FlipBack Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Anybody got any guesses on how much it will cost? :inquisitive: I hope it isn't too much but I'll probably get it anyways! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted__Logic Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 At least $50 I think.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Leo Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I second the $50 guess. What I hope is that it will be available all over the world. I would love to order it online as I did with the ETIAW EP. Whatever the cost, I will buy it though! Too good to miss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlipBack Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 I am hoping it isn't more than $50(+ S&H)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

66 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I'd guess higher, $85 us-ish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getithom Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Really, guys? I'm pretty sure it's going to be around $30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I bet it will be $75. Between all the stuff I'm going to be buying for my collection, I'll probably end up spending about $150 on this release... :\ totally worth it :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nopix Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 i thought(well, i still think) its gonna be around 100€ :stunned: coz...you're getting the album...a vinyl, a book (!), photos, diaries and even more extra stuff... i can imagine it's going to be packed very nicely... I just hope its gonna be available worldwide!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I just hope its gonna be available worldwide!! :D If it wasn't I'm sure we could come up with some kind of reimbursement system for the Coldplayers who do have access to it! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Philosopher Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I am crazy, but I will buy it anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R's Symphony Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 $40-60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Do you think it will be available both in the store and online, or just online? I hope in retail too! I hate ordering things that I want really, really badly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SprayCanSoul Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I reckon €42!!:laugh3: On a serious note : €59.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I reckon €42!!:laugh3: That's a possibility. :lol: If Coldplay weren't on a major record label, I bet they'd do that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footyfan10 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I can't see more than $40 US. If it was a corporate idea I'd say more but this is clearly from the band. Therefore anything over that might feel like robbery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I bet it's pretty damn corporate. I think this is similar to the Radiohead Newspaper album thing they had for TKOL. I think it was $48-$53 USD. And that's as independent as you can get. Seeing that Coldplay is on a huge label, I'd be willing to bet it can't be under $50 USD at least. More realistically $65-$70.

ColdplayingfromKansas Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I'm guessing somewhere from $50-70 USD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Limited editions of things like this usually aren't sold in stores because there aren't enough to stock so many retailers. I think it's fair to say that it'll be online only, possibly turning up in one or two nice record stores in cities like NYC and London. My guess is around $75 USD, maybe as much as $90. New vinyl records themselves usually cost around $25-30 alone, PLUS this will have a CD and a very nice book. Pop-up things are much more delicate and hard to produce, so I think you can wager that the book alone would cost $30+ in itself if it were to be sold separately. I'm unclear as to whether the "exclusive content" mentioned will be part of the book or put into the package separately. Previous limited-edition things like this that I've bought or considered buying from other artists (Radiohead, Julian Casablancas etc) have cost around $80, and I think this will be about the same. Just because it sounds like it comes from the band's own brain doesn't mean EMI will let them market it for whatever they want--they're going to want to make a profit off of it considering they're hurting and it's uncertain whether or not they'll have the Coldplay cash cow in the future to keep them afloat. It would be lovely if they could get a compromise price down to about $50, but I have a feeling it'll be more like $70-80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You managed to say what I wanted to say in much less space :lol: Radiohead is much more in control of their own pricing, and the limited editions of IR and TKOL were $50+ (I think IR was like $80, but I can't remember), so I think this is going to be a bit more pricey if EMI has anything to say about it. ^:surprised: You always explain everything so well! :) Aww, thanks :P.

anacaren08 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I just wish I knew when we could preorder and the price. I have school stuff to buy, like tons of books, and I need to plan out when to buy this. :\ How long do they sell these kind of things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on no information at all, my guess is around the time "Paradise" is released :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
