As huge as Zeppelin still are (and as big as this release is) I still cannot fathom how this can merit EIGHT different types of packaging and/or contents..?!?
There's CD-sized digipacks, DVD-sized digipacks, blu-ray sized digipacks.. softpaks..bloody hell.. Whats a softpak..?? I'm surprised (for once!) there's no vinyl..!!
could no-one involved in putting this out there have had some conviction and taken a decision to present the sets as one or the other (i.e. a music-only CD release in a CD-sized pack, or a video release in DVD packaging) and then maybe a couple of sets in DVD/BD packaging respectively with CD/DVD or CD/BD in them.. that'd be just 4 different configs, at least.
talk about hedging your bets/covering your bases..!

The question is what the original framerate the concert was shot in, which I suspect was probably 24p (or 23.978) given it's getting theatrical release. If that's the case you want the 24p version as a 25p version will have interpolated frames to make up the difference, or in laymans terms, think about the kind of numeric result you get when you divide 24 by 25 - the answer is a visual mess!
Nothing really radical with the surround, mainly audience sounds.
That is a major concern. The fact that they took the trouble to issue a separate BD-Audio disc gives me hope that they actually took the time to do at least that version correctly. While the BD with the movie having mainly audience sounds for the surround would be disappointing, it also wouldn't be unusual. But releasing a BD-Audio with that type of mix would be criminal. Am I just dreaming, or is it possible that the BD-Audio version might be a different mix? I'm hoping Plan9's experience was more an issue with the theater than the finished mix.
Just got my deluxe 2 CD/Blu-Ray/DVD. Don't ask. Video and audio quality are very good, albeit not much happening in the rears, just applesauce, er applause. I'll wait to hear if there is a different mix on the Blu-Ray-A before I purchase that. The DVD included in the deluxe package is a full dress rehearsal. I'm told the deluxe is the only version which includes that.
