Let me get this straight; I pre-ordered and I get no extras

but people that bought the Target version get all kinds of free stuff. Not to mention that they could get the album on it's release date, whereas I'm still waiting for mine.

Great incentive to buy direct from 10c. Never doing that again. :roll:

    I'm pretty sure no one mentioned freebies on the presale

    if you start expecting this them disappointment is round the corner

    The special packaging is enough for me

    From the "Latest from Ten Club" email sent on 9/18:

    "Stay tuned for details on free concert downloads from the vault through the Ten Club version of the CD."

    Not to say this is a guarantee, but I'm assuming it'll happen, because the 10C has been pretty good to us through the years. And hopefully they'll be better than the Target downloads which don't include any cover songs.

    not to mention all of these downloads are already available for free

    The one that really gets me is the Rock Band tracks. If I had know about that beforehand I would have saved my money and bought the album at Target.

    So i was sittin here bitchin with everone that my vinyl is no where to be found. NO CHANCE it will be here by the show saturday. I had to take a break from my anger and take a DUMP and i was playing poker on my itouch and i got and ad for.... you guessed it.. backspacer with two bonus downloads.

    so that will be my memory of this record instead of getting a first listen on a beautiful turn table i got to down load it while on the shitter... go figure...
    Paramount Theater 94 (my first show)
    Red Rocks 95 (the best venue)
    Fiddlers Green 98 (good 10c seats)
    Albuquerque 00 (good road trip, best 10c seats)
    Pepsi Center 03 (best show)
    Pepsi Center 06 X 2 (still mad about TPHB)

    you wouldn't save any money by getting the rockband tracks through the Target copy....it's $29.99 @ target...i downloaded Backspacer off of Xbox live for like $18.oo...add the $12.00 that the cd cost and it's the same, $30.

    Well, at least the vinyl is shipping "near" the release date. You guys know how poor the Ten Club is about shipping records when they're supposed to (Christmas single anyone?). Also, neither Riot Act nor Avocado nor Rearviewmirror nor Lost Dogs were availible on vinyl for the release date. Calm down. Eddie didn't even buy a vinyl from Ten Club. He bought it from Target!

    Seriously...Why did we pre-order? I don't remember, but with Avocado we got the bonus live CD from 92'. This sucks, this waiting bull shit. What's the point? And we paid more for it. My scratching my balls over here you guys...

    I'm late in the game as usual, however, here are my 2 cents: The 10c version is fabulous; stick it in your pc and see what happens!! What freebies do the Target buyers receive???

    I put it in my pc and it brings up the cd face and then you can click on stuff, but nothing out of the ordinary...am I missing something?

    my itouch/target/ shitter extra downloads were a "short film" by PJ that my itouch does not want to seem to play the video for just audio and a live recordering of the fixer.

    Still have have not hit play on the album yet.

    why are people so worked up over these free concert downloads? Doesn't everyone know that there is a thread on Given to Fly where you can download over 200 different shows in perfect CD quality including all the shows mentioned in the give away except the 2008 shows. You can download every single 2006,2005,2003, and 2000 show if you click on this link:

    true. or they could either use the search function or just read the damn board and see that the 10c downloads are coming, and will (most likely) be way better.

    I only pre-order the Vinyl just today I got the reply from 10c.
    I leave in Brazil and it takes from 4 to 8 weeks for the vinyl to get here.

    I lot of my friends already have the record, because they downloaded it for free on the internet.
    I am again'st that type of behavior.

    Wouldn't it hurt 10c to have sent the record a few weeks back? I have not heard the record yet... because I want to here it for the first time on my turntable... old school way.
    Now I get the message I have to wait for additional 4 weeks at least.

    I am re-thinking this buying from 10c. Right now, I don't plan to do it again.
    In love with music

    Honestly, at this point I'm "Extra and free-bees be damned."

    At this point I just want my damn CD. Mail came already. Nothing. Out of respect for the band I have not downloaded the album form any torrent sites thus far. But I'm only going to wait so much longer (like one more day).

    I don't know that they could have. In the vinyl artwork there is a print reference to Dr. Michael Richter who only passed away about a month ago. This indicates, to me at least, that the albums were not even remotely ready to be sent out as of a month ago. So basically they had to print up album jackets from zero starting approximately four weeks ago. Given this it would not have been possible to send them out a few weeks back.

    Settle down. With the exception to Vs, the Lp's have always come out and been secondary to the CD release.

    I thought is was Vs they did that for. But, you are probably right as my memory from back then is a little fuzzy on the details. :oops:

    I was able to support my local record store and the band by buying in person on Sunday. CD and LP in hand. I would like to see the video from iTunes or whatever but I'm sure it'll make it's way out soon.
