The good news, the "Ten" superdeluxe set is worth every penny. Got it today in Portland.

The bad news: The url listed on the coupon with a download code for the MP3 version of "Drop in the Park" appears to be a dead link.

www.myplaydigital.com/pearljam brings up nothing but an error message.

What are the chances o this getting fixed do you think?

    Dude stop ruining it for the 98% of us who haven't received it. :) I think I need to stop opening threads until I get mine next week.

    I hope it's up and running then.
    My record player is busted so I can't listen to LP's.

    By the way everything has been worth every penney I spent to have it shipped to Canada.
    Got it today and thought I was going to knock the delivery guy down at the door as he got here just as I came home from work.
    Enjoy everyone and Long Live Pearl Jam

    Just wondering about this too.

    Makes sense if the site won't work 'til the 24th. I have a feeling I'll be able to find some good tunes to listen to until then. :mrgreen:

    Hey guys,

    I am waiting for the download link as well... record player available currently! :?

    Never wrote anything here but need to now...

    This set is worth more than the music it contains! I had it shipped over to Berlin (Germany) and received it about 6 hours ago. All the pictures in there, the book ..., brings back some feelings that I find hard to describe. Seeing all those old concert tickets and photos together with bands like Alice in Chains, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, even Cypress Hill. All this music influenced me when I was 15, 16 years old and it still does!

    Thanks guys...

    I tried to download before reading this...The website worked but when I clicked the Download button I just got a zip file that says "Your zip file is currently being processed. Please allow up to 72 hours for your zip file to be ready for use."

    I hope this doesn't screw anything up... :?

    Me too.... and the note on the coupon says "the download is available only once, so download accordingly!"
    Hope I didn't bush* it.

    BUSH definition= VERB: screw the pooch; err; make a horrible mistake in judgement; INTERJECTION: BUSH it!; ADJECTIVE: slang for "worst in the category" and/or "worst example of all time"; NOUN somehow, a former President of the United States of America.

    Used in a sentence: In the name of all things holy, how could the American public totally bush and elect that stinky Bush who was clearly and unmistakenly bush league. And they did it twice! Bush it, dammit!

    I just did the same thing. If I messed this up, I'll be pissed, but I'll just hook up my friend's USB turntable to my Mac and rip the album. Digital Goodness with Vinyl sound :D

    Can anyone recommend a high quality vinyl player that connects with a USB? And permit a few questions: does that mean that you only 'hear' the vinyl after ripping to .mp3?
    Do you lose the warmth and depth of vinyl by using the USB players?
    If none of this is true... who has recommendations for a vinyl/usb player?

    I just downloaded it.. was a 128mb zip file.

    That 72 hour thing.. it wasn't a time remaining on a really slow internet connection was it?

    I just looked at the site again and I got this message:
    "Your PIN Code entitles you to a specific number of song downloads. Our records show that you have already downloaded the songs of your choice."

    All i got the first time was the "ReadMe" zip. Looks like I screwed myself :(

    No. Made it sound like it wouldn't be delivered or extracted for 72 hours... certainly nothing to do with a slow connection.

    I'm majorly disappointed... but hope something magical happens in the next few hours... I went and hit 'download' again of the site, but now get an error message saying I've already 'downloaded":
