I'm never happy with re-releases and re-packagings of stuff I already own. Call me crazy, but I don't like spending 40 $ on a new cardboard box, a new 4 minute video and a ton of stuff I already have on DVD or can find on Youtube.

I'm not as good with predictions as some of our insiders here (ha!), but I'll predict this : a lot of people here will buy this on release day, be excited for 30 minutes, and then put it on the shelf and never care about it again.

Let's be honest : how many people bought the TII "soundtrack" only to regret it a few days or weeks later? This is the same thing, but in video form.

And the thought that the new album is now indefinitely on hold because of this boxed set is enraging : all these months of waiting, for nothing! Who knows if we'll even get a new album now.

I don't own every DVD of his music videos, nor does everyone else in the world. This is being released to become the definite choice for DVD for his music videos (Which he is best in music history for creating). Also the One More Chance video is a HUGE bonus.

For those of you just dying to get new material and/or holding the Sony grudge, here's a thought:

We are MJ fans. Like, the big time MJ fans. We have been wanting new material for years and we've jumped at anything new since "Hold My Hand" and the "Thriller 25" remixes. I want something new also, but this is a business, and these are business moves.

The Estate's primary job is the generate revenue. Michael Jackson has so much classic material that new generations of kids are discovering and past fans are rediscovering because of his passing. The interest is in what he has already done, the interest is in the classics. A DVD set of short films is a great business move.

There are tons of old fans and new fans who haven't purchased HIStory on Film vol 1 or 2 or Dangerous: The Short Films. This release is for them, and those of us who want all of the short films in one spot. Of all of the Michael Jackson fans in the world, the average fan will be the easiest to appeal to because they aren't like us. We want everything because we already have everything! The average fan has probably seen this stuff, but now would like to own it. Here's their chance.

Like I've discussed with others, we have to be patient... very patient. Beatles fans just got proper album remasters. True, die hard MJ fans like us make up a fraction of MJ consumers. The estate and Sony has a job to do, and I think they're doing a great job.

That being said, I'm sure someone will be getting me this for Christmas. And I'll be happy with that.

Well, I was afraid of this....

Now, it looks very cheap and as an attempt to sell something to fans, oh... with ONE new video.
What joy!

I personally am disappointed!

Yeah because A new Michael Jackson video is just totally worthless right? Everyone in the world owns the his music video DVD's don't they? ...lol.. Sorry I don't get the negativity for something that is positive.

IMO, it looks like a cheap Chinese bootleg DVD set.

Anybody who is literate in PC programs can create better cover, and burn the videos from net and have it for free, thats my point, they could hire fans to create the cover. (I am sure they paid thousands of dollars for a "professional studio")

I expected such a set to be more professional and "creative".
there are many singers and bands who have really great DVD sets with specials footages, bonuses...

Why they dont release this set with behind the scenes shots like on Dangerous DVD?
 
Don't hope they used the sound of the remastered versions in this, because Billie Jean still sound not sprankling

I think this made to be a "Core" DVD set that I think Hardcore and Casual fans can appreciate. Not everyone can create these DVD's and mind you do the fan made DVD's have Enhanced Color and Remastered Audio? I don't think they can get that.

Now everyone can just buy a single great packaged box set that has all his music videos in the best quality for a very reasonable price. Not to mention the 'One More Chance' video which I'm sure everyone here is very anxious to see..Michael's short films are a great aspect of his art, and I think it's a great move to put it all together and release it like this.

BTW Everyone needs to read what A. Sizzle said (I quoted her/him in my previous post), they sum it up perfectly.

Why there is not the HIStory teaser, or Ghosts full film?
Click to expand...

Because the HIStory teaser is not a music video. And the Ghosts Full film is a completely separate entity, like the Moonwalker film and perhaps they intend to release a Special DVD/Blu Ray Package in the future with the making of and everything else.

I'm hoping for blue ray.

Same here.

