It really saddens me how many people that are canceling the 3-disc version are also being upsold to the deluxe box. That really shows them.... that they can keep shafting us by holding the 5.1 mix hostage in the $100+ packages.
I swear if a significant percentage of the people that cancel buy the big box instead it will prove to them that their strategy is right and things will keep going this way.
@Group: Beware of the box set. The 5.1 mix gets worse each time I play it.
KarnEvil9 3rd Impression is unplayable and is an unmitigated disaster. Its almost like Jakko got the wrong bass track and its some fan playing bass along with the track. It is that bad.
Jersulam has different reverb on the vocals a few seconds after the original vocals. It sounds very unprofessional and not natural.
But Benny The Bouncer kicks ass on the original DVD-A!
You guys might be better off passing on this whole mess until Sony fixes the 5.1 mix. Trust me(or don't trust me, I don't care), this mix will go down in history as one of the most controversial and least desired. I gave it an eight in my vote because I, like most of here, bend over backwards to support multi-channel. BUT, the more I play the 5.1 mix the more I want to blow up small countries in anger. Now, I give it a 6. Maybe that is being too kind.
I highly doubt you will feel happy with the 5.1 mix after paying the high price of the box.
I guess every 5.1 mix can not be a Steven Wilson special.
It is a real possibility the 5.1 mix was withdrawn from all the other versions because it was auditioned by insiders and they concluded it was better leaving it out. I am not joking about this.
If I didn't own the first BSS DVD-A 5.1 remix, I would be near suicidal at this moment.
