I don't, really. Now, if it would have had the Vertigo video shot in the desert instead of the studio, I would've liked it a lot better.

No.
It's a real rip off imo.
It doesn't even have a lyrics book. I could have saved myself £10 and got the £8.99 cd version

It should have the 'Desert Vertigo' vid. That's just stupid not having it on the Single DVD or this one...

Myself, I went to AmazonUK.com and pre-ordered the CD/DVD set. I didn't know if the domestic(US) version would have "Fast Cars". I paid $56(USD) for something that sold in the states for $14.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????

they're selling the cd and the cd/dvd version here for the same price. 
if you're curious about the dvd, it's probably worth the extra coupla bucks. i've heard a couple of the songs from the dvd version, and the acoustic version of 'sometimes' is fantastic.
i bought the collectors edition yesterday, but i don't have a dvd player.
i'll have to entice my friends to let me watch it on theirs.

'fast cars' isn't on the US version of the regular cd or the cd/dvd.

Try $5 dollars more. CD was $9.98 (I've even seen it for as low as $6.99) and the lowest I have seen the DVD version for is $14.98
I watched the DVD content once. Will probably never watch any of it again except Vertigo.

It may be, because it may be a different region coding.

I think the Collector's Edition was worth $25. Fast Cars, and the book were worth the extra $9 (the cd/dvd version was selling for $16.99)

I really think it's worth it. Of course, I'm really into how the band developed a song. I'm into different versions of the song. I thought the acoustic version of Sometimes was excellent. Then, you have the banjo version of Vertigo, which is hilarious.

The UK DVD is in PAL format. Unless you have a multiregion DVD player it won't play in regular US DVD players.

The temple Bar mix of Vertigo makes it worth it. Stupid me though I've bought the EU edition now I don't have Fast Cars. DAMN

I got my cd/dvd set for only 10.99 canadian thats l;ess then the usual price for a CD only! and many places have it for 13.99 which is still less then the price for a regular cd without dvd so why are we bitching about? I think the price is great! I think the MUSIC alone is worth more then the 10.99 even the 13.99!

Best deal: get the CD/DVD deluxe version (not collector's ed) for a few dollars more than the plain CD, and then download "Fast Cars" from iTunes for $0.99. ...Seems like those collector's ed books are censored in the U.S. anyway!

i found the DVD very exciting, to be honest. we should feel lucky that the band is giving us an inside look to how they wrote the songs.

I was going to get the CD/DVD combo, but it was $5 more than the regular version and I really couldn't see myself watching the DVD more than once. Plus, it actually really bugs me for some reason to have an extra disc bogging down an album's packaging. The single disc seems more streamlined and punchier...I don't know. I'm nuts.
