Reply to "US orders of the new re-releases"

I've been trying to figure this out myself. Price is a factor for sure. My music-buying habits are disciplined--I rarely pay more than five dollars for an album--but clearly anything Neil Finn does, and a special release like this, is an exception. Even so, the notion of paying twenty dollars or so for each of seven double-album sets--that would be quite an expenditure, even for what amounts to a seven-disc obscurities collection.

Still, there's no rush, and no harm in waiting to see what prices are available to U.S. fans on release. I'm just hoping I can find some way to keep it under one hundred.

Man. Remember that time a few weeks ago when I was totally patient about waiting to see what prices became available? Those were the days, right?

So the board has exploded, and rightfully so, and I'm trying to sift through all the information to figure out the most cost-effective way in the U.S. to get hold of all the new music everyone else seems already to have. Downloading from Amazon seems like it would cost me just over $100--coming, of course, at the sacrifice of all the new liner notes, which I really want, but won't pay, say, $60 extra to own. But of course the physical copies haven't even been released in the U.S. yet, and maybe they'll be cost-effective bundled.

Has anyone found a particularly good deal? Am I likely to find a better value than the present Amazon downloads?
