The Complete U2 is a "digital box set" by U2, released exclusively online in the iTunes Store on 23 November 2004. It was the first major release of an online box set by any artist. It contains the complete set of U2 albums, extras extending the total to 446 songs—singles, live, rare and previously unreleased material—from 1978 to 2004. Retail price is $149.99, but a $50 coupon was included with U2 Special Edition iPods (those based on the fourth-generation iPod.) Newer U2 Special Edition iPods (with video—those based on the fifth-generation iPod) included a code redeemable for a 33-minute compilation of live band performances and interviews in lieu of the coupon. It was released a day after U2's eleventh album How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb.
