so?
-
I voted: "I'll wait / hope until it's cheaper" I really want the 3 tracks and the behind the stage DVD but not at that price.
-
I said, "maybe later"! :-\

On Guy

I have decided that i just HAVE TO HAVE IT.!!!
I can't help it. :P
Although might have to eat bread and water for a week or so. ;)
Cheers BBB.

13000 seems a lot of boxes to me, but if they produced that many, they probably think they will sell. They have probably done their "little poll" too.

My option is not here, and it
-
My option is not here, and it´ll be
- Yes, I´ll buy the box, I´ll keep the bonus cd and the bonus dvd and I´ll sell the 2LP, the tab book and the rest of crap in ebay
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Just for you, the option is now on ;D. You might find a buyer for the tabs and vinyls (I might be interested in the LPs) but who's gonna buy the rest of the crap?
-
Another "maybe later" - if its like a tenner in some bargin bin somewhere i may be tempted! ::)
-
I dunno either ::) ::)
I find that I have loads of bootlegs (thanks to Dusty) that I have looked at or listened to once or twice & are now gathering dust (no pun intended) on the shelf.I bought a 12 cd pack of Chris Rea's blues music about 2 years ago & I've only listened to 4 of the cd's & I'm afraid something similar would happen with the deluxe box set thingies :-[ :-[
Maybe the cd would be a start & I'll see from there - 13,000 box sets seems a lot to shift in todays world when theres a cheaper alternative available.
-
I've said no, but maybe if I see it for a fiver down the line I'll buy it. One problem I genuinely have is lack of space. All my CDs are now in the loft and I have what I need on my ipod. The last thing I need is a great big box.
-
I'd rather save the money and buy Alchemy deluxe box :)
-
By the way, funniest options ever!
-
Funny question.
At my site www.mark-knopfler.nl I have the same poll and from the 28 people that have voted so far 19 people WILL buy the deluxe edition.
For myself I will buy the Deluxe boxset, but my wife is working at MediaMarkt and will get discount for any product she buy there.
-
I will of course buy it and I am going to buy it from play.com. :D

Bol.com is cheaper. Begin this week the price was 109.99 EUR and now it is 99.99 EUR. Delivery outside The Netherlands is

I voted 'No way, they can stick it where the sun don't shine!' but I certainly don't wish to express it in that way lol :)
It just seems a little bit much for me. I can only think of 3 or 4 artists i'd spend that kind of money on, as much as I love his music, Mark isn't one of them. It's still a little vague as to what appears on the bonus disc. B-sides, demos, live?
-
oh yes. I've already pre-ordered the deluxe box.
But the reason is not on poll options: i'm simply foul, mad, crazy...of MK!

Ditto! :)

Which has one of the most expensives prices...
Amazon.co.uk is cheaper right now
-
I don't know- maybe. Whatever I do, I'm sure as heck not going to moan and groan to Guy about it.
-

actually not that many.
from Pink Floyd's "super limited" but rather "super expensive" last box that reissued all cd's in their original lp format and layout, but on cd, only 10000 where produced (and sold)
-
i will buy it.
a little voice in my head says i need to.
actually i got many voices in my head.
there is the mark voice, the david voice, the bob voice and so on...
-
I will buy it for sure... as I may not be able to do lots of gigs ( as i expected...because of my new job...) next year
I need some pleasure !
-
I voted for the option I suggested, LOL
Great to see it has been added ;D ;D ;D ;D

IAN LEWIS, OTHERS -- How did you pre-order it? Where is it available?
Sorry, I haven't had the time to investigate such things lately but do want to buy it.
-
Hi,
I ordered it from Amazon....I didn't care what it cost....I just wanted it....I may regret this later, but I don't think so.........Marjorie Jane
-
Well Guy has written on his forum that just 13,000 of the box sets will be produced and as the saying goes "once they are gone, they are gone" and there will be no more available after these are sold.
13,000 worldwide is not so very many, so it really is a limited edition and probably makes the pricing a little more understandable. But still a little too expensive for my pocket, so while it may be a nice to have, I don't think it's worth missing any meals over.
I'm quite sure the 3 bonus tracks will show up somewhere, maybe even the behind the scenes tour footage (itunes etc?)
which, in common with quite a lot of people it seems, are the only items in the box set that are of interest to me.
jbaent - there probably is a standard or recommended retail price, but some retailers will be prepared to discount the price to persuade people to buy it from them rather than another company. Nothing to get upset about, it's just commercialism.
-
Of course I'll buy it! I'm a fan. I can't understand why I shouldn't.
People on this forum spend thousands on watching MK play the same 17 songs over and over again (I fully understand why, it's the costs I'm thinking of). The box isn't that expensive. It'll be more MK, less beer, CD's, new clothes and such for a month or three. I'm sure it's worth it.
-
For me it's "yes". I preordered the deluxe box this week and hope to receive it actually (paid for it already). :P The extra CD with bonus tracks, vinyl version of GL and the tab book (I hope the chords are in as well) make it the perfect box for me.
-
At first I said 'no way, my family has to eat'. But I just compared the price on Amazon to play.com and it was $25.00 less on play.com. ($150). So, now I'm thinking about it again ........ maybe we can get by on bread & water for a week or two :'(
-
Hmmm, it was $175.00 when I ordered. Amazon says they'll always give you the cheaper price. Hope so. :-\
-
I also preordered on amazon.co.uk.
Incl. p&p it costs now EUR 90.
In Germany you now pay EUR 45 more.
But I think the price there will be chaeper in 2 weeks.
-
amazon is fair when it comes to making you pay the lowest price, have had that experience many times in the past.
lol steinei, i also compared amazon germany with uk and made the right choice...
-
Speaking of amazon.de, I just went there and wanted to order the digipack with two CDs but I don't know which version to choose. You can only pre-order the deluxe boxset for 135 EUR, the others are imports? ???
-
Just wait. The right version is not available there by now.
-

Yes. We have to compare. Maybe CD-Wow will have the Deluxe as well. Could be a nice price then.
-

The price on play.com is 89.99 pounds. The conversion to U.S. dollars (1.6667) = $149.99. This is an import for U.S. customers so I imagine the shipping won't be cheap either.
-
:) I am one of the ones who "Got Lucky" and have heard all the songs. If the extra 3 tracks are half as good as those 11 then the price won't be an issue for me. It being available in here is a bigger issue for me right now. I've only ever bought 2 CD's from the Internet before K2GC and Inamorata. So this will be my only option for the Deluxe set I suspect.

I pre-ordered mine on amazon.co.uk
-
well, I have changed my mind, I am pretty sure (and sure I'm pretty ;) ) that I'll buy it. I intend to go to the store on the day of the release to buy it. Hopefully they'll have it, if not I'll order it online.
-
Better call the store so they can make a reservation for you Rollergirl, or pre-order it online.
-

Maybe you should save for the huge "2010 live tour box" ;D

You think they're all gonna sell out on the first day? naaa!
-

yeah, 2010 live tour box, that will certainly contain previously unreleased recordings from all the DS/MK tours (including 2010 tour), previously unreleased DS/MK studio recordings, and of course John Illsley's wedding in 7.1 sorround sound and bluray video quality. 8)
-
Well, I suppose it's not sold out on the first day but it may take a while before the box arrives (so if you can wait a few days it's not a real problem). I couldn't wait so I pre-ordered it. :P And don't forget... 13 000 is a large number...

Confirmed by Salvador Design (twitter), the deluxe box doesn

It's not even worth a single dollar / euro / whatever!!! It's even worse: think about the raw material the CD's, DVD's, vinyl and books are made of, it's only worth a few pennies!!! :o :o :o It's a shame they ask 100 euro for some paper and plastic! :o
If you buy the box, you get the 3 extra songs, that's the deal. But hey, YOU can dicide if you want the box or not. ;) It's not a crime if you don't buy it. :)
Just kidding hah. ;) I actually don't care what's in the box. If all tabs would have been into the book it would be nice but it's no really an issue in my opinion. I think I'm glad I bought the box. :) Can't wait to see the DVD's with extra footage and the extra songs. :P
-
how can they call this a tab BOOK if it's only one song? ::) Doesn't change anything for me, as I was not interested in the tabs anyway....
-

yes, but doing that maths, if a cd value is that, a dvd value is this, a tab book value is that, well, the sum is near 100 euros or more, so the content value could be that one...

