Digipack Research

The idea of a digipack is to showcase the artist by adding in lots of bonus features to the original album. It is very popular for Digipacks to include some DVD content of possibly live shows or a music video. They also sometimes contain a poster or some sort of artwork or maybe even a competition.

Here is an example of a digipack, as you can see it is quite large compared to a normal album.

Here is another version of a digipack. This one has lots of

DVD content so is shaped like a DVD.

Francais Pour Une Nuit is an electrifying full length live DVD. The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse -that is, James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo- ride into Nimes and make their entrance into the Coliseum, through the gladiator's tunnel, before performing an explosive set of Metallica music. Fans can also look forward to some exclusive backstage footage.

Including 2 hours of the show, 37 minute interview of the band, 5 videos from the audience/16 page booklet, Francais Pour Une Nuit i sthe ultimate Metallica live experience!

This is another digipack, this time with less digipack content.
