I know that releases are often listed quite early on Amazon. This item is for the "news" of when it finally shows up at Amazon.co.uk or other Amazon sites. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: Aug. 22 2005, 14:24 I just now went there. HMV appears to be a mere shell added onto www.amazon.ca. So this is "on topic" as an Amazon site -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: Aug. 25 2005, 16:56 Are there actually pre-release copies out there doing the rounds? If so I'm suprised its not been leaked onto the net yet. Tres Lunas got uploaded pretty rapidly if I remember rightly. I've certainly not come across any tracks on limewire, not that I've been looking mind   Back to top

hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: Sep. 06 2005, 10:50 Amazon now has it listed twice: the older listing for $30.99 and a newer listing for $21.99. The newer listing has fewer details, and it also an import. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: Oct. 03 2005, 10:41 The first of the two Amazon listings now shows a few reviews. They are mixed: some very low and some very high. http://www.amazon.com/exec....=507846 -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

Bill Bobaggins Group: Members Posts: 477 Joined: June 2005 Posted: Oct. 03 2005, 20:54 On the track listing of the cheaper one ($21.99), it does not include the two bonus tracks.  Wow - the one I ordered cost $30.49.   $8.50 more for two additional tracks? -------------- Speak friend and enter.

Inkanta Group: Admins Posts: 1453 Joined: Feb. 2000 Posted: Oct. 21 2005, 00:13 Just today (while on the road so I couldn't do anything), I had decided to cancel my amazon.com order and obtain elsewhere. I had had that thought many times, but never got around to it. Oddly, I was too late! The copy, which I had ordered on 10 September, finally shipped today! I am a bit concerned, though. Just tracked it, and it's in Lexington, Kentucky. Wonder if it's going to be delivered by UPS on horseback? Could result in more delay, though thoroughbreds are pretty fast.    The dull, boring reality is that Lexington is an amazon center, so it has arrived from across the pond, but hasn't left the building. Is anyone else waiting on amazon us? -------------- "No such thing as destiny; only choices exist." From:  Moongarden's "Solaris." Back to top

Yes, I am still waiting.  I see now that it is being called a "special edition" and there is special price - 10% off.  I hope that when and if they decide to send it to me, I get the discount.  They have already sent me a $10 coupon due to it being late (which I used, by the way, when I preordered Episode 3). -------------- Speak friend and enter.

Blind Faith Group: Members Posts: 36 Joined: Sep. 2005 Posted: Oct. 21 2005, 20:39 I find those amazon reports very strange.   I got my copy from Amazon.ca, UK import with 2 extra tracks, winthin less then a week and at $15.99CDN. I feel like I won all arround, delivery speed and price.   P.S. I would have bought localy but I think it will never make it to their shelves   Back to top
