I cackled at some of these observations, but the package is so disappointing. Perhaps they were too busy "exploring the digital collectible space*" to pay much attention to this?

I did not "migrate" the Annually 2023 digital collectible to my Ethereum wallet.

If the quality on YouTube is anything to go by on most of the videos, the original DVD versions may be the best available versions.

I don´t know how, in this day and age, remasters keep looking worse then what was originally available. I remember being extremely disappointed in Madonna´s Celebration DVD, where a lot of the videos actually looked much worse then her previous video collections.

Yes, it's pretty certain that's what the content will be. To be honest, massively disappointing, since the upscales are pretty mid so far, and in places worse than the DVD rip. I'll probably get the five-disc edition, begrudgingly, since the 3CD won't have the booklet.

I watched Yesterday When I Was Mad and it’s got a very strange ratio crop and the colouring is off too.

Time to cancel my pre-order, I fear. I can't really afford £45 for stuff I mostly have already and which is probably in better quality anyway.

The main problem with Madonna Celebration DVD is that they deciced to save costs by shrinking all the content into two single-layer DVDs.
Single-layer DVD is enough for 1h content like The Immaculate Collection and 93:99, but for 3h30min of content you really need to split it into two DOUBLE-layer DVDs.

(And let's not get started on the censoring of Justify My Love and Erotica...)

Has been a great evening. One oddity is how they never use Brits performances for "at the BBC" compilations, but they did use the performance with Dusty Springfield at the Brits 1988 for Reel Stories.

I just assumed it’s because the Brits were usually on ITV instead of the BBC, but I’m not too sure.
