As a student, I can't justify that price for songs I already own, and a live show I've already heard. It also seems like a label cash grab, especially given some of the comments the boys have made in past years regarding greatest hits compilations.
If there's a tour, I'll support it, but count me out of the retail.
If this was nothing more than a greatest hits compilation, I'd totally agree with you. But I get the impression that the band, their management, and the label worked together to make sure there was plenty of extra stuff thrown in for the hardcore fans. Yes I already own all the hits, but that's not why I'm buying it. I'm forking over my cash strictly for the two new songs, the fully mixed & mastered live concert DVD (a first for the band), the 48 page book, the 23 videos, the 50-minute "Macroscopic" film (whatever that is), and the 11 new video pieces. This is all stuff that I don't have, and as an obsessive collector I'm looking forward to finding out what all the extra bells and whistles are. Hell, I'd pay $48 just for the book and the live DVD.
Only 26 more sleeps!!!
