It's true, sometime in the second half of November, the album will be re-released with an extra DVD included.
The Reality part of the Riverside show is on the DVD, which is Region 2 only.

I liked the original one better. But I'm jsut really happy to have the Riverside show on DVD. The encore would have been nice, though. But it's great anyway.

Better something than nothing.

Yes, of course, and I really enjoyed the broadcast. Nicely filmed and a cool stage design.

hmmm! i think the change in background color lessens the amount of irritation i experience due to the manga quality of his image.


much better.

hated the original cover artwork for Reality. the change in background color lessens my distaste for it.

Feh. The thing's gonna be in Region 2, and I'm not gonna buy another Bowie reissue with stuff I can't play. I'm starting to get a little annoyed with all his reissues these days anyway..."Ziggy" and "Aladdin" were cool, but "Black Tie"? And I always thought one should wait longer than three months before putting out a reissue of one's album. Go figure. Bleh.

I know! I just bought the damn thing and haven't even gotten into it that much! This really sucks but I assume since its only region 2 its for outside America.

maybe, maybe not. these things are often Region 0

My local record store said the release date is Nov.17th.

Plus, if it's not there's always the option of hacking your dvd player to make it region 0 - if you're happy about voiding your warranty.

Also, if you're willing to take a chance it's possible it'll play on a region 1 player anyway. When it comes to dvd regions/formats/compatability it is very bloody confusing. I haven't figured it out yet - I have played region 2 dvd's on a region 1 machine. These were a mixture of dvd's bought in Ireland (same format as the UK, I believe, so that would make them Pal???), and imports. However, not all of the dvd's I brought to the US would play on the region 1 player. I assume the ones that would play were NTSC and the ones that wouldn't were Pal, although I'm not sure. I'll check. Or perhaps someone who actually knows how all this stuff works would care to shed some light.
