Thinking outside the box set

QUEEN — ROYAL ORB (BRAVADO)

Fans of Queen who already own every variation of Freddie Mercury's catalogue — from holiday box sets to re-mastered MP3s — are in luck. There's yet another way to buy the same music that you've had for years, and this time it looks especially fresh in your trophy case. In addition to a sparkly golden bauble that any glam fan would covet, the $300 price tag gets you a thumb drive with the band's full output (and a photo gallery), plus a red-velvet carrying pouch and gold-plated pendant necklace. Kind of like the Beatles' $300 apple-shaped USB box set, but wearable.
