a purchasing dilemma... (Portishead)

[joethelion]

ok...

so here's my problem....

I could buy "Third" right now (ok tomorrow morning), on 2x12" and buy the "Machine Gun" etched 12" for a total of $18.50 (and get the album as a free mp3 download)

...or I could buy the fancy boxset (used, "like new") for like $50. Which is basically the exact same as above, but instead of mp3 download, it comes with the USB key, which also has some "short films" on it, and a "limited edition print"

[and let's face it, for all I know - the dude could have taken out the print, or forged his own copy of the boxset using the aforementioned vinyls]

...or spend $79 (thanks to the UK -> US conversion rates) to get it new, direct from Portishead's online store


you see - it's the (former) comic book collector in me... as soon as I see "limited edition" I start having a Pavlovian response

...and I'm not sure if it's worth it. So what do you guys recommend? Seriously, someone needs to smack some sense into me.

(edit)
CRAP
so in between the six/seven hours I went to bed and then got up and ready for the day today... the dude on amazon that was selling it increased the price by another $30!!!!! I KNEW I should've just bought it before I went to bed!