What is the crime is to think that fans are so blind-minded, that will pay as much as you ask for something doesn

Hm, I think there is an MK air guitar included?! It'll be worth it.
All jokes apart - in my view it's a rip-off.

Are you serious with that?
Do you know how much cost the sheet where the best painters in the world painted the best paintings ever made?
How can anyone even consider that you are buying plastic, when you are buying high quality music...
-
Just kinddin', just kinddin'! ;D ;D Don't take it (too) serious. :P I have to admit that 100 euro is a lot of money (I'm a student, it's half the money I got each month), I guess I'm happy when I got it.

The price is still fluctuating. Back from 95 to 99 EUR at amazon.de... I'll wait two more weeks and if it stays this way, I will buy the "ordinary" digipack. And save the rest of the money for a DSLR camera :-D (BTW, anybody here has a used one he or she doesn't need anymore? Looking for a Canon Eos 350D kinda thing... Sorry, OT)

And get kicked out by PC? :o ;D
No, I need it because I work for a newspaper and a normal digicam isn't sufficient when you have to take pics of indoor locations like churches for example.
-
My local M***a M***t thinks it's gonna cost between 500 and 800 SEK (that's roughly 50 to 80 euros). I don't think they have a clue, really, should I get this in writting ;D
-
Seeing as how this is the first such item for quite a long time i'd really love to be able to purchase it but at the moment i couldn't really justify that sort of amount of money for the few extras. The price is probably going to be more than the price of two tickets for the tour next year and i'd rather put the money towards that,but i certainly don't begrudge anyone who wants to buy it.At the end of the day it's peoples own choice as to what they buy and i'm sure if everybody was in a secure financial situation that the set would be a sellout.It may well be anyway. :)
-
I will certainly buy it, its VERY retro for me, as the VINYL are there as well. Not going to listen to the vinyl unless I get a new player somehow ;-)
Just for the pure fun of it, I plan to hang up the Vinyl LP
-
hi !
My answer is NO, anyway I have no choice, (je n'ai pas le choix), I live in a country that has never imported official music, the records here are just burned and royalties are paid by a society of copyright. There is therefore no cover, no lyrics, and so no delux box ! and worse, they don't release all artists. fortunately, Mark music is known since a long time here, so you can find most of the albums.
So you think that I have any choices apart from downloading !? That's why I had no choice and I downloaded the album, and that's since the arrival of the Internet ! "je suis d

That is sad, Kaleo. :'( I'm sure that someone will be happy to send you the lyrics or even a cd in the mail.

Don't be sorry IrisRose, there is always a way! Internet today is a blessing ! but it's true, as a fan it hurt !

ALERT ;D:
amazon.de (Germany) offers the Deluxe Box-Set today for 79,67

Thank you Love Espresso for the news...
It becomes interesting...slowly... :P
Cheers

Yeah, I confess I did it! Ordered my copy minutes ago. Shipping date: 10th Sept. Delievery date: 11th to 14th Sept.
When you use the zoom function on the amazon-page you will see that the replica ticket is from May 25th 1996, from the concert at Sheperd Bush Empire.
It looks quite cool, but nothing special.

Just remember that the german price is more exactly EUR 91,19, I just ordered ;-)
The price of 79 did not include mwst (german tax) and postage and handling. Therefor it is 91,19 EUR but still I saved around 150 danish kroner, which is around 20 Euros or something. Compared to order it in my own country. Done deal ,)

Hello, Peter,
I think you refer to the price in Denmark? in Germany it is the complete price. Without taxes it would be 66

That's not quite true. In Germany we always display Retail sales prices incl. tax. The price is 79,67

well well well ;-) it IS true... here is a copy of my email confirmation.
Probably because then of Denmark, that the price got a notch up ..

OK, Peter, they charge 6 Euro for shipping, and then the MwSt. tax rises of course. That is much money, I think it is because the delivery goes abroad.
But it is a big package also, so we a lucky enough here in Germany to get it for free anyway.
If a German forum member should be so nice and send it to you from Germany (theoretically), it would cost more than 6 Euros to send it to Denmark,
so all in all I think it is still o.k.
All the best!
