But I did go to the U2 website to see what was on offer and maybe to listen to some pre-releases. Nope. But I did see the different packages they were selling. You can get the Digital Package or the CD package or the Vinyl Package. Alt those I understand. They also have on offer the cassette package. That one I don't understand. Are there audiophiles out there for cassettes? Wasn't that the worst format ever?
In 2004, Apple sold the U2 special edition iPod that was pre-loaded with their catalog:

...artist/band Nagativland responded with an pre-loaded U2 vs Negativland iPod and was summarily cease-and-desisted:
