As far as we know now: There won't be Blu-rays and both release won't be available outside North America.
amazed there's still a market for DVDs
I'd definitely buy a blu ray version of a concert recording from the tour and hoepfully there will be one for the European market

Why?
Why?
Streaming services are King nowadays
Saying that I do like me a blu ray of a concert
Being a fan from North America I’m surprised by this as well. First of all I’m usually the one searching out media elsewhere because it’s NOT available in the U.S. Second I don’t understand not releasing a Blu-ray version when you know everything is shot in HD these days. I think all of us would pay extra for a proper release. And lastly why release the edited version of “When In Rome” when surely everyone has the original release already?

What ungodly reason could such a thing have for existing?

Broadcast purposes. It was aired in Europe a couple of times on TV.

But why a DVD of such an edit? Makes no sense.
Sorry I don't expect you to actually have an answer from the band's management, it's kind of a rhetorical question! I can't think of any market for it.

I actually did ask the management - it's obviously only a deal with the broadcaster, so it's not really a GENESIS-driven release.
Obviously the edited version of When In Rome is not for the fans. If anything we would want expanded editions. Kind of like when the band dropped the ball on the 2007 remaster live box set and could have expanded Seconds Out. That was a missed opportunity for sure!
Well, at least they cut I Can't Dance... That's about the only good thing I could say about which songs are missing...

I agree, I consume hours of streamed content every day. However, content on streaming services may disappear at any time. For that reason, all music I want infinite access to I buy as CD, DVD or Bluray.
I watched the documentary a couple of days ago. It was not bad at all, I enjoyed it. After all, I'm delighted that our old heroes are actually doing music again. But the documentary in itself, I didn't think it was that special. It was quite short and too much filler material. I downloaded it from Youtube for future reference, but that's not the kind of content I'm willing to pay for. I hope that there will later be a lengthy documentary with lots of extras, like they released after the 2007 tour.

You mean like "Come Rain Or Shine"?
This new documentary is of course a special thing, since it's completely based on rehearsals. Also, as far as I understood this, it won't be available outside North America anyway. So why bother ...
Well, that bit during the end credits of the recently broadcasted documentary really made me laugh

Looks like they also hilariously mis-spelt Cin Clisnol.
Watched the show recently and had tears in my eyes. I do want to see the show and although Genesis are different to the Collins solo shows (wheee everything is focused on him), it really hard to see Phil this way singing Genesis tracks. And not drumming etc.
Mama sounded really good in this new version but of course it makes you wonder how the other tracks might work. Soon we will know
The amazing thing is is the the first time there has been only one drummer for genesis lice since Phil Collins took to the mic. It's weird hearing some of these songs with just one drummer sounds likethe album versions nic does an awesome job and some of the videos I swear he looks like Phil back in the early 1970s lol. He really looks like his dad at times
The documentary DVD arrived a few days prior to the release date. Pretty bare-bones packaging, no booklet or anything. Still glad to have the DVD though!
