It's just a more dedicated fan edition. As far as I recall, the Dylan Jones edition of From the Ground Up wasn't a big seller. It's just a different edition, no one is getting shut out.

I will surely NOT pay 40$ for this. PLUS another 23€ later, to get a BluRay.
It's like with From The Ground Up - _I_ can read it in English, many others cant and need to buy another one in their own language, if they care about the text in it.
I pretty much guess, there will be a normal release, recording and producing plus the extra costs for the extra gig -> they need the release to get the money back.
So subscribing for this DVD, is like Deanallison fears: paying 40$ for a different booklet or packaging.
Like we did for From The Ground Up. Different cover, some pics and a CD - which was obsolet, because of all tracks as downloads.

Some other groups you can also buy a subscription to have a reduction in the fan shop (hey we have that also), and to have a presale (also something U2 does).
So better be happy with what they give and not complaint about it.
BTW, whatever they give there will always be pro-fans and contra-fans. So just be happy and enjoy what they deliver us. And I hope we will have the dvd pretty soon.
