footyfan10 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 So it's early Saturday morning EDT in the US and we still don't have news on the release of ETIAW EP from Coldplay. If we hadn't heard any of the songs I'd probably be bugging wondering what was holding them up. Thanks to Coldplay, I've not had to wait and have just been able to keep myself busy in the mean time. But I'm starting to wonder if the delay is in fact a positive thing. Perhaps I'm simply hoping... Does anyone else think we might get an extra song in the US? And obviously that would suck for the ROTW but with illegal downloading these days it really just denies true Coldplay fans the ability to BUY it. Not hear it. SOoo, I also mention this because the band did say that we would have additional tracks and so far all that's been mentioned is MTM. I'm hoping this means Coldplay will bless us with an additional track. And that they also won't let the US wait. Fingers crossed there isn't just a delay due to record company crap.

coldinmo Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I don't think it means we'll get an additional track. I'm wondering if it's a pricing issue? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Timewarp Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I think they're making us wait cause: A) We get ETIAW earlier...well Britain had to wait B) Pricing C) Server issues? :confused: D) And the highly unlikely, we might bet an extra track, BECAUSE, since we're bundled with Japan, and they usually get more hidden tracks :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdplayingfromKansas Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 A) I hope not! I'm too impatient :P B) Based on the pricing in the UK iTunes store, it seems that they'll be getting one 'free' song as they only have to pay 1.99 (or thereabouts) for three songs. Maybe the US/Japan stores don't want to lose a sale? :shrug: C) If the guys had server issues, wouldn't that mean that no one could pre-order it? :thinking: D) *crosses fingers* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_escapist Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 can't believe we don't yet know the reasons of the delay in the US and Japan stores! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldinmo Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 can't believe we don't yet know the reasons of the delay in the US and Japan stores! Yeah, it should be available in the US and Japan now, and it's not.:\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackplay Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I think it's because in the US, albums and singles sales are tracked from Monday to Sunday, it's a different system than the UK. And usually US releases happen on Tuesdays, so we might see something pop up on Itunes. Let's be patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be more likely to buy that if they hadn't released the ETIAW single in the US the same day as the rest of the world (Friday, June 3). Something else is going on. All the news release says is it'll be available in the US "very soon". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultravioletlight25 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Interesting, I just bought it off the U.S. Itunes store. You can buy the tracks individually too for 1.29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icedude2010 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Got 'er! Major Minus is on amazon, but not Moving to Mars. MTM needs to get some serious love from Coldplay! It's so fabulous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Timewarp Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Ok the digital bundle is available in the US; but, NO BLOODY ADDITIONAL TRACKS!! Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iduran20 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 The EP has been available on the US Itunes store since midnight. :P Well for me at least...I wonder why on Coldplay.com it says we have to wait until next week. :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CupitorVeritatis Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 ^i think it was a glitch in iTunes that worked in our favor and I wouldn't be surprised if it dissapears rather soon :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iduran20 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 oh okay then. :D Well good thing i already bought them in case they disappear. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldinmo Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 ^i think it was a glitch in iTunes that worked in our favor and I wouldn't be surprised if it dissapears rather soon :D I wonder since it's supposed to be a digital bundle. I don't think we should be able to download the tracks individually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iduran20 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 ^hmmm...perhaps not, but I did. Although I love the song, I didn't want to have to pay for Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall twice. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackplay Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Just bought MM and MTM on the US store. For some reason the songs sound better when you buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I love the song, I didn't want to have to pay for Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall twice. :P Oh, I love ETIAW but, like you, I bought the single, so I just bought MM and MTM. It's definitely nice that we have that option here in the US (even it might be only temporarily).:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icedude2010 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Just bought MM and MTM on the US store. For some reason the songs sound better when you buy them. It's very true, plus I always buy the songs of artists I like. Like for Coldplay I'd willingly buy an album twice, just for funsies.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
