Surely this must be the mother of all box sets:

The Ultimate Tribute
The definitive collection of Elvis Presley’s complete master recordings

This is the definitive collection: all 711 master recordings as released during Elvis’ lifetime, mastered from the original analog master tapes where available. Each recording has been carefully restored to achieve the best sound reproduction ever without compromising the audio quality of the original master. The collection also contains 103 additional rare recordings and a 240-page hardbound book featuring an annotated discography, original album artwork, rare and classic photos, a complete song index and an essay by Peter Guralnick. Housed in a beautiful, limited edition display case.

I find that massively appealing even though i have pretty much avoided elvis to this point.

My favourite Elvis album (out of the few I know) is 'Back in Memphis'. Give it a try.

As for the box set, even at $895, that's still only about $1 per song, and you get all the other stuff (but 'no', I haven't got that kinda money).

Same.
For such an iconic musician, I've never once listened to him of my own volition. It's either on the radio or PA in a shopping centre or something.

I have a compilation CD with all of his major hits and I put it on sometimes. You can also listen to one song and one artist at a time though, so I haven't given him much airplay to say so.

Looks like a beautiful set, probably too expensive for the general music lover though, regardless of it's value/money ratio =)
