    Just ordered the $300 super deluxe set. I'm disappointed it was so expensive to get the vinyl, but I had to get it since my wife loves Trent.
    I'm at home since 4 hours, thinking about which one to get. :confused: :eek:
    I'll get the 75$ one now I guess. Been thinking about it for ages, but I can't justify 300$. Ooohhh I'm gonna regret that, I'm so gonna regret that. :D
    Kids! Bringing about Armageddon can be dangerous. Do not attempt it in your own home.

    Is it loud like Year Zero, or better produced like The Fragile?

    My download kept cutting out and I was getting error messages, now it says I've exceeded the download limit! I've emailed the support team but had no reply, dammit I really wanna hear this record!
    from trent:

    Update: The response to this album has been overwhelming, causing our website to slow to a crawl. We THOUGHT we were ready, but…
    We’ve been adding more servers to accommodate the unexpected demand and we expect to be running smoothly in the next few hours. In the meantime, if you’ve had any problems with downloads from the Ghosts site, don’t worry - you’ll be able to use your download link again when the site is more stable. Thanks everyone for making this such an immediate success.

    Have any of you tried some torrent sites? I paid for the $5 version but I couldn't download it at all, so I downloaded a torrent of it.

    Usually I wouldn't even bother paying. I'm a bit selfish like that. But I just think that this is an amazingly cool thing to do for fans of the band and I felt like I needed to show some support.

    it's on amazon for $5. if you are anxious to get it immediately, just get it there. still a great deal.

    i am about 10 tracks into it and i LOVE it.

    Yeah the torrent is going at snails pace too, I may have to give in and buy it again from amazon - though I'm really skint at the moment and I could really do without paying for an album I already own again, plus there's a principle involved there somewhere.....but dammit the anticipation is killing me!

    The download is taking forever for me...not very fast speeds. It will probably get faster later on in the day.

    Buwaaaaaah.... after *thinking* about which one to get I made my mind up hours ago and just can't get it. nin store doesn't like me, torrents take ages.
    and now amazon tells me I can't get it when I'm not from the us. awesome. anyone from the us willing to borrow me their address to let amazon think that I'm from the us? :D (it IS worth a try...)
    this album isn't meant for me, is it...

    I feel your pain! I still have zero per cent on the torrent download (not sure why I'm leaving it running really!), and no response from the NIN customer support people. I don't think I'm gonna get to hear the record today.....

    me neither - seeing as it's already 11pm anyways lol.
    this sucks, I have one song that a friend of mine sent me "because it's so awesome". I didn't even bother to write the support-people. this is so frustrating!!

    Well after listening, I don't think the album is that amazing. Some good tracks but a lot of it just washed over me. Still absoutely brilliant of Reznor to do this though, and no doubt I'll begin to appreciate it all when I've got more time/baked.

    took about 3 minutes for the store to load up, then another for 3 for the ZIP/save icon to pop up, and 20+ minutes for the download (the free 9 songs)

    assuming that since i've paid for it and it's cc licensed its ok to post this here....

    you and 3 other people according to bitcomet! Glad to see at least some people are willing to help us poor bastards out! I've managed to get 0.1% in the last four hours or so....

    No it's not just you, they are having major problems, they don't expect it to be sorted until tomorrow morning.
