Ok, true, but I hate enhanced CDs. Most of them blow. The digital thing seems more natural. A nice complete digital package where all the elements are part of the whole. Enhanced CDs (in my mind) are like an afterthought - a little extra data to supplement your experience rather than be an integral part of it. I suppose its context of delivery? I admit it would all bascially amount to the same amount of content in the end.

Let me put it this way - with the extra content in the digital release I feel satisfied in filling the hole left by not having a physical product. In the physical release the packaging is the context, where here that context (or same type of experience) shifts to the digital world.

Remember the Daft Club player? That thing was total junk.
