Well I guess Mike might have just mentioned a new holy grail? 😄

I have the impression that we did not understand each other. How do I take photos of the replaced DVDs for example?

I took pictures and annotated everything with Skitch. It was a pain in the ass but maybe it helps that other person to actually try to understand it.

In Hebrew?

Maybe they just thought it looked cool and used it on their normal merch that everyone was able to buy?

Seriously? They even have replacement? 'Cause it looks like every single box is messed up. And who will pay for the return of the product? I also coctacted with official store and I'm waiting for reply.

It was a very generic email. I am 100% sure they didn't even properly read my initial mail.

It's not a product. It's a Hybrid Theory 20th anniversary superdeluxe edition lol. I guess they think it's a minor problem. But unfortunatelly it's not.

It‘s not even written in proper German. I assume they have that support outsourced and the first reply is just the generic answer they always give 🤷‍♂️

Warner Germany also sent me a generic „if you have a faulty product, please return it and we send you a replacement“ reply...

IMHO doesn't matter if it's 10 or 200 people wit hthe faulty item

I totally agree with you here. Reality is different though. Probably not the best comparison, but in software development it is totally normal that you ignore bugs that just get a low amount of reports. If all clients complain you typically throw all your resources at it and you make sure to fix it as soon as possible.

At the end Warner is a business and I wouldn't be surprised if it comes down to a calculation of "how many people do we piss off to safe money", in which case the number of reports would make a difference (I am exaggerating here, I am sure most people there, like Adam for example, care about a delivering a high quality product without compromises).

instead of bitching and escalating the anger further

I don't doubt that they don't know. There is a difference if 10 people or 200 people complain about a problem though.

Also I am not saying that anyone should bitch around. It is totally possible to complain about the situation in a friendly way which should be the default anyway.

I will update you all guys about the issues on the EU versions as soon as I get any info. And believe me they know about the problem. Stay tuned for the info!

I would argue that everyone who is unsatisfied with the problems should contact them instead of relying on information from other people.

The more people make it clear that they are unhappy with the situation the higher the chances that they will do something.

Just now, rd1994 said:

Did you contact US warner or EU warner? I contacted EU for now.

I used the contact form on the European store.

Wrote a mail to the warner store about the whole EU downgrade situation. Let's see if they have anything to say about it (even though I doubt that I will get a reasonable answer).

From what I have heard The US box has it and the EU doesn'T

P.S. where did joe do an unboxing?

 He did it on Instagram live. It's available on Instagram TV or however that is called. I didn't really watched it, just saw that strap.

To be honest this is kinda unsatisfactory. I feel like the EU got an inferior product which to me is inexcusable at that price point.

I just watched the unboxing video of both Mike and Joe. There boxes both have like a "strip" on the right side that makes pulling out all the vinyls much easier. Is that strip there for everyone in the US? My EU box doesn't have it.

I think the "send e-mail to all subscribers" feature on twitch is just super broken. I don't know a single streamer who uses it.

Most streamers use other platforms like Discord where people can connect their twitch account and they distribute subscriber exclusive content over these other services.

I assume that twitch is not maintaining the e-mail feature well because of the low usage.

Those of you who got the US version of this box, can you tell me if your contents are correct or not?

Because apparently, the Frat Party DVD and the Filmore/RaR DVD got their contents (or printed names) switched.

I wanna find out if this is the case for all versions, or just the EU version (or whatever else versions there are).

So far it looks like it is only a EU problem.

The first song in the "Linkin Park Complete Playlist" on Spotify is Pictureboard. Whoever was responsible for that, it is a really nice touch.

Firstly, I didn't receive this email and I've been subscribed to Mike since the first day. That's strange.

After I missed the first subscriber mail (the font) I found out that there is a setting in your twitch account settings that specifies if you want to receive those emails or not. It was turned off for me. 
If you turn it on make sure it to wait a couple of minutes, refresh the page and check if the setting was really applied. It didn‘t work properly for me for days. I tried contacting twitch but their support is complete trash and they never even read my ticket. Eventually the setting was applied and I never touched it again.

Sadly that won‘t make previous emails appear but at least you can make sure you get all future mails. 

This is so random. Both the sample itself and that he just casually dug up that vinyl today. 

Watching the PR02 show right now. Incredible performance. I am just a couple of songs in but that is probably my favorite HT era show we have. I only listened to it on TV speakers yet but the mix sounds incredible.

Just got my box. I expected a cardboard box but it actually looks a little bit more premium. The book looks super great. Super happy with the whole package in general.

The only thing that bothers me way more than it should even though it is super minor: the Fillmore/RaR and the Frat Party DVDs are mislabeled. So the DVD that says it contains the two shows actually contains Frat Party and vice versa.

So did someone receive tracking code for the deluxe box? (linkinpark.com)

Got my tracking code a couple of hours ago (I‘m in Germany).

has anyone received email with tracking code?
on the website says they would start sending it on October 5th, I still haven't received an email about it .

Got my tracking code a couple of hours ago (I‘m in Germany).

I'm more curious about what lpliveusername asked. Does this mean we'll potentially be able to have separate channel rips of the songs in the way we have the Reanimation channel rips? If so, that's something cool to look forward to.

I think that depends on how Amazon is doing everthing. If they get the source material from the bands that is possible but if they make some magic interpolation "machine learning" whatever stuff with it (which I think is more likely), then probably not.

I think you don't understand what I mean. A remaster song in 24bit will never sound as good as a new recording in 24bit, just as a film upscaled to 1080p or higher will never look as good as a film recorded in hd.

I got that. But comparing that to movies from the 80s in 4k is a bad comparison because those movies exist in 4k quality or even higher.

Your Total right, but they will make a lot of money with this. 

Its like watching a movie from the 80s in 4k....

Bad comparison. If a movie was shot on film, that film most likely holds way more information than you could cover with a 1080p transfer. Transferring old film to 4k or even more actually makes a lot of sense. Here is an article that explains it way better than I ever could: https://www.howtogeek.com/199182/ask-htg-how-can-studios-release-high-definition-versions-of-decades-old-movies-and-tv-shows/
