I just got online to check out the new album packages and there seems to be so much bashing going on about the prices. Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion and not everyone is saying negative stuff and yeah, any amount of money these days is ALOT of money but.....

And I know alot of people have said great great things about the new packages so to keep that idea going... :) ON A MORE POSITIVE NOTE!

I just have to say that I think Hanson did a great job on these packages. So creative and one of a kind. It's so rare for any band these days to come up with this kind of stuff and THIS MUCH! So yeah.....I just wanted to say thanks!

So if anyone else agrees, awesome! :)

I agree with you completely!  Complaining about the prices is one thing, but not understanding that a custom record player would be expensive is a little ridiculous!  I love the packages too!  I can't afford the $800.00 package, but it seems fairly priced for the content.  My ONLY complaint would be that the headphones are not in the Gold package and/or are not sold separately in the store.  :)

Exactly!!! See, positive is great! I presently can't get the package I want either but I still think they are great and am happy for the people that do get them :)

yeah for anyone who is able to pre-order a package now that's great. In the end we're all getting music so we should all be happy. Even though I have heard some of the songs already, I'm still excited about it. 

yesss THANK YOU for a positive thread! here are my thoughts i pm'd to zac:

i just wanted to say THANK YOU for being creative and giving us opportunities to enjoy your new music and have an in depth view into the creation of it. i'm sure you guys are catching a lot of flack right now but sincerely, thanks for always wanting to give fans new experiences to enjoy your incredible music.

I think it's really amazing the thought that they put into these packages, and how well-rounded they seem. I can't think of anything missing when it comes to the entirely full experience, short of going to a show and buying a t-shirt!

They actually seem like good prices and I understand everyone is upset that they can't afford them.  I will have to settle on the 25 dollar one even though I want the 250 dollar one.  The only thing is I do wish that some items would be sold seperately but even if they were I honestly don't know if I could afford them.

It's nice of them to do something like this. Most bands wouldn't. Hanson are rare. I can't afford it. I'm getting the cd. I'll try to pre-order soon.

AwEsOmE!!!I am so glad you did that. EVERYONE should be this way! lol - haha j/k cause I know I would get my ass kicked but yeah! It's new music....if you can get the awesome packages GREAT if not then you can still get something :)

yesss, my thoughts exactly :)

I hope this thread comes one of the most "active" Everyone should come in here and be positive. IT FEELS GOOD - TRY IT PEOPLE!! lol (not yelling)

I know....being negative takes so much energy :(

I just saw something on a friends facebook page about a pm she sent. Now I am just pissed! WHOEVER IS MAKING ANYONE FEEL BAD ABOUT THE PRICE OR BUYING ANY OF THESE PACKAGE.....GO TO BED AND STAY AWAY TILL YOU CAN COME BACK BE APPRECIATIVE!!!

Ahhhhhhh! Breaking the positive streak *good thoughts* :)

Who is excited for the new music?! Only 2 and 1/2 months :D

I agree with you.The packages are amazing!They really put a lot of work on it...

Wish I could afford it,but i can't,so I'll be very happy with the deluxe package or even just the cd!

Well said Leah!

LOL I just get made when people try and make other people feel bad for being creative. But yes I was SHOUTING IT OUT! :D Thanks for seeing it that way!

I just had a wonderful conversation with Zac through PMs and it explained a whole lot about the packages.

I don't want to go into details because he shared it with me privately, but let's just say they are really excited about the packages.

So we should all be happy for the fact that they get to create such a unique experience for their fans!

And thank goodness we're getting new music!!!  Woohoo!!!

WOOOO. SHOUT IT OUT! 

No problem, Yeah that can be annoying. It honestly took me a minute to realize that we're all going to be getting music in the end, so why complain or whine? There's no point. I will be perfectly happy with the deluxe edition. I would be happy with anything they offered.
