EagleMoon Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) It's already not getting very good reviews on Amazon. Sucks they raised the price. Edited September 23, 2014 by EagleMoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those aren't real reviews. it's just a bunch of disgruntled "fanboys" bitching and complaining about something they haven't seen or heard yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they're complaining about it being a cash grab, which it is. Probably some people from here posting the reviews. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savagegrace26 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Regardless, I don't see it as a cash grab because you don't have to buy it (unless you're stupid) and it's cheaper than buying each show individually for those don't already own them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I added up the prices for each blu-ray new on Amazon. Assuming Rush in Rio would be about $25 new it adds up to $109 (not counting the bonus disc because it's a "bonus). What a rip-off.

WorkingAllTheTime Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Will I buy it full price and new? Nope. Will I buy it when I find it for $50 at the used music/video shop? Probably. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSectorA Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) I have almost 300 Rush magazines over 200 live rush boots, audio and video, most of the catalog on CD, posters, press-kit photos, all live DVD's but I would rather buy a special "Fan Collector's Pack" with Rush In Rio on Blu-ray, Bonus disc with full T4E show, not the Bind Date show from 1997 and extensive booklet.

Rush-O-Matic Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Actually, I added up the prices for each blu-ray new on Amazon. Assuming Rush in Rio would be about $25 new it adds up to $109 (not counting the bonus disc because it's a "bonus). What a rip-off. CASH GRAB! I don't usually beat on Rush too bad with "cash grab" criticism, because, I can always decline to re-purchase something. But, as of right now, the only way to buy the bonus disc material, is buy this boxed set. And, I already have all the other stuff besides the book. So, no thanks. Will I buy it full price and new? Will I buy it when I find it for $50 at the used music/video shop? Will I watch the bonus videos when they're posted on YouTube? Yep. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddysMullet Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 This would be a better deal for me if I hadn't bought the blu-ray version of R30 just a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I've been waffling about purchasing this thing, as I own pretty much all of the video releases already. But I need to have that bonus stuff. But...100 clams for a lot of stuff I already have? I mentioned my uncertainty to my wife, and she simply said, "they're your favorite band. Just buy it." I'm having a hard time arguing against that logic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a rush fan is an occasionally expensive hobby that gives back way more than I will ever spend.If you have the disposable income it must be wonderful.... That's what I mean - it doesn't seem as disposable - like tossing money away on booze and drugs, or whatever. My band plays at these pubs where we regularly see "regulars" buying $6 pint after $6 pint. Seems like an expensive way to refresh yourself... I wish I had more disposable income. People on the forum have on several occasions talked about "saving up" for the next Rush show, or Rush con, or whatever. I can understand that. I'm lucky enough to have this little covers band that plays once or twice a month, which gives me a bit of extra music money. The box set represents maybe a gig and a half of sweating on stage (and throwing my spine out of whack with my 10.5 lb Ibanez bass). I think it'll be worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and it's not like people have to have something the minute it comes out. Once it's out, it'll be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnify Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I can't do it - no way to justify spending $125 to re-purchase a bunch of Blu-rays I already own, just for some bonus footage (a fair amount I've already seen or possess ) and a nice book. This will be the first Rush release in 30 years that I did not purchase the day it came out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
