WOOOO I got the UK version of the album but a I have a couple questions

[bloodysunday972]

My mum got back from the UK yesterday with the album but the wild thing that caught my attention was the album has a slipcase and its the album and the dvd of course with the bonus track

Did my mom get the regular or the advanced edition ?

 

[dezmaas]

There is a regular version with the 12 tracks, a version with CD and DVD and a version with CD, DVD and book.

But slipcase....?

 

[U2@NYC]

I need to have that version...

How much did she pay for it?

 

[Lucy3011]

I have the limited edition boxset and the regular CD.
My stepdad has the CD and DVD set, which has a slipcase.
These generally cost about £15.99 here in the UK.

 

[U2@NYC]

Hmm, I guess that I might as well start finding a friend in the UK that could bring that version over. I think I will go for the CD and DVD set (I originally wanted to get the Japanese version but current prices make it prohibitive)...

P.

But slipcase....?

So, how does the US version of the CD/DVD album come then?
2 Separate cases?

 

[U2@NYC]

I think it is just one case for a double CD...

so while we're talking about different versions--

How many people have more than one version of HTDAAB?

I've got 2 - the regular version the label sent me as a promo, and then I bought the deluxe version with the DVD. so I only paid for one copy.

What about y'all? ....and which versions are worth getting?
I would say the DVD with the deluxe version is pretty lame.

 

[bloodysunday972]

Keep in mind though if you dont have a region free dvd player the dvd is preety useless unless you play it in your computer.

 

[dezmaas]

I already have the deluxe version including Fast Cars, but I also wanted the standard CD that I could use all the time without damaging my precious deluxe edition! So I ordered the UK version from Play.com. They advertise it as having Fast Cars. I got home tonight to find the 11 track CD.Arggghghghghghghhhhhhh!! to Play.com

 

[Lucy3011]

Dezmaas, email Play.com and tell them to sort it!

I have the CD with 11 tracks, CD with 11 tracks + DVD (deluxe), the Special Edition (CD with 12 tracks, DVD and book) and vinyl. I'm waiting for the CD with 12 tracks.

 

[U2@NYC]

That is a good question for bloodysunday972... can you play the DVD of the CD you bought in the UK here in the US?

 

[bloodysunday972]

Audio CD yes but DVD no because of regions ARGHHHHHHHHHHH
Its so weird though cause it says itll play on all regions !

 

[U2@NYC]

Hmmm, maybe it makes sense just to buy the regular version to get Fast Cars and that's it (no DVD)...
