So, am am still undecided:

I like the idea of having 3 bonus songs and a live concert voucher of course. But I dislike the idea of another existing edition with 5 live tracks that are not in the Super Deluxe edition. Also "A Life In Songs"
is old hat and has been repeated on TV already... So if there was a EPK, I would feel ok with that...
(They obviously cannot imagine that fans are able to produce HD recordings of TV programmes on their own.)

The artwork is somewhat cool by the way. I like it. But Goldenheart96 had a picture of the Graceland Anniversary Box from Paul Simon with lots of goodies like hand written lyric-reprint, and other stuff, which really deserves the name Super Deluxe better. But that's the same story as 2009. But this one seems not so overpriced as last time. So they learn obviously...

I really like the artwork, again great work from Salvador Lavado. But we need a correct tracklistening for the deluxe and the deluxe limited. We can see the Bonus tracks, but how many are there on that disc? 8 or 5?

The Life In Songs documentary is really too bad because anyone buying this deluxe set is going to be a big fan and any big fan will already have seen this!  Pointless DVD and as we can see they are going rusty already!

As I can't see the live cd in the box picture... What if the download code is for that same songs that comes with the 3cd version?

Anything is possible.

Seems as this will be a neverending story...ok, it will end at Aug.31st...but I`m afraid, as a (new) hard-core-fan I have to buy both deluxe-boxes, although I don`t like that...But I really like the artwork, and I love the new photo from amazon... I like the shabby room, it matches perfectly with the album-cover, and I like MK, has he lost weight  ;D ?

From Dutch bol.com:

Mark Knopfler komt in 2013 naar Nederland. Datum en plek worden binnenkort bekend gemaakt. Wanneer je nu het nieuwe album reserveert mag je als eerste kaarten kopen voor dit fantastische concert.

Translation:

Mark Knopfler comes to Holland in 2013. Date and place will be revealed soon. When you pre-order the album now, than you are allowed to buy tickets first for this fantastic concert.

I will pre-order tommorow:D

Hate to be a pedant,  but I don't think So Life in Songs has been broadcast in HD....

Haha, you are right Dusty. I checked it and I mixed it up: It was broadcasted on Digital TV and that was probably what I was remembering (wrong) when
talking about HD. Nevertheless, the picture quality is close to perfect on my DVD (on HD flat)...

Please, be pedantic when it comes to MK!  ;D

I really dont mind about the "A life in songs" documentary included in the box, actually I like it, its a nice documentary and having it released officially, althouth as a bonus in a limited edition box, its official.

What piss me off a little is the 5 (or 7) live rehearsals cd that comes with the 3cd version. It looks its only there, as the bonus tracks cd we can see in the box has been stated as "3 bonus tracks cd" in many shops. But, also the dvd has been stated a EPK-DVD and now it turns out to be the documentary (I still hope the EPK is there as a bonus video)

And what piss me off more about that 5 (or 7) live rehearsals cd is the chance that it might be the download that comes with the download code. I know it has been said to be "a download of a full concert", but looks like informations by several shops was kind of inaccurate...

The site from where Llombitos saw the information is from the Rakuten group (www.play.com is from that group) and surprise. it says there are 3 cds, besides the bonus cd, and the dvd is labelled again as EPK-DVD

1. Redbud Tree
2. Haul Away
