These releases are somewhat forced by Sony Music?

There will be two more updates to the bonus material with new content. That's the information I got today.

I looked at the bonus content on my phone the day I got the CD but haven't been back since, such was the disappointing thinness of the content.
How would people know if new content is available, without a push notification such as from an app? Just random chance?

Somewhere on the site, you can enter your email address for updates.

Ah, yes! I remember now. I did register but I thought it was the usual mailing list data and I've been on that for years.

I received the LP and 2 CDs in the same package (from EU site) within 5 business days. Quite good for me, but inconsistent based on the comments! Hopefully everyone eventually gets their order!

Very good results for the vinyl. I don't have the CD but yes the vinyl sounds better than Tidal Stream over satured.
My #1254 copy received the October the 8th shows weaknesses in a sort of frequent micro jumps, almost imperceptible in simple listening but with headphones yes, sometimes giving the sensation of a slightly split rhythm or doubled (echo? I don't know how to explain). However, I carefully dusted it with an antistatic brush before listening.
This being said, I did not attempt another listening by repeating the operation.

The digital bonuses are decent but I hope for significant additions soon, such as a downloadable version of the audio in Hi Res with a quality equivalent to vinyl.

Yeah, the audio right now is 128kbps mp3s in an audio player.

Youtube quality in fact... Shame and not fan "friendly"

I admit to being frustrated by the lack of content for this edition and not knowing that the CD would follow. I'm not going to give in to the purchase but I admit that I wouldn't be against a charitable sharing of the ISO of the CD edition

I would've shared, but will keep mine in wrap most likely.
Unrelated to that, my damaged one will be swapped out for another one, so will have to ship it back and they'll ship out a different one. Here's hoping things will go good.

you shouldn't wait long for the exchange, I would say... the CD are not sold out for the moment and besides, curiously the vinyl is no longer there even though I saw "sold out" not long ago

I already mailed a week and a half ago and they only got around to it today, so I'll say I'm fine with the replacement and see what'll happen. Worst case, I'm missing out on the LP.

I missed this one, but magicvinyldigital.net did a comparison of the different Versailles 400 editions.

Not really suprising. The stream and cd edition are compressed as hell (the CD is slightly better), vinyl edition is the preferred.

Is BSI known for shit service? Shipped my copy back for a replacement almost a month back and still received nothing, not even a "We received your copy." despite it having been confirmed by the Track & Trace as having been delivered weeks ago. I swear I'm pulling a charge back through PayPal if they don't hurry up. Good lord, what a shit show.
