i really wonder why we still pre-order anything from ten club when there's nothing special to it?? it seems if you buy anywhere else you get more for the same money. i just read that there are 2 bonus tracks on the best buy exclusive version of the eddie vedder water on the road blue ray. wtf!!! if i order via ten club i usually spend more money, wait much longer and get less content!!!??? great fan club!! respect. way back stuff used to be limited and with extra tracks or special packaging but now...nothing. with sh** like this best buy offer especially the non-us fans feel betrayed. and by the way: shame on the analog shirt. crap.

    Ah, the 2 bonus tracks on the Blu-ray disc Best Buy is selling will also be on the Bluray copy 10club is selling. All Along The Watchtower & Blackbird are not exclusive to Best Buy.

    All versions of the DVD and blu ray have the 2 bonus tracks. But yeah I don't get why us here in Australia have to wait a month when we don't even have best buy or an alternative to get it. I can understand the exclusive being in the us and Canada but why do other regions still have to wait too. It's not gonna effect the best buy exclusive if we can get it at the same time in aus or europe.

    agree. I wouldn't wear that thing to paint around the house. For the extra $20 they're charging they couldn't come up with a cool shirt graphic.. or one that simply says PJ or Pearl Jam on it???

    Nope. It's not exclusive to Best Buy Canada. As for Europe, many online & in stores there like play.com released the Blu-ray 2 day's or so before the USA Best Buy stores. It's Canada & Australia and many other's that are getting the shaft with these exclusive releases & I don't like it at all. :|

    Yeah it should be available everywhere at the same time, fair enough you can only get it at one store in America, but you can still get it. Here we can't. Are they hoping people can't wait and get the DVD then get the blu ray when it is released a month later?? I have not got the DVD, and by the time the blu ray comes out I'll be over it and forget to get it. I have seen it though a mate picked it up. I have a stack of live DVDs and blu rays in my drawer that Ive watched once and never again so I may not get it at all. So by delaying the blu ray they have potentially missed out on a sale, not that one sale probably matters to them but it all adds up.

    If you live near a Best Buy, stop complaining and go buy it at Best Buy. Not that hard.

    I agree I love the 10 club and they always have received everything I ordered ontime.
    I have yet to receive anything in the mail and I could walk over to Best Buy and spend another 30 but that's not the point. Point is we should have received them the week of May 23rd and when I contacted the TC.
    I was very nice and explained how great they were and:
    I received 1 word answers on why they were delayed? I ordered everything as a package and since the song book doesn't come out until the end of June so that is when I will receive everything?
    I then told them to cancel my cd and dvd order and did not receive any word back.
    After the 9 hours of my life I gave up to get Alpine Tickets which thank god I got! The 10Club should be nothing but nice to us.
    Anyway enough ranting! EV Providence in a week!!

    Very helpful. If you live near a best buy. I think my nearest is 12,000km, so I might just pop out tomorrow and get it. I never would have thought to do so til you said.

    Like I said, it makes no sense for other countries to not get the blu ray at the same time as the DVD.

    Amazon's site says that they're monitoring the strike and will use alternate shipping for places that Canada post isn't currently working.

    That doesn't make it a good design.

    I understand that completely, but 10C didn't design it, don't blame them!

    Got it and I agree. I think a lot of stuff 10C gets blamed for around here (i.e. fan club single) is really beyond their control.

    For sure. I understand completely if someone doesn't like something, but they shouldn't point fingers unless they know all the facts. Not talking about you, obviously ;)
