Pink Floyd Immersion Sets- why so expensive

No I just kept it in the box unused.

 

I used to wear the Dark Side scarf. Really nice design. The other two are still inside the boxes.

 

I had not compared it to Immersion.

So everything except surround content (Quad & 5.1) is included. All CD, no DVD no BluRay.

This is great for the person who does not do and will never do high-res or surround!!!

 

Exactly. Like me, I don't care too much for it, just prefer unreleased music. Still, the WYWH Immersion remains a nice "objet d'art"...

 

I have a rip of the files, but I want the "objet d'art" damn it!

 

If someone is interested in just purchasing the CD remaster and the DVDs from each set, PM me. That way you can get the stereo remaster and the surround content.

 

Ted,

That's a very nice offer! If I didn't own the DSOTM and WYWH Immersions sets I'd be all over it!

 

They are not looking to reissue ****. At best if they decide they are selling so much that they need to get a piece of it, they will find a few more tracks, tack them on and release a new set hoping everyone will have to double dip. Pink Floyds popularity is going nowhere, this is nothing they need to rush to cash in on....they can play the long game.

 

Just to follow up that I absolutely love the Dark Side Immersion set and am very glad I picked it up. The booklets are excellent and I love the last CD of the early mix and additional bonus tracks. The main reason I love it is the 5.1 mix and the incredible quad mix. WOW!! This is my first introduction to this world and now I definitely want to expand my SACD library. I can't wait to hear Wish You Were Here in 5.1 as well. Unfortunately a few of the CD's and DVD got scratched up during shipping due to the dumb box design but I'm definitely happy I picked it up.

 

If you plan on expanding your SACD and multichannel audio library you better hold on to your wallet ! I had the same mindset about 10 years ago and it's been an expensive ride! But in all honesty it's been well worth it !

 

Thanks, I was noticing that and slightly concerned ! I think my main goal would be to just get some classics and really well done ones. I already gave a massive vinyl collection but the SACD and blu ray audio formats are exciting. I’m thinking about some Miles Davis, Hendrix, and Bob Dylan just to name a few.

 

I didn't realize we could say 'pissed' multiple times on this forum. Good to hear!

 

Well, $182 (includes shipping) for a NM Division Bell Box set! What’s done is done! I figured the ridiculous prices for the stand alone DVD didn’t make sense so why not go for the whole set. The power of 5.1 blu ray audio!

 

I love the Division Bell box set, despite the baffling lack of music videos on it.

 

Any difference in the “remastered” CD or is it about identical?

 

I picked up the DSOTM set a few years ago when I found it on sale for $35 from Deep Discount. Still waiting for a similar deal on the others.
I don't see these ever being reprinted. The only possibility in my mind woukd be a reissue if an Animals box is released, but I doubt it.
More likely would be a new product entirely in a few years. Add a few more outtakes and a new set of trinkets.

 

Yeah, I mean for the fans they should release stand alone blu rays sets of all the albums but once record companies are involved is all about profit. I’m still surprised given the demand they were so limited in numbers. They’re not making any extra money when fans such as myself pay massive amounts for used sets. I just couldn’t see waiting patiently for the blu ray audio to eventually be released.

 

Exactly. It's not like people are buying tons of records and CD's anymore. Except people like us!

 

I never stopped.

 

I just pulled the trigger on DSOTM and WYWH Immersion sets from Amazon.ca. $217 shipped for both to the US.

 

I love Pro’s and Cons but could never get into Amused To Death no matter how hard I tried. I find it to be a weak album and not the masterpiece people rave about. I would consider myself firmly in the Gilmour camp. I do like the live offering by Waters that has Dogs on it and some other nice versions although the female backing singers ruin parts of the songs. For post breakup material I think Gilmour dies a much better job. I also have the Wall live and enjoy that one as well.

 

Listened to WYWH in 5.1 last night and completely blown away!

 

It's the other way around for me.
ATD may be not the masterpiece people rave about but i would definitely not call it a weak album...
Regarding Gilmour's post breakup achievement, the songs and the playing have not improved to say the least.
And giving the wife the lyrics job didn't help...
His main strengths were 1 the guitar and 2 the voice and i do think he went downhill since.
Come on, listen to Faces Of Stone or Any Tongue...
There's nothing there, i'm still looking for the melodies and the solos are desperately tryin' to catch something lost a long time ago.
I think his first album is still the best one, and more than that, the more honest one.
And regarding post Waters PF, i know i'll make eyes roll but i do consider AMLOR their best.
