Confirmed by Salvador Design, the tab book only has the tabs for the song Get Lucky

Does it worth that lot of money in the end?

I doubt it very much  >:(
You might get lucky, now and then

The raw material the box is made of isn't worth a single dollar. ;) No doubt. It's what's it contains. If you download the bonus songs from a torrent (which is likely to happen although it is illegal anyway, I won't be the one who's uploading them), you don't have to pay anything. :)

Think of the price of attending a show: MK takes more than TWO HOURS of my valuable time! The worst thing is, I have to invest even MORE time to go to a gig and I have to pay 60 euro for it as well!!! It's a shame!!! :P ;D :D

OK, I have succumbed!   In spite of saying I am a "maybe" I have changed my order at Amazon to a boxed set!    My husband, Colin, says he will hang the dice from the car mirror, LOL!   ;D

he he he! me too! I went from a maybe to a yes!

My local store called yesterday. They could order the box, but with a price of 135,99. I said, way too much, online it's 99 everywhere.
Today they called back and told me the wholesaler changed the price to 99 euro as well  :)

So I ordered it from my local shop, and I expect to have it one or two days before the 11th  :D

It's down to 95 EUR at amazon.de now. I'll watch it for some more time. If the price goes down 20 more Euros I might consider buying it.

I do agree, until then I am in the list of who won't buy it. Too much money for nothing...just a way to take money from fans. No thanks, there are most important things for me.

I don't want to change the world but these are commercial madness and speculation. I would feel very bad if I buy it "just because I am a fan". It means for me: "I'll give you 100 Euro just because I am stupid".
This is what I would think of myself and is not related to what you all decide, I love and respect everyone in this forum.

I will use the money to visit my friends and family who lives far away from me. That's worth it for me now.

Cheers

Ok, Ladies & Gentlemen, the deed is done.
Deluxe Box Set just ordered from Amazon UK. ;D

I should receive on 15th or 16th. 2 days after release day. :'(

Which means knowing how crazy i am, i wont be able to wait, and i'll have to buy the basic edition on the 14th as well. :o

Maybe you allow me to be a little off-topic here: Kraftwerk releases a Box-set, too, the eight EMI-releases are digitally remastered and become available in a Box Set from Oct., 2nd. Eight records. I understand there are two editions, one with 8 heavy vinyl records and a cd edition with expanded artwork.
Priced 85 Euro. It is called "12345678 - The Catalogue".

Well, THAT

Why are there poker chips and craps at all in the deluxe box set? I mean where is the connection to gambling? Do I miss a point here? The song 'get lucky' is not connected to gambling, isn't it?

Maybe I'm slow... ???
