MIC Price Discussion Thread.

[Pretty Funky]

Try the canadian amazon site. It was cheaper there.

Still is cheaper - when converted into US Dollars the price is $110. But saying that the box is definitely $145 *supports* peoples position that Capitol and The Beach Boys are trying to forcibly rape us.

And for the fourth time, it will be cheaper at importCDs.com

$104.99

Ok. I started a thread for the SMiLE box when that came out, so will do the same now. Hope someone can save some $ using it.

Deeper look at "(Wouldn't It Be Nice To) Live Again"

[MBE]

David of the stuff on the box set, are there good examples of Brian or Dennis in-between voices so to speak?

[DMBeard_13]

the A Capella stuff goes a long way in that regard

[ontor pertawst]

What did you make of the selection of live cuts? Any standouts?

[pixletwin]

Thank you for the analysis Dave. Can I persuade you to give the two versions of California Feelin' the same treatment?

*prays*

This'd be better in one if the general MiC threads, aye, rather than a specific MiC price thread? Shame to derail…

[bluesno1fann]

can anyone get the Australian price?

[Disney Boy (1985)]

My Amazon UK account is still saying £56.57. Whether this is because I pre-ordered it early I do not know (when I initially put the order through it was priced at over £100). Personally I would recommend pre-ordering it from Amazon UK as - from my own experience at least - once this has been done, the price seems to repeatedly decrease.

Disney Boy because you have pre-ordered it from amazon whatever it was priced at when you put the order in is the maximum you will be charged even if the price increases. However as the price then lowered, amazon will then honour the lower price even if it then rises again.

The price difference between the UK and US Amazon sites is ridiculous -- because you don't pay VAT outside the EU
its a great deal if you live in the States and the shipping is reasonable too. I've gotten some good deals on media
buying at the UK Store. Will buy again.

Will Region 2 CDs play okay in the States?

Um your joking right? CD's have no region coding like video discs.

I have a region-free DVD player so I can play DVDs from anyplace.
I bought the Brian Wilson Songwriter DVDs @ Amazon UK.

Aye, joking of course.  I have a small stack of Region 1 DVDs which I can't play as I can't find the right hack for my 5.1/HDCD/DVD player (which anyway isn't plugged in at the mo').  One day we'll be free of the curse of bootleg-encouraging Region Coding…

Yeah region coding is pretty dumb - especially when its easy to defeat. Mine is an old Lite-On brand unit known for its "secret menu" you dont need a firmware update, just punch in a code on the remote and its done. I like that old player so much I even had it refurbed with a newer and better drive it just keeps on going.

I've used this site a couple of times and they are pretty good. Bit pricey at the moment so waiting for JB hifi or the like next month may be the best plan.

[jimmy1949]

Hello.. I haven't posted in a long time..Anyway,my price for MIC at this moment is $130.50..I hope it drops as I'm also ordering that new Dylan Bootleg Series #10..

Seems to be the case for unreleased product however I ordered the C50 album for 2/3 the full price and it was delivered 3 days after the release date. Worth checking on closer to the release date IMO.
