What Version Are You Buying?

[dsmith2904]

Okay, there's four different versions of the album available: regular, double (CD and DVD), super deluxe limited edition (CD, DVD, book, kitchen sink), and vinyl. Out of curiosity, what version(s) have you bought or are you planning to buy? I'll throw in an "other" option if someone is getting a tape or downloading it onto their iPod.

 

[jendzi]

bought my box set on thursday

 

[UKTan]

bought standard version & deluxe limited boxed set

 

[The OOTS]

I bought the UK import standard edition....

 

[nurse chrissi]

Got the deluxe ed. on Amazon - will be downloading the box set from itunes - I figure that will take a couple hours even with broadband internet


and I'm probably cave and get a regular CD just to go out and actually something up

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Deluxe Edition

 

[God Part III]

Both Standard and Deluxe.

 

[Sleep Over Jack]

I got the cd and dvd set.

 

[annatheduck]

Cd and dvd pack plus the box set. I might buy the regular cd at some point though...

 

[irelandwhispers]

Money's real tight right now. Just the regular album for me.

Can't wait to hear it.

 

[Laura M]

Deluxe but I'll also be buying the vinyl version

 

[martha]

CD+DVD

 

[riteshbhatt1]

I can only afford the $8.99 version from Circuit City this year

 

[super fly guy]

I bought the regular CD and the limited edition box set

 

[gas panic]

I bought the vinyl, standard cd, cd & dvd and 2 copies of the deluxe edition.

 

[Aardvark747]

I bought the vinyl, standard cd, cd & dvd and 2 copies of the deluxe edition.

Ditto

 

[ultrraviolette]

1 vinyl
1 standard
1 cd & dvd
1 deluxe

All of these will stay sealed for my collection.

And I'll also buy another copy of the deluxe for me to listen to and play with

 

[Bono's shades]

I'm buying the CD w/DVD tomorrow. I've got $4 worth of Best Buy bucks from McDonalds, so it will only cost me $12.99. Sweet!

 

[bono_man2002]

I Brought the CD/DVD One
and the CD/DVD/Booklet One..

i've spent over $660 on U2 this month (if you add the iPod and Vertigo Singles, Albums)

 

[tiny dancer]

Deluxe and Standard

 

[If you shout...]

The straight-up, regular-ass CD and then the boxed set for me.

 

[xtal]

Ah hell, I don't know what to buy! This is all too much for me!

Just give me what I want and nobody gets hurt!

 

[UltraVioletBoy]

I bought the U2 iPod, both Vertigo singles, downloaded HTDAAB and ordered the Deluxe Limited Edition w/cd, dvd and book. I'll likely also buy a couple of import editions.

I'm also struggling with whether to download the complete U2 digital box set. The dilemma is that I'd be paying $100 for essentially 60 songs max that I don't currently have in my U2 music collection... out of 400+ songs... don't know if it's worth it.

We'll see.

 

[Aardvark747]

And copies for friends and family at christmas of course...!

 

[desire25]

1 vinyl
1 standard
1 cd & dvd
1 deluxe


All of these will stay sealed for my collection.

And I'll also buy another copy of the deluxe for me to listen to and play with

i think only the cd version will be available here.
and i wish i could afford to buy all formats and have an extra to keep in the shelf. but then who knows there would be other formats 2 yrs from now and everything can be stored in one piece.
hopefully it would be more affordable and i would be richer and then plasma tv would be a real "household" term.

 

[U2Kitten]

I AM SO LAME: I hardly ever come to this part of the forum and I was totally unaware of the various versions. I bought the cheapo Now I'll have to spend more money to get the one I really wanted, and I can't afford both but I've already opened it. It's good to collect 'em all though. I should have looked first.

I just bought the deluxe "Collector's Edition." That's it.

I've seen the prices that musical memorabilia fetches decades after the fact, and it generally isn't worth it to buy multiple copies and leave one unopened, for the most part. I'll enjoy my opened "Collector's Edition."

If there's anyone lamer than me, it's the stores around here I had to ask for it at Walmart and the lady had no idea what I was talking about! She had to go in the back and dig in boxes, and I had to describe the cover to her! My Circuit City didn't have it out and the salesman tried to tell me it hadn't been released yet! Duh! Best Buy had the Deluxe and cheap ones. I'm still looking for the other 2.

I'm afraid if many stores are like this it will hurt the initial sales of the new album

 

[bsp77]

Is Fast Cars on the US Deluxe (CD and DVD)? I know it is on the Collector's (which I bought) but a friend is interested in the Deluxe.

 

[U2Kitten]

Which video performances are on the DVD?
