I've only been able to find the digipack, and I've looked in every store in the county that sells music. Curse you Wal-Mart, for driving all three independent music stores out of business. I shake my fist at you. The packaging for The Eraser is so awesome. :P

I've preordered the album already, so whether I want it or not it's mine. :p That being said, having heard the leak, I would have paid twice what I did for the album. Effing amazing.

I gave up and gave in. I have to say... accapting that I have no self restraint was totally worth hearing the album early.

^Completely off topic, but I clicked on your Last.fm thing and you have fantastic music taste. :smug: I have found that listening to all of the Muse albums I've been ignoring lately is a great way to keep my mind off the leak.

Grumble grumble grumble. No free MSG tickets. I have pledged not to listen to the leak. There is a thread that keeps luring me in like it's an angler fish. Today is not a good day. :P

Wow, so every time you change the title I click on it, thinking it's a new thread...:dozey:

The album leaked while I was in the computer lab at school and I spent the entire period having an intense debate with myself over what to do. In the end I decided that the self-gratification of knowing I resisted, plus the extended period of anticipation and experience of having the physical CD outweighed the idea of instant gratificaion combined with that terrible feeling I get after I listen to a leaked album. :\ That being said... This isn't easy. I'm also swearing off all other Coldplay music in order to remove sources of temptation and to allow me to have a fresh ear for songs like Violet Hill, Viva la Vida, Lost, etc when the album is released.

Ugly people are the best. I didn't really find it exceptionally funny until I reached "I wish death upon their kittens". Wtf? :lol:

Groan. I was really excited for a second there. Not that mind getting to watch the effects again.

I think I entered twice because of it. I'm not one of those people who clicks "send" over and over. :P I was really worried it was just my account for a while, but you have given me new hope! I honestly could hug you. Do we know when they're sending the tickets?

I was thinking... Did anyone else enter with a Hotmail account and find that it took an extremely long time to get the first confirmation email? Because I got one sent to my Yahoo account three days before the Hotmail one. Perhaps this means that some of our congratulatory messages are just... delayed. :smug:

I am in PA too. Based upon this reasoning, I deserve tickets. :P

I just checked my email and had one unread message... from Apple with my iTunes receipt. GAH. I almost died. If the whole NY residents thing is true, I'm even more pissed. My cousin, who lives within five minutes of the Garden, has been wanting me to come up and visit for months and I didn't even think to suggest that she enter the contest. Not cool.

Gutted. I, being jobless and all that jazz, am unable to afford tickets so this was my only hope to see them live this tour. Well, I've never won anything else in my life anyway...

In the end, why do we care what anyone over on their message board has to say about Coldplay? At this point, none of them are over here bothering us, something I can definitely see happening if we "start some shit." Plus Radiohead is, in my opinion, so amazing that they are incomparable to any other band on the planet. :P
