Green Day has put together a $250 boombox and cassette box set.

I'm not really down with the cassette trend that has been popping up, but this is a cool way to do it. Still haven't listened to their new album, I need to get on that.

 

This is kind of cool, I would never spend 250 on it, but this is the best cassette box set I've seen

 

Cool idea. Is this a working boombox?

 

Of montreal did it better
Cassette Box Set

 

Idk why it wouldn't be

 

I like that Green Day gives you a way to listen to the media though

 

Capitalism!

 

I still have my Dookie cassette from when I was a kid. Don't really see the appeal for this kind of stuff now days though.

 

Agreed. There's not even a way to argue that it's "better" like people do with analog formats. It's a technically shittier digital format.

 

Right!?! It also loses the artwork argument.

 

It's certainly not practical, but it's a damn cool novelty item

 

No Shenanigans no care. But then again, yes Shenanigans no care.

 

So punk (but seriously pretty cool if you're a fan)

 

Yea this is super cool but $250 is too much unfortunately. Stoked to see them in march with against me! though.

 

I agree it's awesome but most people who buy cassettes already have a player. I would much rather have the boxset and not the boom box.

It is cool for someone who doesn't have one though

 

Pro tip- you can snag a boom box pretty similar to that one, and probably at least 5 of those albums on cassette at your local Goodwill store for $20 out the door.
