I, too, like to put periods. Into my sentences at inappropriate points.

I wish they'd stop calling it a greatest hits and just call it an anthology already. From interviews, that's clearly what the band considers it.

My coherence is at the mercy of my tiny phone keyboard and thick thumbs, it seems.
And for what its worth I think "Three Sixty. Coming Out" is a much better title. :P

It's probably nothing but...
Anybody saw this? A "6CD release" of A Perfect Circle Live to be release next month?

Maybe they're doing an additional pressing without the signed lithographs and stuff.
Throbbing Member
Well maybe I'm going to be batshit excited if it's true! For 50$? It's WAY to good to be true. Given the whole thing is 80$ on iTunes. I really don'T want to get my hopes up. But I really wish it was true. Let's be patient... again.
Active Member
Most definitely. I'd love to have a physical copy of these albums.
This doesn't seem right because if this is true the box set purchasers basically paid $100 for a frame, guitar pick and signed lithograph(s).
Stubby Member
So, what you're saying is, it's almost definitely true?
Yeah sadly nothing surprises me with this band anymore.

I got fucked! lol

I kinda thought it was weird when they were talking about this "limited release" of a concert film and copies of all their albums performed live. I mean, I really do believe they were intended as a limited release.
Then it sold out quick despite the cost. So they decided to do a digital release. The copies of which started to chart on Amazon and iTunes. So they'll offer a cheaper version of the box set--maybe.
If it is, I'll bet good money it's a standard slip cover or multi-fold digipack with the albums and video included.
So I'd say the people who got the early edition are still going to get a resin (right?) case, the signed stuff, and a guitar pick.
I'll take this chance to say that I have no idea what sort of money the band is making off this. I've kind of even wondering. They're not collecting royalties on the covers. They're probably making a whole lot of nothing from Three Sixty (since Virgin owns the recordings) hence "By and Down" being album only. And who knows if the band has debt from the tours or the albums.
Eh. This might be a cash grab. But who the hell is bankrolling these guys? A Perfect Circle is its own entity now.
Edit: Now someone tell me why I'm wrong.

...So, would anyone who ordered a box set and feels sour about it wanna trade it away then, or...?
You still got a pretty rad collectible. I'm still kinda jealous that I didn't get one.
Stubby Member
Yeah, we can't really whine. If we don't want it, we can sell it for $300-$600 on eBay right now.
Honestly I would consider it. I'm not a collector of things in general and really don't care about much outside of the actual audio/visual content which I've now already fucking purchased digitally anyway.
Pretty sure it's going to greatly devalue once people get wind that they can buy physical versions of the content for $50.

I bought nothing yet. I will buy something eventually.
Active Member
Yeah, I can definitely see where that would rub people wrong. Like you said, it'll be worth next to nothing to a majority of people outside of the few who are suckers for limited-run things. If you're serious about wanting to make some money back, I'd be willing to match what you paid in exchange for your box set. (Assuming this other cheaper box set turns out to be a legitimate thing.)
Active Member
Me personally speaking I don't really care for any of extra nonsense. Hell I might (key word) even sell it to ya but if I had knew there was a regular set without all those shenanigans I would have opted not to buy this limited set. I bought it with the notion that this was going to be the only physical release of the live albums. At least that's how they wrote it originally. Big difference between paying $150 +shipping and now the ability to buy it for $50 and using my Amazon Prime account.
I will say that anyone who is considering purchasing that thing from Amazon should do it now. Worst case it ends up being fake and they refund you (which I doubt) but if it is real they are really good about honoring prices so even if it goes up you will have snagged it for the $50.
Active Member
Yeah, I hear ya. I feel like what gerbil said is a pretty good guess as to what's going on.
Again, though, I'm not really gonna place any blame or anything anywhere until we have some kind of actual confirmation that they're actually doing this, and that it's not just some other falsely-advertised product that doesn't exist.

That was a serious question, by the way. Does anyone know who's bankrolling the tours and production costs of these things?

26 shows in 2011 with 150+ people paying for VIP tickets a show plus the shows being pretty close to sold out. I think 2011 paid for itself.

Bands typically lose money touring. They recoup from SWAG. That's why I asked.
Billy Howerdel fanboy
That huge visual production APC put on in 2011 probably cost them a ton of money. ;-)
I don't think Maynard would have done the tour if the band wasn't going to make A LOT of money from the tour. Which is probably one of the reasons for the $175 to $300 VIP/Wine tasting packages.
They aren't going to Australia if they aren't making money.
They aren't going to Brazil if they aren't making money.
Puscifer making money on tour is a different story and that seems to be his labor of love and he doesn't care if he makes money off of it.

I think you could rephrase this:
Typical bands lose money touring.
APC would not lose money touring with these ticket prices and this turnout. In fact, I think you could safely say they made bank, especially given the SWAG.
Stubby Member
Swag is free stuff. (Shit we all get.) You guys are thinking of merch.

So that Amazon listing says 6 discs, if a $50 set has more content than the $150 set I will be PISSED.
