Singles boxset coming November 4th, 2008?

I just found this:

Singles Box-Limited Edition
EAN: 5099922857828
Release Date: November 4, 2008

10 Discs in opaque slimline - all different colours. Casebound book, board coated both sides, Gloss Laminate plus foil, 108 inner pages, Flight Case and outer carton and sticker.

Bullsh*t

Yes, and it will be released as a duopack with the first part of the Anthology series

309 $ - quite expensive, probably the money is for the flight case (flight case???). However, we should not complain when they finally release something we wanted for a long time. Surely, there will be offers. I would like to see a picture.

What makes you think it's real ? I didn't find any information in the "official sources".

The "official sources" in the world of Queen are "unreliable" at best, and I would expect to find information about any release from an outside source before they release it officially. (Remember the tour dates, the album artworks and the dvd bonus footage contents? The "official source" was the last place to look for any of those.)

A quick google search with the EAN/ASIN codes tells me that alcastar.com and amazon.com also have the same box set in presale, so obviously they must have received their information from somewhere... Most companies probably wouldn't advertise anything this much in advance, but there's always the possibility these might get an easy 20€ (or $50 in case of the American stores) profit from every sale.

Since it's listed at 140€ in the euro-zone, you can expect this to be the "standard cd version" comparable to the FM collection.

I believe this is true. Greg said something about a "massive release" for this November. I hope they will include the (promo) radio edits from around the world - mono versions would also be welcome.

This indeed is true. Meant to say something about this a while back. Which makes me sound as if I'm trying to retrospectively claim prior knowledge of this release.

Which is what I'm doing, I suppose... :)

Sounds like a nice release for a decent price.
Not going to buy it though. I prefer the good old vinyl 7" singles...

It'd be great to get something like this - provided it is done well, of course.

I'm wondering, though, why does this release warrant 10 discs? Has this been mentioned before?

10 CDs are not too much. Take the singles from various countries along with the various b-sides plus the 12" singles. Maybe you can answer the question about the radio edits, Bohardy?

If the CD set is going to cost that then I can only imagine how much the rumored vinyl set will cost.

Somebody posted this a while back over on QOL. It's basically a list of what COULD be included on this set.
