Anyone know how the album's worldwide numbers are now? Just interesting to see where things landed.

Same here... I lost it when I heard that chorus kick in. When I heard the beach clips with this song, ever since then I've been wanting them to release this song. I'd love to hear U2 perform it during the tour. I had no interest in going to a second 360 show if they came back to T.O., but if...

I can't believe they just dropped Breathe outright. Did people not like that song? Both me and my friend who went to the concert the last time they swung by Toronto love that song and its probably the favourite off the new album for both of us.

If you have a surround system you could probably play around with the levels to get better crowd noise by punching down the centre speaker volume and putting up the rear volume

Its not that grainy in all of the shots. And I think it gives it more of that JJ Abrams effect, theres more of a film quality to the Bluray. I do have a high quality mp3 audio rip of the concert that I made from the DVD and I also inserted Breathe where it should be, but I tried uploading it to...

Okay so now I'm watching both the BD and DVD on my TV (BD on my PS3 and DVD on my Xbox 360). Instantly I can notice some pretty bad jagged edges on the U2 360 At The Rose Bowl initial text on the DVD sitting 10 feet from my TV and while standing right next to my 47" 1080p TV I could not notice...

I have both versions and while I haven't watched both on a big screen display, I've watched the Bluray on my 47" LCD tv and the DVD on my 16" laptop screen, and the Bluray version looks MILES better than the DVD version. I think that review isn't a great one. There is a film effect on the Bluray...

Vertigo was not even close to full. But that was probably more due to poor mastering. With this DVD I noticed quite a bit of blocking on Get On Your Boots with the flashing blue-coloured lighting. Perhaps Whizz (the guys who mastered the DVDs) pushed the bitrate down as far as it could go...

I just spent half an hour editing Breathe back into the concert in the mp3 version I just ripped from the DVD. Everything in the world is right again :D

Maximum Capacity of a DVD: 8,543,666,176 bytes Size of U2 360 DVD 1: 8,421,879,808 bytes They filled it to the max. They couldn't have fit breathe in with only 100 mb of space (unless they reduced the quality). Yes, they could have fit it on the Blu-ray version but I guess they only wanted to...

I got both the Bluray and the two-disc DVD. I only have one Bluray player (my PS3) and everything else I have is DVD based. Anyway, just watched a bunch of the Bluray. The directing and production is pretty amazing. And I loved the animated sequences they inserted. But... Exactly the same...

Anyone know the estimated all-time sales figures of NLOTH and what it is compared to other albums which were at this point?

I have a feeling album sales will see a boost in North America this week. Its in the 50s in Canada and the US right now on itunes (about 24hrs after the youtube concert) yet in other places where U2 is more popular (UK, Ireland) its not even on the top albums chart. That just tells me that this...

I don't think this is as much of an Apple ad envy thing as it is the signature of the people who made the ads. I'm not sure what the company's name is but they may have got it done by the same company which did the Vertigo ad and did some of the Metal Gear Solid 4 intro movies. Heres one of the...

Which is why I love U2 live, if you never had heard of the band U2 before and went to a concert you'd think most of the songs were recent songs. They bring the style of their most recent album to a lot of their songs when on tour... and that was most evident during Popmart.

NLOTH is rising up my list big time. I didn't listen to it for a few months but I started listening to it again yesterday after seeing the Crazy Tonight ads and it has the impact of an Achtung Baby for me. I think the newness of the album had me questioning whether it was really good as everyone...

IMO Crazy Tonight will give NLOTH a longer tail. The Blackberry ad is a killer ad and if it gets as much play as the Vertigo ad I think radio will start playing U2 some more... you know the same thing happened to MJ when he released Invincible, by many accounts after his death people are...

too much red and black, reminds me of some of the vertigo artwork

YES! They finally played it. My friend sent me a youtube link out of the blue today. Bono needs to work on his vocals (was off tone) but the music was great.

Two theories: 1. Could signify pilgrimage? When Muslims go on their pilgrimage (Hajj) all they wear are white sheets. 2. An unveiling of the old. Magnificent harkens back to their early work and perhaps it signifies that whats old is new again.

So now Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) has said that VLV is actually ripped from his song Foreigner suite. I don't think hes gonna sue them though, sounded like he just found it amusing that Satriani is making a big deal out of it. Heres a video comparing the two: YouTube - Cat Stevens vs. Coldplay...

Does anyone know what happened to the magnificent music video? Its so late its not funny.

dang i was only able to get seats in 518 with my boots presale :(.. no GA and only the $200+ tix were available.. well it doesn't look too much further than where i was for the concert in '05 at the ACC but still kinda sucks, was hoping for something a little lower at that price point of $97...

lol, what a terrible news story, Larry has been saying the same things in other interviews, but never implied that they will retire RIGHT NOW.

A) Resident Evil has co-op multiplayer from the get go B) Move + Shoot please :reject: And yes, its far easier/accessible to pirate music than video games. Also, video games offer far more value than an album. An album is background music, listening to an album isn't something people "do"...
