Pearl Jam might as well stop touring because of the economy.....sarcasm.
when will we have our (rolleyes) emoticon back?!? "sarcasm" just doesnt do the trick...
I think Pegasus posted the codes to get the smileys on a thread.
btw, I really like the pic on your sig
thanks... just figured out how to do that... its really too large of a picture right now though... i was hoping for something thinner and less annoying... ill have to play around with it later when i have more time
and those smiley links were too long to be worth while if i remember correctly... ill wait for 10C to add them... they BETTER add them!

I hope they add them too, is there a search function on the board yet? nah right?
Children in Africa have been starving since the beginning of time. So you were able to buy something in harsh economic times... consider yourself blessed instead of bitching about the item being for sale in the first place!
Why should any business shut up shop because of poor economic conditions?
Seems plenty of people are willing to drop the cash for this, so hell, more power to 'em.
You're acting as if we're all being FORCED to buy this thing - my previous advice still stands (which was a general statement), if you can't afford it then don't bloody buy it. This thing isn't going anywhere, buy it six months or six years from now if you still want it - it makes zero difference.
And for the record, no - I don't live with "Mom and Dad". I have a wife, a baby on the way and a mortgage but happen to have enough control over my finances that I can afford it so I bought it. If I couldn't, I wouldn't have (and I wouldn't waste my breath complaining about it).
I also do not understand why there was such a rush to offer a presale on this item considering that it won't be released for 3 months. Business is business, I guess. I'm sure many people jumped on the presale because they didn't want to miss out on the item, but I think it could have waited until late-January in my opinion.
As you say business is business, what better way to gauge how many units to press, than to sell it to the die hard fans 3 months before it's release. If it flys off the self, up the number pressed. If sales are slow, then produce less. Probably won't be manufactured until a month before release, so cash from the pre-sale will finance this also.
I'm tired of people complaing about the prices of the items 10cc is selling.
$140 isn't much for this box. I haven't bought it yet, I'll wait until Janaury. I'm prettu sure pre-orders will still be possible at that time. Even maybe until february or March.
The economy is maybe bad but not everyone is influenced by that. Maybe I'm lucky, but I don't have money problems and people aroun me neither. Maybe because the problems are worse in US than Europe ?
I think, fortunately, many people don't really feel the bad economy.
Anyway, what I wanted to say is that everyone may buy what he wants, when he wants. Buying this edition isn't an obligation.

I don't understand your bitchin', I do have a job, but I'm not rushing to buy it, I know I will still have a chance to buy it, but I'd rather buy gifts for my family and friends and buy it afterwards, I still have 3 months to buy it before it comes out, and even if I don't buy it by then, I can buy it later on. We should be able to think first and see if we can afford it, if we can, cool buy it, if you can't or you want to use that money for something else then just restrain yourself, it's not pearl jam's fault you didn't think about that beforehand.
Honestly, I bought one. I am just as excited as everyone else about it, but the timing of this is ridiculous. I mean, this item arrives in the PJ.com Store within hours of the OFFICIAL declaration of our Country being in a "recession". WTF? Did PJ not make enough money during their touring projects this year? It is not shipping until the end of MARCH! that is about 1/3 of a year from now...Was it really necessary to slug another buck forty out of all of us loyal fans at this time of year??? I hope all of you that managed to come up with this $140, can manage to donate 10% of that sum to someone in need at this time of the year.
Sorry for my rant, I am getting tired of hearing bad news from friends and family about jobs, health, etc. It has been a shitty couple of weeks (though I received a promotion personally-hooray), and as much as I LOVE all things PJ, I am seeing stress all around me, and I am just not "HAPPY" about this purchase at the moment. I would have rather helped out a friend with that money.
Hey, I want this deluxe reissue of Ten packeage thing as bad as everyone else here but you know what? I don't have the money. BOO HOO! Thats life man. You can't always get EVERY thing you want in life and for me, this is one of them right now. Could I bitch and moan about it? Yeah. Its to bad. I'm more upset about the fact I haven't seen PJ live in over two years than not being able to pre-order this thing. I'll have it some day, until then who gives a shit. Bigger and more important things to be concerned with right now.
Wondering if maybe they put this one up for presale to gauge demand. Probably not going to produce too many of these sets. In fact, wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being pretty rare down the road...
Who the hell would buy this and then complain about the price and how they wished they would have used that money more wisely??? I can see you now yelling at your monitor as you pull out your credit card. Screaming and ranting the whole time you are entering your cc number. And once you hit submit a final scream of cuss words as you continue to complain about this bad timing....really...who does this?
I know it's friday but come on. I didn't bitch about buying that "10 POUND BAG OF ROBIN HOOD FLOUR" at Sobeys this afternoon, where i could of saved 3 bucks at superstore (hearing the ad over the radio).I could of returned it, but i'm so fucking tired from work. Should i start a thread on that? Hell no!
I am seeing stress all around me, and I am just not "HAPPY" about this purchase at the moment. I would have rather helped out a friend with that money.
Did someone grab your hand and made you click through the purchase? If you think you should have helped a friend with that money then why the fuck did you not?????
IDIOT!
I have no patience for bad music and stupid people...
The whole world will be different soon the whole world will be RELIEVED

