PREORDERING FOR SURE! :shock:

HMV finally posted the info (link taken from Moletown)
http://www.hmv.co.jp/news/article/708310161

5 CDs and DVD content are
ALL singles/b-sides
ALL PVs
from their time with King Records.

Oooo, so we get Monochrome Lovers and Girldfriend finally. Awesome! 8) However, I don't think I'll be getting this. $100 is just too much to spend when I already have most of the music on CD already, and all but two of the PVs on my hard drive.

So you're paying over $100 bucks (including shipping) to see a few rare PVs which will most likely be uploaded by some dudes in Japan.

I don't see how that, for a rabid pillows fan who already has all of their singles, b-sides, and the majority of their PVs, will be a good deal. :?

Oh come on Grey. This is the closest any of us will get to owning all hte singles. Why the hell do you buy any album? I don't see how that, for a rabid pillows fan who can easily just download the songs off the internet anyway, will be a good deal. :?

In other words, shut up.

Of course I'm for legitimately purchasing official merchandise. I have AMAP, Living Field, Little Busters, 916, Delicious Bump Tour in USA, LOSTMAN GO TO AMERICA, Non Fiction, The Third Eye, Shiroi, Scarecrow, and Ladybird Girl.

It might just come down to the presentation for me. If it's just a pack of discs with a decent box, then no. But if it's really well done, with at least some aesthetic value, then I miiiight reconsider.

I just don't want to pay so much money for something that I know I will extract a few bits of content from, and then let sit on my shelf for who knows long.

I'm hoping the box shots appear pretty soon.

Meh. I already own AMAP among tons of other pillows things as well, but it's silly to just brush this off as "Oh god I don't want to spend 100 bucks on a full DVD and 5 full CDs." (Protip: you save a shitload of money with this since the singles are getting almost impossible to find without paying an arm and a leg to get them). It's a little silly to say that you MIGHT consider buying something only if it looks pretty. D:

Whatever. To each their own; I already placed my preorder.

1) Yeah, you'd save a lot of money...but in terms of scarcity and "value", there's no contest between the original singles and this re-release. To throw this way out of proportion, it'd be like saying you should spend a lot of money on a print of the Mona Lisa because buying it otherwise (the original painting) would be really really expensive and difficult to get.

2) People buy art because it looks pretty. What other function does it serve? And yeah, that's expecting the presentation of this release to be pretty fucking awesome. But I can at least hope, wait, and see if it includes any other bonuses.

Well, as I don't own any cds before Penalty Life, D: (I own PL-WU3 plus Third Eye and Non Fiction singles) and while I intend to purchase Smile, PML, and Little Busters, maybe Happy Bivouac and Living Field, the whole bit about dropping a lot of money on singles with 2-3 songs on them is basically a no-fly zone for me. Yeah, some of the single art looks pretty cool, (like Rush, Carnival, No Self Control) but I don't [i]need[/i] to have them individually. It'd just be me staring at it, going :eh:, thinking, "Did I really pay $15 for this?" Of course, depending on the person, it could easily be, "WOW, I only paid $15 for this!" but I am not that person.

So for me, this would be a pretty sweet deal. The PVs make it a sexy deal. ^_^

Tower Records alsohas it available for preorder.

http://www.towerrecords.co.jp/sitemap/C ... ORT_CD=101

But, it says that it comes with 4 CD's? But, it comes with 5, so I'm not too sure about prteordering it from there now.

I'm getting it, don't care what anyone says. :P

17 dollars per disc (CD/DVD) is a great deal, thinking how each album/single/DVD disc costs more than that. I'd rather have the actual DVDs then leech off someone else. All the singles on [b]5[/b] discs and all the KR PVs on one DVD? Why not? 100 dollars?

Just save up 10 dollars a week and you should have enough. :eh:

I don't own any of the singles, and the idea of having all the PVs on DVD is very appealing, so I just might buy this.
