That's what I thought of when I first saw it.
I'm still debating whether or not I want this box set - I might just go the iTunes route.

The Marrocco shoots remind me of AB. The poses more of UF.
I really like the pictures with the panoramic view of Fez.

Really? I definately see it...
Better view from the Promo Poster!
The squares theme. The photos of the band in natural very textured settings.
NLOTH to me seems like a cleaner black and white version of AB artwork...

The third picture down on the left is awesome. Adam and Larry look especially cool there.

For anyone interested in Canada...Best Buy has the box set up now for $78.99. This is the cheapest Ive found...Amazon.ca is $87.99 and Future Shop is $108.99...
Does anyone know if the Boxset from Amazon is going to come with the extra bonus track or is that just an iTunes thing?

Remember, iTunes is claiming to have TWO bonus tracks (both available by pre-ordering and obtaining on date of release). One, of which, is said to be exclusive to iTunes only. I don't know if this Amazon boxset is going to have one or not.

iTunes still won't let me pre-order.

and remember those prices are list prices. The sale prices are going to be lower.
I'm still counting on Best Buy.

True. I'm trying to be legitimate though.

^^^ Yeah; I mean, if you're going to spend however much for the boxset, you'd expect to get eeeeeeeeeverything, ya know?

That's how I see it. A boxset that's supposed to retail for $100 OUGHTA be complete....

Exactly. They're gonna get my $70 or whatever and then another $10 so I can get one extra track through iTunes?
No way, McGuinne$$.

Well, I'm the sucker that ordered both.
I gave him my money. I know it was wrong. Forgive me.
I am in Canada and we don't have a factory that makes these boxsets anymore. They all get imported from the USA. The demand in the USA gets addressed first, then they start to ship the boxsets to stores in Canada. This delay can mean 2-3 weeks minimum before any Canadian based shop sees it online or not. This is a pattern that I know that has existed for the last several boxset/deluxe editions (JT and U218 for sure). I ordered through the USA Amazon and not the Canadian Amazon. Even so, this means I'm probably a week or more away from getting the boxset. Had I gone through the Canadian Amazon, I'd have to wait at least two-three weeks before their shop got the "import" in and then I would be waiting another week for the mail.
The iTunes pre-order lets me get it all instantly and the I can load it all up, film and all on the iTouch and go nuts until the real deal comes in the mail. I think I might get about two weeks heavy play before upgrading most of the songs with the actual boxset. I'm a whore, sorry. No willpower for U2 stuff.

NLOTH Boxset £17.99
Just stumbled upon Amazon UK and found the boxset was £17.99 so I decided to pre-order it.
Just a headsup for those of you who are looking for (probably) the best price.

I pre-ordered the £12.98 version. Decided I didn't really need the magazine so long as I have the film and whatever else is included. Does anyone have any insight into pre-ordering with Amazon? I'm trying to avoid all leaks or new tracks until I get the CD and it would be a nightmare if it didn't arrive on March 2nd and instead was late.
I don't know about amazon.co.uk, but amazon.ca and .com will deliver your goods as soon as they arrive. With something like U2, there's sure to be plenty of copies and no back orders, so don't worry; just order this bloody amazingly priced item! Do it for me to have a great deal vicariously through you! I'd also like your first born.

I'm thankful Canada gets stuff from the US because the Canadian Toronto factory always damages things like booklets; there are tons of dents on the binding for U2 albums printed in Canada since 2000.Well, I'm the sucker that ordered both.

Just do what I do. Cancel and reorder. If it's combined, you can just email and ask them to lower the price and they will.
I ordered mine last week on there and it was 41 quid!!!!!! CCCCUUUNTTTS!

Whoa, take it easy. Amazon.co.uk has a pre-order price guarantee.
(Also on No Line On The Horizon (Ltd Edition Hardback Book CD+DVD): U2: Amazon.co.uk: Music )
I just ordered mine. For 18 quid, it's a steal and hopefully I can live with it only being on my doorstep a week after the release.

Most companies that allow preordering don't debit your account until your album actually leaves their warehouse . . .they may put a 'hold' on the money to enable the sale to go through - most also have a price guarantee in that if the price is lowered you will get the lower price . . . as someone else here suggested, give em a call / flick em an email and see - good luck
