Other thread auto-locked so here's part 4! (part 1 / part 2 / part 3)

And we start of with some important news:

Fantastic news for Prince fans who were slow of the mark with Turbine Media’s recent super deluxe of the concert film of Sign ‘O’ The Times. That out-of-print set was tremendous (see the unboxing video) but is now going to be made available again, albeit in a new more compact ‘mediabook’ edition. The content remains the same (restored movie, dolby atmos audio, documentary, hours of bonus interviews etc.) the only difference is that this is no longer a 12″ x 12″ large format package and you get a smaller booklet and no poster.

.
I imagine some of you may actually prefer this DVD-sized package which can slot next to other similar deluxe editions. This ships on 16 December, but just remember it’s still a Germany exclusive and the DVDs and blu-ray are therefore still region locked to regions ‘2’ and ‘B’ respectively.

.

I've been on the fence about this release because it is extremely pricey. And I can't tell if it counts as an official release or not - it isn't the Estate's work (which may be a benefit) and I know this movie had different ownership, but forgot the specifics of it all. That and the fact that there doesn't seem to be any clips of the documentary on YouTube means it's more or less a blind purchase.

The one good thing I notice is that I have yet to see anyone who purchased complaining about it.

It is very good quality, including audio

funny, while it's quite hard to get the original Limited Edition online for a reasonable price, here in Austrian stores they seem to still have plenty. I just bought two more in Saturn in Innsbruck for 59.99 each

And how 'bout that audio commentary by Peach & Black Podcast! Bloody ripper!

My copy just arrived and it is very impressive in both content and quality. Well worth it

That's great to hear. Mine arrives from the UK in a few days.

Has anyone heard anything about a North American release yet?

It is European only. I asked that when the original release was first announced because I was concerned about DVD regions.

My copy just arrived and I could not be happier! Every aspect of this collection is impressive. The interviews alone make this worth having. I cannot recommend this product any higher!!

No one cares.

How does this set compare in quality to the Japanese set released a few years back? I have this set and the German one on order but I don't want to fork out all that money just for interviews if the main footage is much the same quality.

I'm still wating for my SOTT set from Amazon UK. It got delayed by a month.

I just got an e-mail from them this morning saying they're still having trouble sourcing it. I don't think it's coming.

I got the same email. I had no idea they were scouring the earth looking for one until I got the email.

I cancelled my order

So try the German bookshop Thalia : https://www.thalia.de/sho...?sq=Prince – Sign "O" the Times - Limited Mediabook Edition (+ Bonus-BR) (+ Bonus-DVD)&stype=productName It is 52 Euros and I think 8 Euros shipping within the EU ( I don't know, if there are any shippings to the US). Click the button "vorbestellen" (order in advance) to get the item in the shoppingbasket and if you wanna buy it.

Thanks. I checked the site and they do not accept orders from the US. They also have no stock presently.

Where can I get this set if I am in the US? This has been really frustrating..

I've had it on order from Amazon UK for a couple of months and had an email from them today saying they can't get it and so they're cancelling the order. Gutted. Really hope this gets a wider release.

.

Yeah, me too!! Not happy at all - especially when they told me that they won't charge me for the item - when they already have!

.

Am I right in saying that it was priced at £60.50? Can't check as Amazon have now erased the actual order.

.

Please post if you know where to get it now - thank you.

I'm in the U.S. and bought the original release from Amazon.de for €46 when it was first announced here on the org a few months ago. As for the rerelease, is it sold out there as well?

Edit: Just checked Amazon.de and it looks like they are still taking orders for the rerelease: https://www.amazon.de/Prince-Limited-Mediabook-Bonus-BR-Bonus-DVD/dp/B07YTCDZCY/?tag=sdepcwde-21

Thanks for the info guys - just ordered mine from www.jpc.de (cheers mantaray31) to be delivered to the UK for 49 Euros, estimated delivery 13th December - cheaper than from Amazon UK too!

.

Fingers crossed...

The price is now €40 on Amazon.de.

This version seems 2 b smaller.

Mine is in 12" format....just like the Prince estate Vinyl releases..really fat...with a huge booklet...about 54 €.

(I ordered it b4 release date, and I'm from germany)
