JimmyBOD Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I posted this in the Best Buy thread but felt it was worthy of its own.... I spotted the Public Enemy 25th Anniversary Box Set pre-order listed for $79! This lists for over $300 and can't be found anywhere for less than $220. Might be too good to be true but I figure I'll get my money back if it's not as advertised... Gotta be legit, right? Got the correct release date and says nine discs. I don't think a CD version of this box exists. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/25th+Anniversary+Vinyl+Collection+%5BLP%5D+-+VINYL/20809739.p?id=2625609&skuId=20809739&st=public%20enemy%2025th&lp=1&cp=1 mameeshkamowskwoz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriss Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 best buy are great with customer service, so even if it does end up a cd boxset, i'm sure a refund would be easy. either way, i pulled the trigger. a few years ago, i played my beat up copy of 'It Takes A Nation of Millions...' too many times to count. Getting all of these is too good to pass up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mameeshkamowskwoz Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I snagged this from Best Buy.HUGE thanks for the notice... seems like they'll cancel the orders, but we'll see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobfrombob Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Only $72 shipped from Barnes and Noble http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/25th-anniversary-vinyl-collection-public-enemy/25376071 THANKS!!! Best Buy US won't ship orders to Canada so I was going to have to drive to Ogdensburg to pick it up. Barnes and Noble are shipping it to Canada for $6. $82 total. This seems like MCIS all over again.

jerseydave77 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Feels odd. I would like it though. I'm only missing Fear of a Black Planet as is. Decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadbluehawk Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Grabbed one. Can't really see a problem returning it if it ends up being cds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonedef Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Doh! Looks like I may have to order this too, seems like a good deal?

vinyl21 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Yeah, the weird thing though is best buy says 9 DISCS and look at the picture above on soundstage and it shows 6 ALBUMS. So the $79 version very may well be the cd version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonedef Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 This should be the Vinyl. I am curious if we will actually get it, many places say its sold out. 1. Yo! Bum Rush The Show 2. It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back 3. Fear Of A Black Planet 4. Apocalypse 91: The Enemy Strikes Back (2LP) 5. Muse Sick N Hour Mess Age (2LP) 6.

jerseydave77 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I went with Best Buy since their description was a bit better. A few bucks isn't going to kill me. I hope this works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 ordered a copy from both B&N and Best Buy figuring if one cancels my order maybe the other one won't. Plus I have both stores local so i can just return them if they aren't what i expect of if i happen to get both. I'm guessing i won't get either!
