Am I the only one around these parts that's just flat out sick of Pearl Jam?

i'm with bilco.....can't they throw in a flannel or something? also, i like to think a band needs to EARN charging $140 for a collectable like this, and frankly, pearl jam has never struck me as a band that's "given back to it's fans" enough to warrant this (ie, how 'bout playing a show every few years?)

Lemme get this straight - 4 LPS, 2 CDs, 1 DVD, a cassette (wtf?) and a bunch of mass produced crap for $140. Let's do the math... Hard to figure the value of vinyl, but they're not touting this as some fancy-ass high-end hydrocarbon. Let's use the a vinyl copy of Abbey Road as a comparison - 14 bux at Amazon, so that's 56 bux, cds routinely cell for 10 bux, bringing it to 76 bux, and a dvd (MTV Unpluggeds are selling between 10 and 15 on Amazon). Maybe 91 bux top, and almost forgot a 'replica 3 song cassette' and buncha printed crap. Oh and by the way - it's the same fucking album on all of these, the one you already have on CD! Extra bonus - Brendan (Wall o Mush) O'Brien doing the producing. $140 ?? You need to be a real hardcore PJ freak to think this is anything approaching a good, or even decent, deal.
