I think it's just a coincidence that Michael's 3 Disc video boxset is released in the day JFK was asassinated on 22 November. Michael has released a couple of things around that date, ie the Dangerous album was released on 21 November 1991, and Michael's Number Ones album was released around a simular date. The whole JFK connection is just TMZ hyping a connection up out of nothing.
I will most likely buy the new DVD boxset. I hope a Blu-ray edition is released as Michael's music videos should be seen the best HD resolution. I hope some edition behind the scenes documentaries are added to the DVD box set. No actual details have been released by Sony yet, so I also don't get way some fans are being so critical of Sony.
I don't see Sony cashing in on Michael. His legacy has to keep on being marketed to keep Michael's memory alive around the world, not just among us fans. Sony only own about two or 3 of Michael's music videos, the whole other majority was owned by Michael through MJJ Productions.Inc. So Sony can't do anything with Michael's music videos without the permission of Michael's estate.
If some fans feel, that Michael's legacy is be being marketed in a lazy manner with just rehashing already existing music videos in a 3 disc boxset then they may have a point. But it's best to save any criticism of this release until we get official details from Sony. It's also a fact, that when Michael was alive, fans were already critical of some releases like The Ultimate Collection boxset and Thriller25 and even the Off The Wall 30th Anniversary Edition when it was first announced, saying Sony were cashing in and that they won't buy them even though Michael was behind those releases. Nothing has changed there, and even when an album with unreleased songs is eventually released, some fans will still say Sony are cashing in and they won't by the album etc. But I don't want Michael's music and videos being left to rot, like Prince has left his albums and videos from the 1980's and early 90's.
