By the way, did anyone see the excellent film of the Beatles first U.S. tour in 1964 made by the Maysles brothers?
It can still be found on BBC iplayer - [www.bbc.co.uk]
Fascinating stuff!

They have the whole stereo set for $199. I half-assed figured it out that it's cheaper to buy them individually than the box set...
The mono set is going to $249 or something extremely high like that. I was hoping they'd be offered as a stand alone item. Who in the right fuucking mind is gonna buy BOTH box sets? I can't afford either one of them.
The video game - ha ha. I really don't get that. I don't have one and never will. I like to listen to music, not karaoke the hell out of it with some shitty little 'guitar' or whatever with talentless people.

Another reason to buy the box sets is that they have the bonus documentaries that are not on the individual ones, and more expansive liner notes as well. For a limited time.

I don't think I can shell out for a box set right now, either, but I'm definitely gonna buy SOMETHING on Wednesday. Maybe Past Masters. I think that might make a good sampler as it spans their entire career.
I don't really get the video game myself. My wife had to explain to me what it is and how it works. Apparently, it isn't EVEN as good as karaoke because you don't even hear yourself "playing". If they had it set up so that you could hear the sound of your own "playing", be it good or bad, mixed into the Beatles performance, and making THEM sound either good or bad, that would be pretty cool. But apparently all you do is press the buttons they tell you to press and the sound is the same regardless of whether you do it correctly or not.

how the hell did they do that? After they've crossed the street and John and Ringo turn around, that is definitely Ringo.

I'd like both boxsets, but that's a lot of dough! I'm wondering too if the 'extras' in the stereo box are worth it, seems buying them individually might be cheaper.
As for the game...yeah, you don't actually hear what you're playing...if you play it right, you hear the correct music...if you play it wrong you hear kind of a 'plunk' sounds instead of the music. I probably wouldn't bother with the game except I get such a kick out of watching my 8 year old sing all these songs that I grew up with while he recruits his friends to play drums and guitar to them!
