Yea but there's like a month and a half of overlap from the time everybody else got theirs and when the initial pre-orders are going out. I'd be singing a different tune if it were only a week or two.

It really just kills what little anticipation I had in receiving the EP set and, to me, totally destroys the essence of what a pre-order is and does.

edit: this is davenport/horseshoe all over again :/

Thank you very much, slightly retarded phone recording people. Get a clue.
I fucking HATE these people. They totally ruin concerts nowadays, both for people who want to enjoy the energy of the crowd and those who want to be able to take GOOD quality recordings and share it with others. Now they just stand there like fucking dead door nails and record video with sound that clips so badly it sounds like it's been recorded off wall vibrations, the wankers!

yeah, i hate them too. i'd even say i fucking hate them. why not.

you used to have bad luck at a show if a tall person got in front of you. now it's almost a given that no matter where you're standing, a bunch of retards, tall and small, will hold their phones up in front of you.

just watch the fucking gig already, you morons. the video you're recording will be worthless anyway.
what makes it worse for me, is that i can see how bad the result will be, because i can follow everything on the screen of their phone. makes me want to throw their phone on the ground, yell in their ears and then murder them in the anonimity of the crowd.

2? as far as i'm concerned, this is still the same pre-order for the same ep. no?

and what exactly is killing you? you can already listen to all songs. and they suck anyway. i don't think i'd ever listen to this ep if i ever got it.

Man, do you really want this? I understand completion of collection and all that, but I just dont see the appeal. As Ice Cream said, would you even listen to the thing?

5) No Artwork/Lyric Book

1 song on the Vinyl is really cheap, not a patch on Le Deux or Sinfony. I was thinking Orpheus Descending would have been perfect for this and people would have actually wanted it. Even if the second side was just a demo of one of the CD tracks it would be rewarding those people actually investing in the album.

They had 1 pre-order. Fine. Check.

A month or so later, they had another pre-order where you also get a free poster, the actual box you're pre-ordering, as well as a chance to purchase more records.

Not really complaining, I just don't like the smell.

In the sense that it is a Smashing Pumpkins release that is going to cost me upwards of Ł300 in total. Yeah I would like a little more.

"waste of money" is not = "investment". Paying for something that was already given away for free... "But want a physical blah blah" NO! STFU!

Why can't completists assume that this is just a different band and stick to 1988-2000?