There are a couple of anomalies I see with this. First being... A Pearl Jam pre-sale and the recession. Is one related to the other? And if the shipping is going out in March... why not just wait til March to order it? There will be tons of copies available... you can still get one, without the pre-sale, right? And is the economy going to be better in March? I don't know... it may be worse, depending upon what happens with the auto makers.
And if you would have rather helped out a friend... why didn't you? Do you really NEED this set that bad... to forsake your friends?
...
And before you get down on me... I bought 2 copies. One for me and one for a friend. A friend who has to go under a general anaesthesia for a tissue sample to find whether or not she has cancer. I'm just hoping she is around in March to accept this offering. And if one of them is autographed... she's getting it.
And finally... haven't you ever heard of the things this band and their fans have done to benefit other people? Hell... just look at Mike alone and see what he's done just this year. That probabaly more than most bands have done in their career.
So, instead of worrying about what others shoud donate... maybe you could become an example and do what what you expect everyone else to do. If you can afford to drop 140 bucks on a record... surely, you can help out a friend, right?

That' why I have a fund put away for things like this and concert tickets. That way when the time comes I don't have to scrape together money to pay for it.
...
I do the same exact thing... it's a 'Music Account'. I like to keep it funded as a seperate account in case there is a concert or special offer that pops up. I cut back on a lot of other stuff... (like anyone that knows me, knows I don't spend too much on clothes and crap). I also have an emergency account to cover those costs and if that isn't enough to cover the emergency... I have this reserved account I can throw at it. If the combinded amount isn't enough... I'm screwed.

(b) if spending money is going to keep you up at night, you can't afford it.
Can you read? I wasn't talking about ME not having the money! Why don't all you douche bags with a stupid comment spend a half hour helping the Red Cross with your local Homeless Shelter, it is a pretty sad thing this presale couldnt wait a month considering the status of the economy and time of year. This is an item that 90% of the buyers are buying for themselves, not as a gift for others...
I have a feeling the people who are complaining about the $140 aren't your typical Red Cross and homeless shelter donors. And do you really think in a month the economy is going to change? Why aren't you mad at Best Buy for promoting HDTVs "considering the status of the economy". Get off your supposed high horse.
All the pre-sales I ever participated before, charged me when the item was actually shipped. So, yeah, that part IS actually bullshit. And that's why I am having to wait for another month before I can drop the money for the super-duper-rip-you-off version.
I have no patience for bad music and stupid people...

I just don't like how only Super Deluxe was available. Very smart business decision though. Make the most expensive one the only one that can be purchased right now...

I'll put on a fucking red cross shirt if it will make you feel better.
I dropped the $140. I'm just a bit upset that they charged it now (3 months away) than doing it when it was shipping, like they said they would.
