    I bet you PBS will be selling the Limited DVD and Blu-Ray tonight.... They usually sell something during these shows soliciting donations, etc.

    I hope so.

    While that would be great for the US fans, it's not so great for everyone everywhere else. Do PBS sell online or just by phone? And generally do they ship internationally?

    At the very least, to be able to get the content on the 2nd (this one is available on itunes) and 3rd disc. Since the 3rd disc is supposed to be about the fans, the fans should be able to watch it somehow (itunes, digital download purchase, disc)

    Wow, that's on iTunes?

    Hmmm...the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that these BS, anti-independent/anti-fan friendly exclusivity deals are the real reason behind this box set being limited, and nothing else.

    10c BLEW IT on this one.

    I am becoming more disillusioned with this band and fanclub with each passing day. It's so obvious all they care about is making money. The whole point of them shifting away from Epic and starting Monkeywrench you would think would be to get away from the corporate machine....but really they're acting just like the bigwig companies they professed to hate back in the day.

    What kind of band charges its fan club members to post on a board and sells large amounts of all kinds of ridiculous merchandise? They gouge the fans any chance they get and alienate large amounts of the fan base.

    "Please I want to give you all my monies!"

    I have been a loyal fan for 10 years and 10c member for 9 years but I'm pretty much done with this. I won't be renewing, I won't be buying any merch except maybe new music (the last 2 studio albums are trash). And for those who say "if you don't like it, don't buy it." That's not the point. The point is why is Pearl Jam so focused on producing all this merch crap. IT'S ABOUT THE MUSIC. PJ always prided themselves on being underground and grassroots and making tickets and merch, etc. easily affordable for fans. This is not the case anymore.

    It's painfully clear Pearl Jam has taken a 180 degree turn here. And to those who say "well hey that is how they make their money..." Guess what? Every single member of PJ is set for life, EASILY. The things they are doing and have been doing the past few years point to one thing: G R E E D.

    bit rough, but be careful. opinions are frowned upon and/or not allowed in these parts anymore.

    2011 fan club. it's evolution baby.

    I don't give a shit. I am not afraid of anyone or anything and I am not afraid to speak my mind.

    It's especially frustrating because this is Pearl Jam we're talking about here. The band that was supposed to give a shit about its fans, the music and the like. And now here we are and they're selling us backpacks and keychains and socks and making things "exclusive" and "limited" and this and that. It's just garbage. It's total crap and it makes me sick. They're already set for life and they still want more and more and more of our money.

    Considering Santos just posted a thread about the delayed delivery of these but didn't make any comment re: this petition, does anyone else think it's all in vain now? I hate to admit it but it doesn't look we're getting closer to our goal. I'm not throwing in the towel just yet but it just doesn't look good.

    My life has been very hectic lately, and ordering the Blu-Ray slipped my mind. I went to order it the other day, and it was sold out. VERY disappointed. I could give a shit about "limited edition' status. I just want to have the documentary in it's finest quality, and the extra discs of footage. I DON'T EVEN OWN A BLU-RAY PLAYER AT THIS TIME, that didn't stop me from buying Water on the Road though.

    I love this band (while questioning some of their recent business decisions, like this one) and want to own the full PJ20 documentary experience. This isn't a backpack, or a laptop case. This is THE documentary of THE band, and THE fans. I can't believe it was some sort of limited edition run, never to me made available to many fans and 10C members.

    Unfortunate, and unacceptable.

    I'd like to re-remind everyone that Pearl Jam has a Twitter account.

    http://twitter.com/#!/PearlJam

    It couldn't hurt. Please let them know how you feel.

    It's human nature to want something that other people don't have. Slap "limited" on anything and people will buy it. People say PJ fans are the best. Bullshit. Look all the people posting that they shouldn't make anymore DVDs because it will make theirs less limited. If you are a true fan you would want everyone to have a DVD if they want it.

    Limited edition posters, fine. Limited edition shirts, fine. Limited edition backpacks, hoodies, stickers, artwork of any kind, I understand. If a fan doesn't have a certain piece of pearl jam artwork, they can get over it pretty quickly.

    But to deprive us of something of this magnitude, several hours of rare footage of our favorite band, is just cruel and mean and impossible to understand.

    I've seen plenty of things over the last 5-10 years that people have complained about, but I never had an objection until this. Every tenclub member should have the chance to purchase this. I can't possibly fathom any of the band members thinking something along the lines of, "Well, they didn't buy it fast enough, so it's their own fault that they can't see all this great awesome footage that was compiled solely for fans to enjoy."

    It's just pure lunacy. I can't wrap my head around it. I really can't. 14 years of tenclub membership fees, 34 concerts attended, 20-25 of those purchased via official bootleg, every album, every dvd, including deluxe edition Ten & Vs/Vitalogy box sets, somewhere between one and two dozen shirts/hoodies, and about 10 posters. That translates to several thousands of dollars HAPPILY spent over 20 years of loyalty and devotion.

    And at the culmination and celebration of those 20 years, because I waited 3 weeks to gladly give another $60, I am completely denied any chance to own one of the most desirable items the band has ever released.

    All I want is to give another $60 so that I can experience more of what the band has meant to all of us over these past 20 years, and for some reason, they don't want me to.

    I just can't comprehend it.
