Oh. Please. Stop!
A LOT of Doors fans are sixty now, not six.
I'll buy this for the music. I'll be embarrassed about the container.

I'm really tempted to pick this up! It's been ages since I listened to the Doors, this might be a great way to revisit their catalog.

I did use the CD in that to make a CD-R for the car while I listened to the DVD but never listened to the CD itself. That's the music business. I ordered it but may never even play the CDs unless I decide to make a CD-R for the car. It would be nice (at least from my point of view) if they dropped the list $5 for each disc and didn't include the CD but it's not going to happen. I'll take good hi-rez of mainstream stuff no matter what format (except for DualDisc). The pricing may drive me away from a couple of things but I'll live with it as it's better than not having hi-rez.

If nothing else, it’s nice to have them to be able to rip to an iPod yet still retain the remastering.

Re: The Doors - Perception CD+DVD-Audio Box
Felix,
All I can say is “WOW!!!” Thanks for the in-depth review for the Perception box set. I had a lot of questions going in, but I went ahead and ordered it anyway thinking that someone on these boards would review it and give everyone the head’s up. While I’ve never been a huge Doors fan (i.e. someone that can listen to an entire album all the way through), I do like a handful of their songs and hearing those that I like in glorious hi-rez was enough to put me over the edge, especially given the dearth of hi-rez releases this year. Thanks again!

?? CD is only, and can only ever be 16/44.
If it's not worth waiting until the last minute to do, then it's not worth doing.

Re: The Doors - Perception CD+DVD-Audio Box
Sounds like the first album suffered from the same fate as one of the sides on Miles Davis' "Kind Of Blue." Great that it finally got corrected!
In reading some of the feedback on the AVS thread, I have one question…are the discs true “Dual Discs” with all of the mixes (redbook, DTS, DD & DVD-A) on one disc or are they “Double Discs” with redbook on one disc and the DTS, DD, DVD-A mixes on another?

Re: The Doors - Perception CD+DVD-Audio Box
I saw the same thing on my Denon 2910, but figured that I needed to hit the "audio" button to change the options.
I've only listened to a few tracks, but from what I've heard, the DVD-A tracks sound NICE.

Enjoy!

Wel, I don't have my DVD-A player hooked up for surround, only stereo, so I was just wanting to check out the surround mix.
