I would probably have passed on the Dual-Disc only release. I need to be able to (1) play the disc in all my CD players, (2) make a backup copy to play in my car, and (3) rip a copy to play on my iPod. There's a chance that format incompatibilities would prevent me from doing at least one of the above.


It seems a number of people I've talked to have not been able to play the CD audio side in their computers, thus preventing IPod copying or other CD copying.

Since it wouldn't play in my car, my laptop or my computer, I brought it back for a refund last night. The clerk said "many" people are bringing these back. And the guy at the register next to me was bringing back the NIN Dual-Disc for the same reasons.

It's hard to believe retailers are going to want to put up with constant returns all the time.

May Dual-Disc die a quick death.

What store? Frankly, I'm shocked they take them back. I would have thought the usual "exchange for the same title only" rules would apply.

Newbury Comics... a (great) mid-sized chain in New England.

I said before that DualDisc is just a gimmick, and a bad one at that. Why music labels feel the need to entice people to buy music with the promise of something other than music is beyond me. While I credit Springsteen for putting the videos out there and the 5.1 mix (Bruce is notoriously reluctant to release more than he has to), I still think Dual Disc is a failed experiment. The industry has to come up with more than gimmicks to save themselves. I have a laundry list of ways to do so, but I won't bore you with them here. Suffice it to say that I don't believe the problems the industry is facing have to do with illegal copying.
