    Yep, the 'special packaging'. Th

    e equal sign on the box is not part of the actual box, meaning it's just printed on plastic. You then get the basic horizon photo when you lift that plastic off it. Ah well - I'll know tomorrow what it looks like.

    Edit: Box-set for nine pounds?


    No, that's just the basic CD.

    The box set is coming from Amazon and I've heard nothing (that was what I meant by no sign....)
  2. I 'only' wanted to get the box set, but now I'm contemplating whether to get the vinyl edition, too. I want that massive booklet lol.

    Same here. I'm gonna convince my dad that the sound quality of the vinyl is much better and that we split the costs. I really want that big fuck off cover.

    It sure will be pretty if the ATYCLB booklet is anything to go by
  5. just got back from the german release party.. there was a raffle with some awesome prizes at some point (3rd place LOTS of u2 dvds, cds, vinyls from the last 3 albums if I remember correctly. LOTS of cool stuff. 2nd place was a gibson explorer in black/white and 1st place was a voucher for the first u2 concert in europe). everyone got a number when they entered the club. so, unfortunately, I didn't get any of those first 3 prizes (lucky people who did!), but during the tribute band's concert they got ca 10 more numbers out of the box.. and mine was among them (there were over 500 people at the party!).

    now I got a limited edition of the nloth digi pack guess I won't ever open it since my box set arrives tomorrow, but wow.. I won something

    Congratulations! Nice little prize there - still waiting for the shop to get in the box-set.

    What's the chances of that store getting the standard CD, vinyl, digi-pack and magazine version in, but not the box-set?
  7. I have the box set....YEAH BABY.

    Quite a largish box as well, my local JB still didn't have it, so i called another store, they had it, so i went for an extra 30 minute drive.

    Fuck me, that's massive

    Caution - OT...... Nice pics on the wall in the background Stu. Your own?


  11. I notice it's twice as big (in height) as the JT deluxe box. That's a big box in its own right, so I can guess how big it is. Heavy?
