Can you point me to where this is posted on Amazon? I don't see it.

Are you talking about the price guarantee?
If so, if you click the product link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01...=ATVPDKIKX0DER
then right under the price in the upper right corner is the price guarantee link, which drops you down a bit on the page to say this:
Special Offers and Product Promotions
Includes FREE MP3 version of this album Here's how (restrictions apply)
Pre-order Price Guarantee! Order now and if the Amazon.com price decreases between your order time and the end of the day of the release date, you'll receive the lowest price. Here's how (restrictions apply)

No, I meant the product page. I couldn't find it. Thanks for posting!

No problem! Also note that if you buy the big deluxe box via Amazon, you get the digital downloads for free too (if that matters).


On another note, I wish they put the 5.1 surround mix on Blu-ray and not DVD-A. Blu-ray audio is really the best format now. I have a DVD-A player, but blu-ray is really far more accessible for people. Kinda surprised actually...well maybe not.

Does anyone know where the link has gone to pre-order in the UK? The first link is dead?

And the sad thing is it's not even DVD-Audio - it's just lossy DTS on DVD-Video, which is sad given the DVD-Audio master was ceated.

I agree that Blu-ray would have made it more accessible to the masses and I would have preferred it lossless.

You're saying a blu-ray would be more accessible to the masses than a regular DVD, which this is? I would strongly disagree with that. A lot of people own blu-ray players, but a lot more own dvd players. Sure it could be lossless, but then the masses don't really care about that.

I agree with both of you. On the one hand, a release like this should have an audiophile version. On the other hand, the masses don't care and / or don't have the stereo equipment to hear it properly.

I connected my blu ray to my receiver with an optical cable, and left the tv sound of out of the mix completely. I think the dvd mixes sound *amazing* when played through a stereo, with a proper audio connection. They certainly don't sound lossy. But even still, I only have two floor speakers, and not the proper surround sound system that the mixes are designed for.

I've also decided these tusk dvd mixes are superior to the Rumours dvda mixes, insofar as the layers of sound and the work put into them, but I do occasionally find myself disappointed by the alternate bits that were used here and there, such as the opening of Sisters of the Moon.
