J&TheNight Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Well put! Boy am I sick of this argument...I too am far from rich. Having graduated with a masters from University into the current shitty economy i am unable to find work, my parents are elderly and recently my dad becsme v ill and is unable to work. I now support & care for my parents using state welfare which means I am permanently broke. I have many many financial outgoings NONE of which are recreational with the sole exception of Green Day and by that i mean this boxset so dont talk shit about "rich fans". Heating is a fucking luxery in my house these days. As i stated before when Warner promised this exclusive I saved, scrimped and went hungry for weeks so as to afford the boxset. This means more than some of you realise to some of us...we dont all live in mansions and swim in gold. You had fair warning...get the fuck over it already. Damn good post man! You really have it far worse than I do, yet still made the point to try and get this. Honestly, I'm just tired of defending the things I buy to total strangers who are just pissed off they missed out. It sucks, but there is always next time and no one has the right to put down those who got it. It's not a question of fair or unfair, if you and I didn't buy this then someone else would have, if they didn't then someone else would have. These were very limited and that's all there was ever going to be. It was no secret, no conspiracy, just a special gift to those who were able to get it. Nothing to do with deserving it or being fair, it was a special chance and that's it. I'm really confused and dissapointed by some of the attitudes on here about it :l Of course, some are just younger teens/kids and are going to be upset either way, they have that right xD they're kids
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Me? Rich? Ha, that's funny. Nah, I just have a job. Crazy, I know.
J&TheNight Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Me? Rich? Ha, that's funny. Nah, I just have a job. Crazy, I know. woah woah woah. Wait. You mean to tell me that you go out, EVERY DAY, and earn money, like an adult, to buy the things you want??? You... you have to be lying. That's impossible. You MUST be rich in order to buy this $100 box set. You can't earn that money! Clearly it's just handed to you, right?? A Job?!?! Never heard of one, is that something you do as an adult, to earn that funny green paper stuff? Nah I'm just having fun, good on you for working though!

Never heard of one, is that something you do as an adult, to earn that funny green paper stuff? Nah I'm just having fun, good on you for working though! I mean, I'm not dirt poor, but my job hardly pays a lot... I just graduated college a month ago, which I had to go into massive debt to do. But I just don't get how a $100 box set is considered ultra-expensive, when that's just a little bit more than the price of my cable/internet bill that I paid every month in my college apartment last semester... Like, I get some people are struggling financially, and I don't mean this disrespectfully at all, but (at least in the USA) you can start working at age 14 for minimum wage, which is $7-8. Work two weeks, you make enough money for the box set. Simple as that. If it means enough to you, you'll find a way to get it. And if you really don't have the means to pay for it, it will be available online, I'm certain. P.S. I keep checking this thread thinking it will be actual discussion about the DVD, but nooope!

Aha, I doubt we will get any more discussion. I mean, there isn't a lot to discuss! Most of this thread is people complaining they didn't get it and how "unfair" it is. Oh and I totally agree, this shouldn't be viewed as something incredibly expensive, not to an adult anyways. I mean, when you have to pay all the bills and feed your family it's one thing to take out 100 for something unnessecary, but in most cases it wouldn't be a "make it or break it" decision. Well, to actually discuss it, this is due out the 25th right? I don't much more on it, as the highlights were pretty decent. Uhm, do you know how long the full film is going to be?

Uhm, do you know how long the full film is going to be? the 29th for US so maybe the 25th for UK and other countries I'd assume if they do it like they did for the albums and no word for the final but my friend who is an exec at WMG said a rough draft (a non final version) was tad over 2 hours so probally hour and a half to 2 hours

That seems like a great length for it! Surely they can fill 2 hours.
J&TheNight Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Has anyone gotten an email about this being shipped or otherwise? I keep hearing the release date of January 25th, so I'm expecting that email soon.

J&TheNight Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Where you located? They not going to ship 2 weeks advance wait til next monday some people got the emails for the CDs quite a bit early! I'm hoping it'll be here at least on time for once -_- not a week late again. I'm on East Coast
Skull_Throne Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 This thread is starting to sound like this My brain cells are slowly committing suicide. One. By. One...
Annie, get your gun Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 2 hours? I'm not at all unhappy, but 2 hours sounds a little short to show the process of 37 songs And no, I didn't get an e-mail.

BillieJoeArmstrong123 Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Will subtitled? Or at least were believe that will be released subtitled? Hopefully out in Spanish! :c
BasKerplunCase Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Well, I guess I gotta talk about it here cause apparently it's not a different topic! What do you guys think about Quatro being pushed? Maybe they have filmed more footage, like with Billie's recovery. I can't wait for this DVD!

Maybe they have filmed more footage, like with Billie's recovery. I can't wait for this DVD! Promo premiere deal with X-Games. I think they want to put it out there and give a couple weeks for buzz to build before it gets shipped out to the box-set buyers.

Agreed, although having a "premiere" that ostensibly promotes a movie but in reality should promote the albums makes it awfully suspicious that they are planning a wider release... but who knows.
