Am i the only pj fan who feels let down by the lottery that was with the super delux???
We as fans are totally in the dark with how many boxsets were signed, but i am sure that ten club
sold a hell of a lot more due to the fact they were offering this lottery.
I got mine of Friday, was held to ransom by UPS and no signed copy.
I wish they had made 2500 signed copies available to the fans, i have spent the last few months in total hope of getting a signed copy.
Not fair.....

    I purchased it before we even knew it had a chance of being signed, so no big loss really. I'm still getting what I paid for.

    I am just thankful to be getting mine tomorrow...signed or unsigned...I have been waiting since December for this and I am very very excited!!! I'm going to love it regardless! Plus, we all knew the chances of getting a signed copy was slim to none...they never promised us that all would be signed.

    Yes.

    This board is absolutely full of ungrateful people at the minute. We just got an incredibly luxurious, tailored-for-fans set released and people then complain about it. The ammount of time that must have gone into it, and this is what people have to say on its release?

    Shame. But then, it is a minority, just a loud one.

    Full is the wrong word I suppose, I'm not implying it's everyone, just that the board itself is full with this rubbish. You only have to take a browse of this board's front page to see countless threads made moaning about something.

    No one who posts on this message board has reported getting a signed one although that does not mean that they aren't out there. I am guessing that if it is signed that it would be in an obvious location. I don't receive mine until tomorrow so I'm not even sure what the actual box looks like yet.

    let us know how it all works out with your set, due to your lack of email I too think you are getting a signed copy :D
    Mine is getting here tomorrow so I'm not counting on it being signed, I never did actually.

    And to the OP, quit your whinning!

    I haven't even gotten mine yet and honestly, I really give less than a shit if it's signed. I ordered the day it went on sale and didn't even notice until a couple days later on this board that random sets would be signed. I figure if, and I mean a big "IF", mine is signed, I would have to go to BB and buy another one which I really can't afford right now. The other set would be packed away. I am just happy with the content in it and can't wait to spin the vinyl, watch the DVD and just enjoy it. That's why I bought it.

    I'm actually impressed that there isn't more posts like this!

    I expected way more people to be pissed that they didn't get a signed copy, and this is the first one I've seen.
    I'd say that's pretty good.

    For the most part people have been really happy with the set. As they should....since it's superb!! :D

    As for the OP....SERIOUSLY!!?? If you could read the description, then you knew the deal.

  • Well, I also bought mine before I knew that was a possibility. And I haven't been on the boards much so I missed out on the "all 10-c" orders will be signed rumor.

    For me, listening to the remix this week has been absolutely amazing - I guess I don't listen to Ten anymore as often as I listen to some of the newer stuff. When I first put the headphones on it was like being transported back to '92. Back to being 21, in my old (first!) apartment. Me and my friends - we'd sit up all night just talking and drinking - with music like PJ, MLB, Nirvana, AIC playing in the background. OMG - to be 21 again at 3am in the morning! Looking up at the night sky, feeling like you're coming to terms with and breaking away from all the bullshit in the past and now you've got the whole world in front of you, and you can take off in any direction you want. It was an incredible time. And Ten was the sound of all those feelings for me. And they've been with me on the rest of the journey, too - it's really pretty uncanny that everytime they release an album it's like they're in the same emotional space that I am. I can't decide if they are following the same path, or leading. Musically, they've been the greatest gift I've received. Nope, disappointed, is not a word that's entered my mind this week!

    i will be slightly crushed for a split second tomorrow when i realize i didn't get a signed one but it won't last long. i do wish all them were signed but it makes it that much cooler for the lucky ones. i'm like 1 of 3 people that didn't get the fucking pick in the jeff ament cd i ordered. shit happens though, you gotta remember why you bought it. did you buy it for autographs or for the music/support of your favorite band? i figure if i wanted the band's autographs that bad i'd try to stalk them after shows. you have a few more deluxe edition chances for autographed ones maybe......................ok i'm done.

    I ordered mine the day I heard about it, it had nothing to do with autographs. And it's amazing.

    I almost wish the autograph thing hadn't happened because it's taken away a lot of the joy we should all be feeling about this great super deluxe set and how lucky we are to get it. Sure it was expensive, but I would rather have my money go to the 10C.

    Not getting a signed copy would suck if you were expecting it. I dunno why somebody would it expect it though.

    If the rumors are true about the signed copies I wish they would have done it a different way. It takes away from some of the surprise, and also they said they were gonna be signing random sets, not selecting random winners of the signed sets. It would seem like the 10c already knows who got them and that isn't really the way it was worded That's not even really a gripe.

    It's cool that they even offer a chance for it. I think next time they would be better off not announcing any sigs. <<People would still bitch, but at least then it would wait till after they have showed up.

    since there have been people who received no tracking/shipping info emails, but they did already receive their box sets, that kinda makes the theory of getting no emails = signed set not really work. i hope that everyone who hasn't received one yet gets a signed one if they want one, but i'm just laying that out there about the lack of a tracking email.

    but if folks are talking "clues" trying to figure out where the signed ones are going... one thing i have noticed from other threads though is that people had some different "Origin Scan" locations in their UPS tracking info. Some folks' info said Redmond, WA, and 1 or 2 that i've seen said Seattle, WA for the Origin Scan. Neither of the ones that I've seen with Seattle as the Origin have received their boxes yet. I don't know if that means anything, and I don't know which location would mean anything if any of that was important... but it's still just something that I've noticed.

    i'm still waiting on my copy to get here... so i'm hopeful! either way, the box set is going to be sweet!

    i gotta asay i think you make quite valid points...

    this was a publicity stunt and a marketing ploy....especially considering what tenclub replied in emails to me and a great many other people

    i feel this thread has gotten out of control and in thE WRONG DIRECTION.....we all know the OP was kinda pathetic ....its a lottery ...you bought the ticket. you took your chances...you still have a great thing sitting in front of you..you got "NEW PEARL JAM"...NEW stuff to drool over and smell ...you dont have the write to bitch about the fact that you didnt get a singed boxset...cause if you are ..YOU BOUGHT IT FOR THE WRONG REASON..i bought it cause its "NEW PEARL JAM"...something to fill my addiction for the next few months...if i get a signed boxset THAT IS AN ADDED BONUS ..i did NOT PAY for the autographs.. i payed for th box and everything inside and when i get i will play the shit out it, till the wheels fall off....once again like in my other post i dont even want the signed box...im willing to trade it to some body for a few posters....that i have been trying to get my hands on for months now......

    long story short WE ARE ALL HAPPY WITH THE BOXSET minus TWO people....this guy and the other who didnt know it had records..........

    protect the art of music.....spread the jam
