So, undoubtably the Pink Floyd fans of BZP know of the Why Pink Floyd? campaign, which is the reissuing and remastering of all 14 studio albums, plus 2 special releases of the top three albums they created (Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here and The Wall). The first of them being Experience, with the second being the subject matter of this entry: Immersion.

Now, I may have mentioned it once or twice, but I subscribe to something known as the Zune Music Pass. With this pass, I have access to -all 14 albums- for only $15 a month (I'm still on the old plan, it's now $10, but I get extra perks to that which can be saved for another blog entry) and the first two albums' Experience releases. Not included, sadly, are the content from the Immersion pack. That's fine, I expected that. We are talking over $100 for each set.

Now the conflicting problem: I know I can live without DSOM, I love it and all but I've got the complete album like 3 times over (Studio, Live from the PULSE tour, and live from Wembley Stadium via DSOM Experience). I would love Wish You Were Here, but there is the small issue of one of the discs being Blu-Ray (I do not currently have a player capable of reading this format). The Wall, once it releases later this month, does not have this problem, and it has seven discs (2 for The Wall, 2 for demo tracks, 2 for The Wall, live in 1980-81 and one DVD) but is really expensive being $119.99 as of this blog entry.

Now, what drives my confliction even further? Wish You Were Here is, quite easily, my all-time favorite album from the Floyd. My sidebar with all my interests is a clear indication of that, given I have used its cover to represent Floyd. However, what good is a box collection when of the five discs, 2 I already have via Zune, one of them can't even be read by any device I own, and the last two are DVD format, thus negating using them with most of my technology again. Alternatively, I -can- use all six discs from The Wall, including the live edition, but blaaaah.

... Maybe I should sleep on it? Any ideas, people with enough knowledge in this band to give me helpful advice and what they think I should do? (Keeping in mind it'd probably be 3 paychecks before I could afford even one of them right now.)
