:( only a handful were signed.

Washington State came today...at least in Tacoma. Once you see the box, you will see why it takes a few minutes to sign. They would have to open it all the way and find a place. The box is black, so I assume they would sign inside somewhere.

The fact that some people here "predicted" every box would signed isn't really a logical reason to be mad at the 10C. People need to realize they created the fantasy by themselves. Also, I don't see how people can complain that they weren't told that they could have gotten the box set cheaper from BestBuy. Consumer responsibility, anyone?

I think that people would reasonably expect that if a big part of the marketing of a presale is that random sets would be signed, that there would be more than a handful. I mean, honestly... if you're only going to sign like 40-50 sets... you could at least phrase the pre-sale '50 sets will be signed by the band' or something that highlights that its not going to be a large number.

Second - the reason people complain about the BB site being cheaper (as well as Deepdiscount.com and others) is because TC charged the CC at the time of purchase. As far as I know there was no way to cancel the order and buy somewhere else.

I'm personally not mad, but I can definitely see why some are a little ticked at the process here. I mean, most of the arguments about it are quite petty, but overall there are some fair points to made on both sides.

What I find so funny about all of this is that when I bought my copy on Dec 10, I didn't even notice anything about random sets being signed! I was too excited about all the other pieces being offered with the package...
Besides, aren't we all into this band because of their music, not because of their signatures?

Also the same here! I didn't see no signatures begin offered when I placed 2 orders of the box set at 5:30pm on Dec 10th!

Well, many interesting and humorous comments here. Great material and passion.
I would have loved to have my edition signed... but didn't expect it. Certainly didn't feel entitled.

It certainly is about the music and there are so many goodies here to make me giddy again like its 1991 revisited.

I will say I'm disappointed that the exact same version of the 10c masterpiece will be on sale at Best Buy (along with RockBand bonus tracks) for less (and no shipping charges). I'm trying to get past that knowing my cash went to 10c and the band versus BBY.... but it's going to take a few sips of bourbon till I really forget it. In my mind, I was thinking that the 10c version would have slightly special packaging... like the Avacado when released... unique and special to those of us passioned fools whom love our band to inexplicable levels (at least to our spouses and loved ones).

Why do so many people have a problem with personal responsibility?

I think these were some of my favorite posts......

"maybe they signed all the super duper editions"

"i bet they signed more than half the super duper editions"

"i think they signed 30 super duper editions"

"stone says they signed a handful of super duper editions"

"SPEEDY says they didnt sign any super duper editions".........hehehehehehehehehe
