Too bad the Rush MVI sounds a little 'off'.
I will tend to agree with those who have said MVI won't last long in it's current incarnation. Too expensive to not at least include a CD. And by not including a CD, most customers will likely be confused. I looked at the Linkin Park MVI and didn't realize that there wasn't even a CD in there. Honestly, the packaging and the extras can be really neat; but a CD+DVD 2 disc package is really the way to go.
FWIW, I just hope to seem more of these come out with at least high-quality surround mixes in DTS. (Though, I do wish they'd throw in the hi-rez DVD-Audio, too!). However, I fear most will simply be 2-channel like the Linkin Park MVI.
Oh, well... hopefully that Donald Fagen MVI comes out with DTS or DVD-Audio 5.1 surround mixes of Nightfly, Morph The Cat, and the other album (I forget). I need those since I wasn't a big enough fan to actually buy them when the DVD-Audios were easily available. If I could get all 3 for $25.00 or less would seem like a good deal. But I'm a surround fanatic. I'm guessing most consumers will ignore it unless they're hard-core Donald Fagen completists.
Edit: Maybe I was wrong about the Linkin Park MVI not including a CD? Amazon seems to say it has one? Oh, well... without any 5.1 surround mix of the album, I don't really care.
