I really want to get the hard copy... but Im also reallllyy impatient ive been waiting too long. What is everyone else doing?

Downloaded it last week, and I'm going down to the shops tomorrow morning.

I'm holding out for the tuesday US CD release. I've waited this long just so I could get the experience of opening the CD case and sliding it in my stereo. I'm not a fan of mp3 albums simply because you don't get the same experience

I have only bought 1 CD in the past 5 years as far as I can remember. I buy everything on iTunes now.

 

Coldplay is different though... I ordered the CD through Amazon and will be getting my copy early next week... Going to be a rough time!

Im going old school and getting the CD on tuesday. Its a tradition for me! :D

Well, actually I found out that it is actually the 24th for the US. So I'm gunna head to barnes and noble tomorrow morning I guess!

Preordered from iTunes, will be downloading it tonight. After seeing the CD packaging is nothing more than some graffiti pictures and a shot of the band, its really not worth getting the CD. At least they could have included lyrics! I kind of wish the iTunes would've been iTunes Plus for additional content, but I'll be happy with the download nonetheless.

Ha, I'll have all the versions by year end as I'm getting the pop-up edition. But in the meantime I get the mp3 version tomorrow and ordered the regular CD edition from Amazon as they were giving away $4 of free mp3 downloads with the purchase making the CD only $5.99. Felt it was worth it...

Cd definitely :)

But I already have a FLAC download of it!! ;);)

For me it's the CD. So I can hear it in the car. It's also a pleasure when you go to the shop buying a new disc !

Bought the Pop-up edition, so I get my Mp3 tomorrow, but I'll have to wait till December for my physical copies. I'm too cheap to go out and buy another standard edition copy tomorrow. Normally I would have gone out to buy the CD, so this is a wierd exception for me.

I bet £10 that Amazon UK will be selling the download for £3.99 next week.

Bought the pop-up edition, but will buy the CD for my mum tomorrow and borrow it to import it on iTunes, look at the booklet ,etc. There is still something special for me in going to the store on release date: maybe it ´s old-fashioned, but there it is. Moreover I could not bear to listen to MX in a lower quality than the intended one. I have all their albums on CD and this will be no exception!

 

(no lyrics in the booklet? WTH? I am disappointed about that: why are there lyrics in the japanese version though?)

Cd has better overall quality and texture.

I will be popping into HMV on my way to university in the morning to buy my copy. :D

I predict HMV will be selling it for £7.99 tomorrow only]

 

That if they have any sense and want to get people in the stores (where they can try and sell worthless HMV Pure cards where you need to spend thousands to get a £5 voucher)

The leak has been tieing me over till i get the CD on tuesday. I think it will be the first CD I'm going to buy since Hybrid Theory

^You need to buy Viva la Vida then. :nod:

I pre-ordered the CD, a physical copy of an album has way more sentimental value to me! (on a side note, anyone have an actual flac copy of the album, ripped from a CD? the version i have seems to be from the leak. please pm!)

Well, actually I found out that it is actually the 24th for the US. So I'm gunna head to barnes and noble tomorrow morning I guess!

 

If you can get to Target, it's $8.99 or for $17.99 you get the cd and a t-shirt.

You know the pop up comes with a cd too?

Ha, yeah I do. It's just it's integrated into the Vinyl (per the video Parlophone released) so I want the jewel case version so I can store it with all my other CDs. As Amazon was having that promo, figured I could depart with an additional $5.99 to help them in the charts here (as I think the pop-up counts towards UK charts?) and I get a CD edition sooner. Win Win! :thumbsup:

I am just going to buy the cd plus the pop-up edition :)

CD all the way, baby. I'm a firm believer in buying CDs so I do that for all the bands I like.

 

I don't mind iTunes (I have heaps) but a CD means a lot more to me than an mp3 version will ever will.
