Zeitgeist making-of DVD on its way

Netphoria.org poster Bullet1979 (hey, that was a seven-inch) first brought this rumour to the Internets last Tuesday, citing a friend in the retail industry:

[T]here will be a Best Buy exclusive re-release of Zeitgeist packaged with a Making-of-DVD that follows the 2 years of writing and recording Zeitgeist. It will also contain all songs recorded during the Zeitgesit [sic] recording sessions and it apparently comes in a box that “looks pretty sweet.”

This weekend, the rumour was verified (?) by HU’s favorite (?) reluctant (?) Pumpkins-tour follower, who claims both to have inquired as to its veracity with frontman Billy Corgan and to have received an affirmative response.

UPDATE: Netphoria user jjbjjbjjb (???) lectures on the economics of a bonus DVD.

UPDATE: Even more from this crazy jjbjjbjjb person.

    Netphoria nerd!

    I think I’ll wait for the UltraSuperFantasticThisIsAbsolutelyTheFinal Special Edition of Zeitgeist (w/ hologram Blu-Ray brain implant). I don’t see this as much more than another excuse to artificially juice the Zeitgeist sale figures.

    (Maybe I’m just in a bad mood cause I smashed my Pisces Iscariot jewel case on the garage floor this morning.)

    Hey, I forgot all about that. That’s another reason to be pissed at whichever side is dragging their feet on that one.

    Metro DVD loses its selling point now that it’s not the “final show.”

    Though it obviously wasn’t coming out anyhow.

    Wasn’t this really the last show, anyway? ;)

    Yeah, and so was some other famous female person, umm…can’t remember who now. And that’s where I first met Jimmy, too. Even got to take a picture of him holding a rose. Why I didn’t ask for a picture WITH him, I’ll never understand.

    Cameron Diaz. I didn’t see her though. If I had, then maybe the Roxy would win over Metro. :)
