as electrical storm
buy youself red& blue beatles collection , now this is a good deal

 

[bathiu]

I'm buying everything: U218Singles with DVD, U218Videos DVD and both The Saints Are Coming and Window In The Sky singles...

yeah, I know

 

[Zooropean103]

Milan DVD, that's what it's all about

Mercy = Possible Bside for WITS??????

 

[Utoo]

was gonna get it anyway for the dvd. I mean come on, look at the OOTS video: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000JJ4GW0...ode=as3&creativeASIN=B000JJ4GW0/intercomu2-20

Mercy = Possible Bside for WITS??????

I doubt mercy will appear until they release a box set or a "definitive" or "essential" greatest hits or whatever....I am sure it will appear as the single off that. Bitter experience has taught me that the b side to window in the skies will be either a remix or a live version of something or other....

 

[rock888nwo]

I'm def. going to buy the deluxe version or whatever it's called w/ the dvd

 

[Zoots]

I don't know. Not sure.

 

[Axver]

Definitely not going to buy it.

Even if this were the best song in history, I still wouldn't buy it. I'd just make an effort to get a lossless copy free somewhere. In this case, I just want a high quality MP3.

 

[alanah]

I'll probably get it because I want the Milan DVD anyway.

Same here , and I after heard this song , I'm so buyin this album

 

[Varitek]

I was leaning no, and WITS left me still leaning no - I'll get the single, but the Amazon preview leaves me in the middle.

 

[Galeongirl]

I'm buying everything: U218Singles with DVD, U218Videos DVD and both The Saints Are Coming and Window In The Sky singles...

yeah, I know

So am I!

 

[2morrow]

Definitely gonna buy it. Not for WITS, but for the Milan DVD. I'm also a sucker for any new album artwork.

 

[Nisse]

Nope, not really interested in the compilation. I will see about the single though

 

[corianderstem]

I'm buying it alllllll, baby.

 

[U2freakboy]

WITS makes me want to buy it more. And, once I get in my CD player, I will skip ahead to number 18 and listen to it over and over again.

 

[The Slow Loris]

I don't get it. Half of you (who aren't buying the album) seem to not want or care about the Milan DVD.

 

[U2Man]

although it's a rip-off, wits + milan dvd is enough for me to cough up the money.

 

[thelaj]

I am buying all the releases. Why?

U218 Singles [Deluxe], for the Milano DVD!
U218 Singles, because the deluxe case won't fit in my CD collection (had to do this with the deluxe HTDAAB as well)
U218 Videos, because I want the videos in DVD quality!
The Saints Are Coming, for charity
Window in The Skies, for the B-Side

 

[FullonEdge2]

I don't get it. Half of you (who aren't buying the album) seem to not want or care about the Milan DVD.

It's probably because it's a half-assed DVD. Who's going to watch a DVD of 10 live tracks again and again? Where's the rest of the concert? When watching concert DVDs, I'm looking for the whole concert experience, and thus every other U2 concert DVD would be more inviting for me to watch than the Milan cut. If I want to see more Vertigo, I will wait for the 3-D South American concert.

As for WITS, it's a wonderful song! I'll probably buy a copy or two of U218 as gifts, but it's not something that I need.

 

[Chizip]

nah, this is the first u2 cd i wont buy

i would like the Milan DVD but it irritates me that they force you to buy a cd of songs you already have in order to get it, so I'll just download that

 

[U2Man]

 

[Lancemc]

I've already preordered my limited edition U2:18. Saints, Window, and Milan DVD I'm also going to buy the DVD with all the music videos when it comes out.

 

[Chizip]

I am buying all the releases. Why?

U218 Singles [Deluxe], for the Milano DVD!

Window in The Skies, for the B-Side

You're really going to buy the same album of songs twice because of the packaging?

 

[Zoots]

I'm also going to buy the DVD with all the music videos when it comes out.

That is the only product I'm even considering at this point. Even that one will probably have a few 90s videos, Beautiful Day & Stuck that I already have on the 90s dvd!

 

[corianderstem]

Who's going to watch a DVD of 10 live tracks again and again?

Um ... a lot of people?

I get your point about it not being a full concert, but I'll take it over no concert at all.

 

[Zoots]

but I'll take it over no concert at all.

But the point is should we let U2 Corp screw us over by putting a measly 10 tracks on the dvd? Or is this limited edition aimed at the casual fan? In that case, it doesn't matter cos the casual fan would love to get anything in his/her hands. But I'm finding it hard to see what merit the hardcore fan gets out of this for shelling out the hard earned $23.99! As hardcore fans, should we ignore this release?

This awkward singles compilation at an odd time such as this makes no sense whatsoever.. unless it is strictly aimed at the casual fan! But then why would they include the Milan dvd and 2 new songs for the casual fan???
