ITEM (U.S.) DVD RELEASE

Greetings fellow fans. Can anyone confirm that the U.S. release of "Item" DVD DOES NOT CONTAIN THE VIDEO for "Waiting for the Sirens"? I read a review on Amazon that mentions the video is no where to be found. I see it is listed on the UK release. Cheers

I will be buying this tonight at midnight PST. Will return here and geek out.

according to amazon, mine should be arriving sometime between the 23rd and the 27th. bit of a wait then.

The local wrecka stow is getting a few copies. I'll pick it up tomorrow on the way home from work.

grrr i dont know where to pick one up around here. that sux. im probly gonna have to wait for a while till i come across it randomly some day. cuz i dont order stuff online cuz im so lame i guess. idk. ill go scour Fry's and Best Buy and the like and see if they have it

where are you getting it from Spencer?

I *was* going to get it at the Virgin Megastore in Hollywood as they stay open past midnight on Monday nights so you can buy the new Tuesday releases. Unfortunately I passed out and will now have to wait til my lunch break to buy it like normal people!

I'm getting skeptical about finding a copy locally. I'll be doing some driving around and calling today, but I went to Best Buy's website and it listed it as "available for pickup at most stores" - but when I plugged in my zip code it showed "unavailable" at every store in the entire state of Ohio.

Nice.

Seriously!! I'd laugh right along with you if it weren't so depressing :)

I remember when the new Wire album came out a couple years ago. Nobody around here ordered any, and I only came across one person who'd even heard of them. I don't know what I'd do without online ordering.

Picked up my copy this morning, and YES, it does include WFTSC.

What about disc 2?

Yahtzee!!

The fourth place I went had one copy.

Borders for the win. I'll remember them for this.

Disc 2 is "The New Order Story" in all it's uncut glory, with additional footage and interviews...haven't had a chance to watch it yet though...

picked mine up at my local best buy (or should i call it worst buy) after opening it up i noticed as mentioned in another thread that the covers for the cases were switched. it isn't a big deal i thought it was kind of funny...

Here's what I'm most worried about:

Has anyone been able to put it in and make sure Perfect Kiss is the full version and not the edited version that came with International?

edit: just opened mine and the covers are switched too. strange. can't wait to get home and watch

i picked up Item at virgin megastore for 19.99. very nice packaging. it also includes a small booklet with liner notes by video producer Michael Shamberg. he mentions his webiste will have commentary on the videos and some other treats. www.kinoteca.net - nothings up there as of yet.

rich

mine's been shipped. hallelujah.

Where do you live in Ohio?

I got my copy of Item at Magnolia Thunderpussy Records on North High St. in Columbus.

Actually, I got my copy yesterday. Im friends with the employee's there (one of them being a giant NO fan and a DJ at the local Alternative station) they gave me my copy of it early....

Got mine today. $17.99 at Newbury Comics in Rhode Island. Covers switched here too.

Amazon confirmed me that my copy was shipped...

It says....IMPORT...hope it's the UK version

Don't hate me cause I work at a record store

But I talked with the local Warner (WEA) rep. She had been at meetings in New York and got a promo copy of "Item" Pretty good chance that whenever she comes in this week-that sucker is ALL MINE!!!!! :P

Mine were switched also. I admit I had a quick panic attack when I opened the first one fearing that the other disc was going to be something completely different, like Yoko Ono, Live!. Thank God it was just reversed. Whew!

My local Best Buy was the only place I could find 'Item.' I looked all over. The distribution seems rather poor! Best Buy only had ONE copy, and I was happy to grab it for $19.99.

i picked up my copy at the local Tower Records. they had about a dozen copies, and the price was $18.99.

the DVDs were switched in mine as well. also, the little booklet for the Collection dvd was in the New Order Story case. someone messed up in the factory!

another thing i noticed was a little skip in the first few minutes of The Perfect Kiss video, right around where Gillian turns on one of the sequencers. it's very slight, but definitely noticeable.

in addition, i'd like to add that i enjoyed the new Ceremony and Temptation videos very much, although they don't feature the band at all... well at least the Temptation video loosely features the 12" for Temptation

Ahh...so that skip wasn't my imagination. I just finished NewOrder Story a few minutes ago. I recommend watching that first. Otherwise you're watching lots of the videos twice.

First I would like to say, what a great dvd. I dont know what was added to story??? Seems like the UK version to me.

And 5.1 Sound!!!! Wow my living room never sounded so good! Well Story was only in 2.0 sound.

I liked the two new videos. Ceremony was funny since he was just walking in front of a screen.

I dont know if anybody noticed but the 5.1 sound in the "more" section is not even with the picture? Sterio is, but 5.1 is about 2 seconds off. You cant notice on Ceremony & Temptation, because the image dosn't need to match the sound, but when you watch Regret Baywatch, Barney is not singing along with the song. And the same goes for Temptation live 83.

And yes my dvd's were switched as well. I bet it was done on purpose to stop people from selling them separted.

The 5.1 sound makes it totally worth it! Depeche Mode & Petshop boys should take notice!!!

i apologise in advance if this is a stupid question, but on amazon.com "item" is listed as "a collection" with the review stating that it is a 2xDVD set.

has anyone actually ordered "item" through amazon.com, and if so, was it in fact "item" that turned up in your mailbox or "a collection"?! hope this makes sense, i'm confusing myself...
