Nice ro hear they are received already in some places.

Can somebody  tell me if the quality of the concert is great in DVD-terms? I know it's not 1080p (still a shame) but I like to know if it's viewable.

Woohoo, I've got a shipping email now too.

It is great.  We watched the first half of the DVD on Saturday night.  It looks great.  It sounds even better.  Personally, I prefer DVD quality to BluRay.  I have BluRays of shows which look too perfect.  It's almost like they're not real.  I prefer the grittier picture.  It makes the show seem more real/accessible.  That is just me.  It's awsome.

The Stay/Faraway So Close perfomance on this DVD is spooky and almost prophetic when they're playing to an empty house.

God, I hadn't even thought about that... spooky indeed!

So, by your own logic, you should prefer VHS tapes to DVDs - even grittier picture! 😄

For BluRays, it’s not just the sharper picture, it’s the better sound too - those are just matters of physics.

However, I’m happy with the DVD for now, especially since I think someday the streaming hi-def version will be downloadable and/or Universal Music will yield to its acquisitive nature and put a hi-def version on the market in some way eventually.

I’m happy that the site seems to be making a real effort this year. As I said earlier, this is their best performance during a non-touring year since the post-U2360 years.

Lol.  I would not go that far.  I don't notice enough between DVD and BluRay for it to matter.  That is my official stance on this hotbed.  😜

Hey y'all ! i've received the shipping email + tracking (that ain't working (yet)) but when I take a look at the order in my profile i've got this "Shipping Method :No shipping" 

Anyone else with the same issue ? it's prob nothing but just in case ^^

I actually have no hope in receiving this gift because you know, it's u2.com, but it still baffles me they gave us a 480p DVD for a show that was filmed in 4k. 🙄
