While it still hasn’t been announced or confirmed by the band or the record label, talk has been heating up about a special limited-edition box of Metallica’s upcoming Death Magnetic.

For hardcore Metallifans, it sounds like a spiffy little package: in addition to a physical CD, the box set will include bonus CD of 10 demos, a Making Of Death Magnetic DVD and an exclusive T-shirt. There’s also swag like guitar picks, a Death Magnetic flag (who wouldn’t want to wave one out their window?) and a poster with pictures of the band members. The whole shibang is said to be packed in a “coffin box,’ which makes us think, Hey, a coffin box…Why not, right?

But Metallica-zised guitar picks and coffins don’t come cheap, and the rumor is that the box set will set you back 929 Euros – that’s $1,500 in American smackers. You have some time to save up, though – Death Magnetic is due for release mid-September.

UPDATE: Apparently it will not cost 1500 dollars. source

    So I read in a few places that this info is from a Norwegian website. And the new Norwegian currency is the Kroner. 929 Kroner is roughly $180 Us.

    A tad more realistic?

    You really should get your FACTS straight!

    Norway doesn’t have EURO as theire currency, so like EternaMesh said, the price is 929 kroner and thats $180 US dollars…
    So in EUROs that would be ~115€
