Availability of Reissues
Thief of Silence

Since I don't have a credit card right now and didn't really feel like spending $180+ for the 10C box set (especially since my 10 one came with scratched/unplayable cd), I decided that I'd settle with picking up the in-store dexluxe set.
Oddly enough, this set was a bit hard to find this afternoon in Canada. According to two HMV stores in Downtown Ottawa, many of the stores were only allowed to order one of the Deluxe editions, but more of the regular single-disc reissues - obviously missing the live disc.
I'm not sure why this edition would be released in such limited quantities. A search on the HMV website shows that most of the stores only have one copy of the set, if they have it at all. Unless the single-disc editions are going to be great sellers on their own, the sales figures for this series are probably going to be very low...

One thing that's weird is the Amazon.ca store. http://www.amazon.ca/Vitalogy-Pearl-Jam ... 000&sr=8-5 & http://www.amazon.ca/Vs-Pearl-Jam/dp/B0 ... 083&sr=1-3 "Usually ships within 9 to 11 days." ? You would think they would have crates of these reissue Pearl Jam Vs. & Vitalogy CD's. The Amazon.com site has "In Stock" will ship next business day.
I could of sworn somebody day's ago posted a pic here, from Canada, that their local Best Buy store were to sell the Vs & Vitalogy CD's with Exclusive T-shirts. Their Canadian website didn't have any listed. My local store didn't even know about it. BestBuy.com has them for sale but yet again, they don't ship to Canada. Friend from Jersey was able to hook me up.
But again, shocked the reissue CD's are not available here locally. Being that they are Sony & all.
And there is nothing on their website either.

even the single sets are 17.99...they were previously 9.99 a month ago!
I decided this time around to not preorder, because I end up waiting for the disc while it's already on store shelves. Thought I was smarter this time. I am waiting anyway.
That sucks. But wouldn't amazon.ca keep your fixed price of $27.99 that you preordered with instead of changing the price of the product/your already placed receipt a month later to $51.99?
