RuBen_Kenobi 20 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 They still sell CD's in the store in Spain?Yeah, luckily, since I work selling music and movies . Doesn´t in Holland??Yea, I almost want to return it and get a jewel case version from Amazon UK instead.The funny thing is that in Spain (and I thin in the rest of Europe), the digipack is 2 euros more expensive than the jewel one...And the booklet of the deluxe edition has the same number of pages than the normal one, only changes the front and back covers (a pic of Kylo Ren and the Logo of the New Order, I think).

Jay 39,585 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Guys, Disney makes money on this. Youtube puts ads in front of the videos, Disney and Vevo gets a cut of the ad revenue.Of course, if you use an ad blocker you never seen youtube ads, but there's still plenty of people who don't use ad blockers out there (for some reason) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rough cut 1,743 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Picked up my copy! Had planned to purchase the standard edition, but in the store decided to go for the deluxe package. I figured it's worth 5 if I can help send a signal that releasing a JW-album in a deluxe package is actually a GOOD business strategy.Maybe next time it'll even have an extra disc of goodies!

Is this a first?I mean seriously how on earth will soundtracks in future sell?Is this an unprecedented step?It's no different than streaming on other streaming services. Pay to play.

I really hate the software these companies make you use to download your music, but whatever, I can use whichever cover I want and I don't have to deal with a stupid digipak!Too bad they didn't take the opportunity to reissue the old scores in high res as well. I had thought they might based on the blu spec CDs they released in Japan. Oh well, maybe they'll have better (Matession-ish even!) masters by the time they get around to it. Think of it! Complete, chronological, perfect sound from the best elements, high res files in both stereo and surround and comprehensive liner notes to match! If any series of scores deserves it...