Music videos that are missing:
- Ghosts
- We Are The World
- What More Can I Give
- Goin Places
- Whatzupwitu
- Torture (lol)
They should definatily do something with the bonus disc. Add We Are The World, WMCIG & Whatzupwithu. Like I said, they could even fit full Ghosts on the third disc.

Anyway, I'm getting this!

The others I'd like but I really don't mind if they didn't at WMCIG. I'd rather a Full version of Ghosts or Goin' Places.

I hope so. :yes:
 
A friend who received an email from MJ World, and it says more promising MJ projects are to be anounced real soon. How reliable is MJ World really?
 
Some people really need to adjust their attitude. They manage to turn a GREAT news into something negative.

Instead of asking why don't the Estate do this? Why don't the Estate include that? Just be happy that a product like this boxset is made available. You are not forced to buy it. If you don't like it, then don't buy it. But, don't discredit it as a "cashing scheme", "disappointment".

I own close to all Michael Jackson music videos on DVDs and on iTune. But still, having all Michael Jackson short films in one package is a neat idea. I believe I'm among the minority of people who bought every Michael Jackson DVD and video available in store and iTune. The vast majority of people don't own the Dangerous Short Films and don't even know videos of In the Closet and Who Is It exist. Remember some of Michael's fans were not even born when Dangerous was released. Now, the boxset give people a chance to own ALL Michael Jackson videos in one set.

Stop thinking about just yourself. Think about the big picture here. Sony and the Estate need to target to the general public, not just the die-hard fans who viewed every Youtube clips available.

Michael passed away 16 months ago. Some people seem to expect everything from his concerts to studio footages be released within two years of his passing. Is it possible? People forget what patience mean.
 
I'm a happy fan right now.

OMC video AND TDCAU prison version.

Also it'll be great to have Why and APOM on DVD.
 
Calling this a cash scheme when it's part of the deal with Sony is just plain laughable. It's amazing. Even when we get confirmation over a release, people have to bitch about it.

Quit bitching and be grateful we're getting SOMETHING!
 
everybody has his right to have his say = opinion, right?

So, I personally dont like it.

I have Dangerous, HISzory shorts films, original package of Ghosts, Number ones DVD, and many other not officially released DVDs.

As fas as I know, most of fans have them too, at least downloaded via net.

Strategically and commercially, Sony should release really bonuses and unreleased tracks, because only this is really attractive for selling/buying for all fans.
Everything is on the Internet yet...

What I can appreciate is the price, 30€ is a great price.
 
Looks as if we're going to be getting the full-length Bad video as well.

How cool is that?
 
Too bad that the GHOST video isn't the FULL video !! For the rest I think it's a great box and I can't wait for the ONE MORE CHANCE video !! this must be amazing !!!
 
Most excited for..

One More Chance
They Don't Care About Us Prison Version
ANOTHER PART OF ME!!!

Im stoked :)
 
I'm 50-50 about this................

Lots of good points............
1.) Full versions of most Videos
2.) We finally get to see They Don't Care About Us prison version.
3.) There are 3 videos of The Jacksons.
4.) You Rock My World is finally in its complete version.



Bad Points however:
1.) Ghosts is not full version.
2.) One More Chance was always blocked when Michael wanted to release it.
3.) Blu Ray anyone?????
4.) No behind the scenes features that were shown on TV, Making of Thriller VHS or Dangerous VHS/DVD.
5.) There are two versions of Smooth Criminal Music Video....
6.) It is missing the History (Tony Moran Remix) Music Video.
7.) It also misses the "History Begins The Mix" video.
8.) Captain EO anyone?????
9.) And finally it misses out all the videos from The Jacksons "Victory" album and "2300 Jackson St" music video. However, the Victory videos don't actually feature Michael in any of them so it unimportant. And Michael only appears for about 20 seconds total in 2300 Jackson St so that's not important.



Overall, this still seems to me that Sony hates Michael Jackson.............but being the obsessed MJ fan.....I'll probably buy it!!!!!
