I just saw that.
I like when they do stuff unannounced. Let's hope there are some more surprises coming our way.

It says they're coming out July 29th, but I wouldn't be surprised if they come out the same time as Americans, since lots of stuff is made there. I don't mind the wait. I just don't want any mis-pressings or reversed artwork.

And $38.99 on Bestbuy.ca!?!?

Best Buy Canada

Both had release dates of 7/22...dunno if that changed with the recent packaging problems reported by Amazon.

Amazon set would be $63.99 + $8.00 shipping + Your packages may be subject to the customs fees and import duties of the country to which you have your order shipped.

...Free shipping is for USA only...

Future shop would be $85 including tax total and would not have to wait for delivery...but no cool box

Exactly my dilemma, but I'm ordering from amazon.ca, which doesn't have the cool box either. I hate those bloody import fees. They also charge us a handling fee of 5 to 8 bucks. Bastards.

I'll tell you the biggest factor in pricing these things -- other than corporate greed -- is the packaging. Because it's 2 CDs, companies charge so much more -- disproportionately more. This happened to me with The Cure remasters, too. The single disc versions could often be discounted to as little as $10 ($8 in the case of "The Head on the Door"), but deluxe album packaging will ensure it never drops below $25 or so. That's the real problem with these things.

I gotta get this box set, but I don't wanna pay so much for those tariffs and shipping. Also, I find I get CDs with scratches half the time and I like to be able to return stuff. I don't want to pay another tariff if there's a replacement order. It's such a hassle. Hopefully, some Canadian stores or amazon.ca will get it.

Hers is some pics of my remasters collection from yesterday

The vinyl arrived on Saturday (pics of these on my collectors thread on U2.com thanks Rich)

Im mullendrums btw

The standards & The Deluxes

The HMV boxsets

The Zavvi boxset - came with free badges also

The Hmv boxsets have misprints both to the Boy and October packaging.

October Packaging states free War shirt

And the Boy tracklisting is all wrong for the bonus cd.

Quality control must of been drunk lol

u2search · 07-22-2008, 08:20 AM

I checked prices yesterday in the Netherlands: Free Record shop sold the special editions for 34,50 each. Which meant I had EUR 140 in my hands with just 4 double cd's (JT being the 4th). Glad I ordered them at Amazon! Btw I saw no misprints, but I only checked for the direction of the printing on the sides.

MediaMart Rotterdam was slightly cheaper and I expect other MediaMarts (Den Haag) to sell them for EUR 29,95. Not sure though yet.

gweeps · 07-22-2008, 10:32 AM

should have been a b-side. It's a pretty good song. Has that sparseness I miss from U2.

"War" deluxe format misprint

It has come to our attention that a quantity of "War" deluxe formats has been printed with an early version of the artwork which contains incorrect track listing and credits for the bonus CD.

The track listing for both CDs on the outer slipcase and on both discs is correct. The error only occurs inside the book. We would like to apologise for this mistake and hope that it does not spoil your enjoyment of the package.
These misprinted books will appear in Europe and some international territories. The USA deluxe formats contain the correctly printed books and are not affected.
You can download the correct tracklisting information in pdf format from here.

The correct track listing is as follows:

1. Endless Deep
2. Angels Too Tied To The Ground (Previously Unreleased Track)
3. New Year's Day (7" single edit)
4. New Year's Day (USA Remix)
5. New Year's Day (Ferry Corsten Extended Vocal Mix)
6. New Year's Day (Ferry Corsten Vocal Radio Mix)
7. Two Hearts Beat As One (Long Mix)
8. Two Hearts Beat As One (USA Remix)
9. Two Hearts Beat As One (Club Version)
10. Treasure (Whatever Happened to Pete The Chop)
11. I Threw A Brick Through A Window/A Day Without Me (Live From Werchter)
12. Fire (Live From Werchter)

The hidden bonus track on BOY is creepy, but very cool. I got BOY at midnight at the Bullmoose Warehouse. Loved it. The Bonus disc is amazing. October is next for me. War will probably have to wait a while, no rush for that one.

Got all three deluxe sets at Virgin Megastore here in NYC this morning; received free pack of buttons (each cover and 1 U2).

morgan1098 · 07-22-2008, 03:46 PM

Are the previously unreleased NYD remixes on War new (ie remixed in 2008), or were they done back in the day?
