NOt sure if this has already been posted

So Media Play is going out of business but they are still getting new releases and they had the limited edition with their boxed sets. After all the discounts (I had a coupon as well), it was about $20 before taxes. I like "Fighting Spirit" and the extras in the box are cool but a big part of this was joing the fan club. What a rip off! They promise at the very least that you can use the message board and that they have a radio station that plays rare remixes and has Madonnac commentary....Well, the radio station just plays COADF and I already have like three copies of that! And the message board isn't working. Suck ass!

yeah, I'm not goin for it.

someone said they're buying it for me...so at least i won't have my money wasted.

I'm sure things like the message board will work eventually.

Nah we all know that chit is belly-up.

Yes, on day 29 of your ICON membership. This thing is such a damn rip-off, especially that journal with "Madonna's sketches for YOUR confessions".

what about the lame story in the picture book?

lol everyone's reaction is a far cry from the heavy anticipation threads that preceded the actual limited edition release.

CinisterCee said:

it is a lame story...love all the pictures though

ehuffnsd said:

The story about the woman who falls on the dancefloor? Yeah, I thought she was on crack! Great pictures. I'm at least a little bit dissapointed with it...mostly because of the website.

It's just like the limited editions of her last 3 albums, though - you get NOTHING for $25US.

VoicesCarry said:

This one was slightly better than the last (I never did buy the special edition for "Music", which was smart!). At the very least you get a bonus track. The packaging is pretty good.

VinnyM27 said:

the packaging is good but i wanted the lyrics instead of the story of the woman on the dancefloor

I think it's so lame to just release ONE bonus track on a special edition just ONE MONTH after the original dropped, though.

ehuffnsd said:

You wanted those lyrics! Janet printed her damn lyrics in the Damita Jo booklet and I was like, "Get this shit outta there!" Some things are better left unsaid.

VoicesCarry said:

Yeah..Sometimes I think she really takes advanatage of us....but I still love her!

VinnyM27 said:

Hey, as long as she writes you poignant thank-you messages on her internet site so you can go AWWWWW.....that was SO NICE

VinnyM27 said:

yeah she does... she's a total domintrix... treats her fans like shit and they all come back saying Please Ma'am may i have some more.

fuck having ONE bonus track.

I think this edition coulda used the Ursher or Mamriuh treatment and seen its release wayyyyy later in 2006 with like 5+ bonus tracks.

CinisterCee said:

Fucking bonus remix disc - it's Madonna, dammit!

VoicesCarry said:

yeah jesus, forreal.

Maybe she'll still do that though.

CinisterCee said:

You know she will

But it will be packaged with someothershitwedontwant for $50.

This is still better than Gwen's special edition for Lamb.

Which was the EXACT SAME CD, but paying more for someothershitwedontwant designed by her.

CinisterCee said:

Those things are still on the shelves

CinisterCee said:

should have 2 or 3 bonus tracks, lyrics, extra photos, membership, and perhaps a dvd of the Hung Up video. i know it sounds almost like a box set, but still.

Was gonna buy it, but if I can't access "Superpop", then I don't think I'll bother. I bought the American Life Special Edition, and was rewarded with freakin' stamps!


However, if I see it for less than $20, I'll probably snap it up.

I bought it. It wasn't that expensive for me and the pictures were alone worth my cash. I *heart* steven klein.

CHIC0 said:

I don't understand people's fascination with all the extra bonus tracks. When you listen to the bonus tracks you realize why they were origianlly left off. Super Pop and Fighting Spirit aren't really winners. And neither was Cyberraga.

Personally, I'd have loved a release with a bonus remix disc, including that Rauhofer mix of Mother & Father. That would have killed it.
