Thanks for the extra information Joey.
I notice Amazon UK have now put the price down to £109.99 which is roughly $140.
It does seem that the DVD and Blu-Ray are identical from the listing there too.
Value for money?
I admit it does look tempting to immerse myself in the whole "Pepper" experience. I am looking forward to a summer of all things Sgt. Pepper.
But I already have the mono versions of Pepper and some of the video. I find it interesting listening to outtakes once or twice. But will they hold my interest for any longer than that?
So at the moment I am torn between just getting the 2CD package to hear a fresh sounding 'Pepper' for the 21st century. Or do I go and treat myself to that box set?

Well, the box is impressive. I will definitely buy it. On the other hand, I am a little disappointed that they did not include a disc of the album with Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane incorporated into its track list as well as being on the bonus audio discs. It wouldn't have done any harm. I have just received my copy of the Flowers In The Dirt box set and the first thing I did was to download the downloads only tracks, burn them to CDRs and put them in the box. I might do the same with my own alternate version of Sgt. Pepper when I get the box. I put the entire Box of Flowers In The Dirt into my iTunes Library so I can play it from my computer but I am not able yet to transfer it to my iPod Touch 6 which is kind of concerning me. People way more tech savvy than me say if you get FITD to your iTunes Library then you should be able to transfer it to your iPod or iPhone. I asked because when you download the songs using the access code card that come with the FITD Box, a window pops up saying that you can only download and play these on your laptop or desktop computer. I was assured that no, get them to iTunes Library and you can then do with them as you please(subject to all laws on copyright). Well, I got the entire Box contents to my iTunes Library but now can't get them transferred to my iPod so I can play them in my car or over ear buds when walking. I am glad to read KC that you were able to burn them onto a Disc which is what I will try next but I really want the entire Box on my iPod since almost all new car companies(except Nissan) are eliminating CD players in cars as standard options. Get on one of the tracks and then you can go to file in iTunes and select covert. AAC tracks will load on your iPod. There is no need to convert the high resolution tracks that are the same as the low resolution.

It's All Too Much was recorded at the same time as Pepper. It could go on the bonus disc. Hey, while we are at it, why not this song too. It's the McCoys! Best know for Hang on Sloopy and the band Rick Derringer came from. This popped up on my iPod today.
