Hi everyone, I really didn't want to start a new thread for this but I've basically spent half my day searching and I can't find the answer to my question.

I've heard that PM will be limited to only 250,000 copies so I would like to know where I can pre-order it if I live in Australia? Are there any online stores where I can do this?

If anyone from Aus has pre-ordered it, or if anyone in general can help, it would be much appreciated.

Cheers :)

I have no idea if it will work for Australia, but try here:

:nice:

Thankyou :) I'll try that, but it says I need an account. Do I have to make a specific one for the store? I receive emails from that site sometimes so I'm not sure if I already have an account with them?

I have no idea, sorry! You might want to try creating a new account if you don't remember having one already. Good luck. :)

Thankyou, it looks like it will work :) :) :)

Australia has it released two days before the UK.

 

Try and go to JB HiFi's on the saturday it is released and if you have no luck then pre-order it.

 

I am *pretty* certain from what I know so far that stores will have some, maybe try a bigger one nearer a city.

 

Australia WILL have copies, just not masses.

 

 

Found a link:

*SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY THOUGH* but should be alright to pre-order from them, you'd think :thinking:.

THANKYOU ONCE AGAIN.

I have it paid and preordered to MY ADDRESS so hopefully everything will be all good (Y)

:D :D

Thanks Jizo, I will be keeping my eye on JB as well, just in case this pre-order doesnt fall through.

Coldplay.com takes ages to ship to Aussie just so you know

 

And the only details are that we're definitely getting the bundled version (VLV+EP) but not the stand-alone. I think Annie emailed EMI Australia about what's going on there but nobody's really certain as the release has been really disorganized in Australia, nobody knows what's going on apart from the fact that the only confirmed physical release is the bundle

 

Which... I don't want. :veryangry2:

Which... I don't want. :veryangry2:

 

Stupid Coldplay (well EMI) making me pay for VLV twice :angry: :P.

I have a gift voucher for Sanity that I saved, so it's all good

Cobalt, when you say ages, how long roughly? lol.

I'm not fussed as long as I get one. And since I've already paid, I'll just listen to the leaks if the wait is too long.

And yeah, that's why I started this thread, because everywhere I've looked/enquired has stated/listed the deluxe edition of VLV, and no member of Coldplaying in their right mind does not already own a copy :p

This would have been so much easier if it was made available on itunes, I'm sure it would be cheaper for the band too, like in the instance of it not selling very well as they think it might judging from the limited release.

Well my purple X&Y Coldplay shirt... I think that took two months

Ouch, that's rough.

I'll have my fingers crossed for a better outcome lol

I went into JB Hifi and the dude said they were coming in. He asked if I wanted to pre-order one, but I asked if there would be enough, and he said yes. So there you go!

 

That's the VLV special edition though. I dont think the Ep is being sold seperately in CD form?

This is what Chris' letter said:

 

 

So I don't know why it wouldn't be on iTunes :thinking:.

 

And yeah, JB's is pretty good with releases, just get there saturday to secure a copy.

Yep EP IS sold separately.

Sanity :)

 

Me personally, I am gonna have it on thursday, or friday be the latest :) employed by Myer, and there is little Virgin store where my friend works :)

SWEET!

 

<$20 Sanity Gift Voucher3

EMI haven't replied yet :(

 

Sanity eh? hmmm.....

Fuck i wont be able to get the hard copy...

i don't think it'll be too much of a problem. i mean, it's coldplay. viva la vida was on the charts for a million years. prospekt's will definitely be available, just probably not as widely. shame jb won't have it though, they're usually so much cheaper than sanity.

I just checked the Big W website and they will only be stocking the deluexe edition on the 24th November (Monday).

Which Sanity do you guys from around my area think I should pop around to? I'm guessing the standalone will only be at largish stores and I was planning to go out with one of my friends and buy it in the afternoon on the Saturday at Watergardens (this is Melbourne I am talking of btw)

See youse are lucky. Your friends actually like coldplay. the closest store that stocks it is 1 hour away. Oh well. I can wait.

No, I have a friend that tolerates Coldplay and makes fun of my crush on Chris by singing in an annoying voice "we live in a pitiful woooorrrlllddd" which always annoys me because I like Don't Panic. :angry:
