The price may have made me cry, but the cd itself is pretty amazing. The cuts from concerts all over the world are great! There's alot of music here, and its all amazing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Daft price, December 17, 2006

By	Mr. David Halliday (Ilkeston Derbyshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a superb set and the concerts themselves are excellent but to be honest American fans are being stuffed a bit by the ridiculous pricing of this package.
This has been on sale here in Europe for a little while now at around Ł65.00,( about $110.00), so $170.00 is steep, even taking import costs into account,($60.00 p&p?!),
The problem is that it has all but sold out now in Europe and is just about impossible to track down. Your only options are to try the official Rammstein website and see if they can deliver to the states, E-bay at equally high prices or give in and pay up for this.
The one comfort if you feel you can't live without it is that it is a quality package and the book is very well laid out. If you're not too sure then go for the 2cd 2DVD package that includes the interesting documentary, you miss out on the book but thats all, and an extra $100 or more is a lot for any book.
To be honest I haven't written on the U.S Amazon site before I just felt it was a shame that American rock/ Rammstein fans weren,t being dealt with fairly with what is a great release.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not very expensive when broken down...., January 14, 2007

By	Derik Koch-DeWitt - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm a huge fan and purchased this because it's a collectors item and I was willing to pay the price. As stated in a previous review, if you have a region free DVD player (or a DVD-ROM drive in your computer), playback of the imported PAL set is not an issue. After researching, I was able to find Volkerball for $118 (US) plus shipping. After getting it in my hands and taking a look at this edition, I started thinking about the cost. The cost of the average newly released 2 CD set is approximately $25 to $30. The cost of the average newly released 2 DVD set is approximately $30 to $40 dollars. So separately you'd be looking at $55 to $70 just for those items. Add to that a 200 page collectors edition hard bound glossy photo book, and in my opinion, the asking price is not that outrageous. For those that want the music for a lower price, there are also Standard (1 CD / 1 DVD) and Limted (1 CD / 2 DVD) edition sets available for purchase.

All that being said, the concert footage is outrageously intense and I loved every minute of it. The making of Reise, Reise documentary was interesting as was Anaconda in the Net. I've been listening to the CD's for about a week now and plan on listening to them quite a bit more.
