Miffed about the Super Box Set

HyenaHyena Posts: 19
edited October 2011 in The Porch
So apparently, now if you buy the super box set (VS/Vitalogy), you get a free CD, possibly signed by the Pearl Jam members. I bought the set right when it came out. As a result, it looks like I'm excluded from this.

I'm bummed, because if I want that CD, I'd have to pay another $150 for ANOTHER box set. Anyone else feel that early purchasers should be included in this? Like, they could ship us a CD as well.
Thoughts?

    True enough. I really hope they do. I emailed them about it. Hope I get a response.

    As much as I would like for them to send a cd to all that have ordered in the past, I don't see it happening. My reasoning is "shipping" and going back to look at who ordered what is probably time consuming

    I'm sure we all feel that way. However the band sure as hell doesn't. They just want money at this point it seems.

    Probably. Damn disappointing.

    i think it's more about people getting something with it that you stupidly can't get anywhere else.

    i think they would solve a lot of problems if they just put that vault cd for sale in goods....

    You're damn right I do.
    In all honesty, that isn't particularly related. Your example is due to technology changes and such.
    I wouldn't consider my statement "bitching". It's an observation and statement of disappointment.
    It's just my opinion.

    Got the cd at Alpine Valley. Question is do I spend another 150.00 hoping I get one of the eight signed by the band. Not knowing how many they are selling this go round I think I shall refrain. First 500 get free cd, how many more deluxe box sets after the 500. It could be 8 in 10,000 which are really lousy odds. Besides I ordered two when they first started selling them.

    People who bought this set early have it in their hands guaranteed. People who waited and are trying to get it now have no such guarantee. Its the same with anything, buy early and know you are going to get, and wait later hoping something might be cheaper and gamble that you might not get it at all.

    it's my understanding that only within the first 500 sold will 8 be signed.
    at least that's how i read the email.
    seems santos said there were 80 of the 500 left, so still time to get a shot if you desire.
    8 out of 500 ain't a whole lot....10 would've been nicer :P....but whatever.....still kinda cool!


    edit - directly copy/pasted from the email:

    Of those 500 orders, exactly 8 of those box sets will be signed by the 5 members of Pearl Jam. You could receive one of the 8 signed copies (randomly distributed).


    so an 8 in 500 chance.
    i wouldn't personally drop another 150 for that, but i never ordered it at all, until now...
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    Why don't they just let those of us who ordered it a long time ago download the Moore show free.
    That would solve the issue and not have much of a cost.

    Sheesh people...get a grip. If you want the CD, I'm sure someone will burn you a copy...

    10C could come out and say from now on membership is free to everyone currently a member and people would bitch because they had been a paying member longer than someone that just signed up last year
