GeddysMullet Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I'm very tempted, but damn, that's a lot of money. They already soaked me for the 2112 re-release last year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Grownup Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Another item I won't be able to afford. Before it gets to Denmark it has probably increased it's cost by factor five because of stupid import fees. Sometimes I understand why that is, but in this case it's not like I'm ruining it for someones business in Denmark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geddysgal13 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 So will the dvd feature the same as what is for sale to the public or is the additional footage only available to the first 5000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I already got the CD's & DVD's for less than $40. I'm not too worried about spending another $60 on a fancy case for it. But I'm not stopping the rest of you, it looks cool, but I gotta keep what I have left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USB Connector Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 OOOOH that looks awesome.... $100? To hell with that. Blu-ray + CD for less than half the price. I don't care how few are made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that the contents of the DVDs, bluray and CDs are the same as what will be commercially available, this set appears to house all 3 formats together in an exclusive LP sized portfolio book with a special unique tourbook that is only available in this set.

losingit2k Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 You guys are letting yourselves get fleeced, lol For the first time ever I agree with GR79. Why would you need to have both DVD and Bu-ray of the same thing. Are you expecting your Blu-ray to stop working? I think its one or the other. Save your $60 buck and you'll be 1/2 way towards the tickets payment of their next concert. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I will bring a DVD to work so I can play it while doing paperwork. Sometimes I will throw in a DVD in the car if my wife and I are on a long trip (wife likes to watch), but when I travel, I always bring my portable DVD player or my MacBook. That's the reason I like having both formats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the exclusive tour book is what got my attention and $$$ for two sets. Already have two Blu-rays on order from Amazon! Oh, what the hell, I'll be able to play it in every room of my house with a TV!!! That's awesome!!! :haz: :rush: :rush: :haz: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geddysgal13 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I am wondering if the tour book is the one from the shows or a different one. I have two of the tour books. I don't have a blue-ray player. Is it worth the investment to get one is it the same as a dvd player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is this embarrasing? Limkted edition for collectors. Is there something wrong with Rush selling deluxe bundle packages? When you look at the contents, this is not a fleece.

I just think it's light on value for that price tag, which gives it a little too strong an odour of cash-grab for me. I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with making money on fancy merch, per se, I just think that this particular product is overpriced for what you get. Fancy merch is all well and good, that's the way that business is done these days and I accept that and at times indulge in it, but make the price a little more reasonable or, for $100, give the customer something more special than just a fancy package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pags Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 If I could afford this it would have been pre-ordered before I responded to this post. This looks incredible. My best wishes to the fortunate 5K. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I break it down by approx. retail pricing, it's $20 cd's, $20 dvd, $25 bluray, $20 tour book, $10 double-sided litho. That leaves $5, which can be applied to the LP size hardcover book that holds the discs. Nope, not seeing the cash grab. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnus 2112 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I think it's a little overpriced but I ordered it anyway because there are only 5,000 available and in two or three years i'm going to be kicking myself when I see it on Ebay for more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeminiRising79 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Let's face it. U guys will buy any bone that Rush throws toward you. But its becoming too much now...they're really starting to get sloppy with their cash grabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narps Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I guess I might as well add my two cents on this subject. I love this band, but I can remember a time when you could't find Rush anything. T-shirts, hats whatever. I have many shirts and a few hats. I have lot's of LP's also. I will have to say I will draw the line on this one. I think they may be going a bit overboard with some of this stuff. I have pre-ordered the Blue -ray and will be glad to own it. I will not shell out 100.00 plus for this one. Love :rush: ,but this is a bit much. Call it a money grab or whatever term you wish to choose. It does kinda feel like one to me. just my opinion as always............ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, too, remember buying everything I could afford that was associated with Rush after I got my first job in college...European picture discs, singles, a black satin Hemispheres jacket from the backstage club (they sent me a small instead of medium :( , magazines that featured Rush or Alex. At 18 yrs old I was head over sneakers with Rush...they were bigger than life itself back in 1980.
