So they were selling them before they knew how many they had?

Yup. I think Amazon orders may have the same problem.

No, the record company reduced the allocated amount for every supplier later in the day

this morning, i got a call about this from sound stage direct. seth told me that all of the retailers that placed their orders ended up getting about 10% of what they asked for. sound stage direct ended up ordering two shipments from sony: one to fulfill pre-orders, which is why it ended it saying temporarily out of stock, and another one for regular sale.

your move now

surely they should have waited for confirmation on their orders before they started selling things?

They were told they had an amount allocated - and in the last week that amount was reduced considerably by the supplier

your move now

that just doesn't make any sense to me.... monkey wrench/ columbia, whoever must have known how many would be printed and known that 10C would sell out... so why would they confirm more than they could ever hope to fill?

Will 10C get the same problem?

They decided to make it more limited after seeing them not selling out? They reduced the amount after the music retailers stuff had gone online, and while they still had items to be bought,

No, all 10C's orders will be fulfilled I believe. Many have shipped already

I've yet to receive an email cancelling mine...I ordered a long time ago though.

I was just on the site and they are taking orders still...be pretty shitty to take orders after you know you won't be able to fulfill them, and then cancel them.

why wouldn't they make enough copies to keep retailers happy...it's not like sony or pearl jam will lose and be stuck with all these copies?

Kcuff me

Received today from SoundStage Direct:

"Due to the newly implemented stock allocation limits set by the record company imposed on all retailers, we are sorry to inform you that your order for PJ20 is being canceled. You have been issued a refund, which you should see post to your account within the next 72 business hours. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused."

Guy from SoundStage called me personally to explain (which is pretty awesome). Apparently Sony just told retailers yesterday that supply was going to be SUPER restricted after initially telling them it would be unlimited. Seems even the retailers are a bit fed up at this point. Only winners are the ebay bastards. You can't tell me they didn't know demand would be this high, starting to smell like an intentional price gouge by someone.......Sony?

Glad I ordered from 10C as a backup. I was on the fence.

The way Pearl Jam is handling this release makes NO SENSE AT ALL. Basically they're creating an environment that completely fucks over everyone involved except flippers and eBay jerks.

What's the point?
