It comes in a standard, slimline flipper 2CD, Sony jewel case, the same their regular CDs come in. But the disc is clearly stickered to say it has regular CD Audio, SACD Audio and SACD Surround Audio.
The Best Buy near me only had 3 copies, and when I first saw the disc it was still in the box on a cart on the floor. It wasn't until later that day (on my way home from work) that they put it in the rack. I might hazard to guess the discs are in the store, just not put in the racks yet.
I listened to the surround mix last night, and it is good not great. The rears are only used for ambience, helping to bring the music out into the room a bit. The sonic quality is typical 2003 live album rock and roll - nothing to write home about. Since it isn't the greatest sounding SACD I wonder why Sony picked this title to relase as their first hybrid SACD (or SACD at all?).
All that said, I really enjoyed the disc. The Zeppelin cover tunes are spot on reproductions, and the classic Heart stuff sounds good also. The near 100+ minutes of the two SACDs combined went by very quickly - so the music is presented well.
