blackchickintheback Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 That's the question. I don't know...my love for Coldplay's faltering right now, this is the first iTunes Card I've had since I got my new iPod. :uhoh: I have $10.20 left and to pre-order is $9.99. :confused: Help me out guys.

deeterrocks101 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I think you should. seeing that Viva la vida and violet hill are amazing, It would be an awesome album. thats my opinion though.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackchickintheback Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 Well im going to get it eventually, but i don't know WHEN. I can either a) pre-order and not have to worry about running out to the store June 16 or b) run out to the store June 16. And I kind of don't want to pay for something i can't listen to for another month. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeterrocks101 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 get it off of amazon. they have it on there and usually it comes to your house in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hyperfried Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Personally, I'm not going to, and I'll buy it ASAP when they release it in stores - I'm worried that I'll preorder it, then realize that they have a deluxe edition or something.

Pseudonym Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I know its not too important, but if you buy it on iTunes you wont get the jewel case and artwork and everything. That might not seem like a big deal now, but you may end up wanting the actual CDs to all the albums. Thats why Im waiting and getting it at the store. Plus, I dont want Viva La Vida now, Ill just over-listen and get bored of it. I want as many fresh songs with the album as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 i say run out to the store and get it on june 17. it's more fun that way, and personally, i like having the physical CD. but if you can't get out that day, i say preorder on itunes, because as far as i know, you can download your preordered album at the stroke of midnight, which is SO much better than waiting until the stores open and you have a moment to go get it. i wouldnt preorder on amazon or any other way that it'll be mailed to you, because it won't get to you as quickly as it would if you just downloaded it or even went out to get it yourself. i'd be tearing out my hair waiting for the UPS man, quite literally. i know it feels weird paying for something you can't have yet, but if you really want it as fast as possible, i say PREORDER! (and might i ask out of curiosity why your coldplay love is faltering?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 See, I wasnt a Coldplay fan back when X&Y first came out. Was it sold out in all stores for a while, or could you just walk into Best Buy the day it comes out and pick it up? Please someone let me know cuz this could be my final decision-maker!!

Black Rose Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Depends how many copies Best Buy buy. If rumour has it, HMV in the UK is going to be doing something rather special to shift units, so they might enter the price-war with the big 4 supermarkets.

Please someone let me know cuz this could be my final decision-maker!! i walked into FYE on the day it came out, and there were two copies of X&Y left on the shelf. i bought them both. however, my area is FILLED with CD stores, so i doubt that everywhere was sold out. my mall itself had two FYE's and a strawberries at the time, so i figure that there were more copies in the building. and i didn't get the impression that i just bought the last two copies in the store, either...i think they probably restocked the shelves soon after i left. i say get out as early as you can, like around 10 AM, and don't give up if one place is out. worse comes to worse, you come home and download it.

Guest LiquidSky Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I think I'm going to wait :shifty: I'm unsure still.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 That's interesting David. Do you mean HMV are going to sell it relatively cheap, or are they planning on doing a "Buy Viva La Vida and get another CD free" kind of deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyToPlease Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Depends how many copies Best Buy buy. If rumour has it, HMV in the UK is going to be doing something rather special to shift units, so they might enter the price-war with the big 4 supermarkets. Hmmm, interesting. It'll have to be an impressive offer to compete with the likes of Tesco - I remember for x&y they priced it at 6.99 or something ridiculously cheap - I went on a mission that morning at 7am to buy it, probably costing just as much extra in petrol. The frustrating part was that my old car only had a tape player and had to drive all the way home before I could hear any of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean HMV are going to sell it relatively cheap, or are they planning on doing a "Buy Viva La Vida and get another CD free" kind of deal? It was mentioned in some business papers this morning. For X&Y, all I can remember was Tesco was doing a "buy X&Y and get £5 off another cd/dvd/game chart purchase". But the best deals are the loss-makers, where the shops are hoping you will buy something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42rock89 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Im gonna wait for the physical copy. I remember becoming a big coldplay fan shortly before X&Y came out and getting my copy of X&Y, running back home and playing it :D most amazing thing ever, im gonna do that with Viva La Vida, no doubt :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I wasn't a fan when X&Y came out - I ordered it off CD WOW for about £6 in November 2005 :P This time I'm looking forwar to going into a shop and buying it :D Then for the buses to be delayed by a few hours, and the trains to all break down. That better hadn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Rose Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 It's a battle between pre-ordering it, so you know it's coming that day or risking the high street to see which shop is doing the best deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navegador Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I'd pre-order if I was you, but brazilians can't use iTunes and there is no store in my city pre-selling it. DAMN! :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TraceOddity Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I only said no because I don't have a credit card, so I don't have a choice. And I still love going into the music store and buying it on the release date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
