You do not honestly think that you really will get a proper answer from Fletcher about this? It will probably sound like "Oh, I don' t know", "not interested in these things" or "I'm sure there will be something nice"...

I guess it will just be wait and see!

Whatever transpires, at the end of the day I'm sure it is us hardcores who will be taken advantage of. >:(

I fear you are right, but as a hardcore fan I am already bent over and ready to receive.

So, I assume I should not consider me as a "fan" anymore as I don't play their ugly game.

I'm not playing either.  I 've ordered the 2 CD and will wait until, hopefully, the Super Deluxe is reduced in price later!  ;)

According to the official site, The new album was released On the 9th of April?? ;D

Anyway despite the day being the 3rd, not 4th release in the UK they also say that they will "ship" on that date.  So the big question is: when will we get our goods?  Amazon promise "delivery" on day of release, ie the 3rd.  Don't tell me they'll post the goods from Canada!!

Most unlikely. Might be shipping somewhere from the UK. I found the shipping cost to be low. But no one knows.

I thought so, and the merchandise will be posted from there.  This will mean we in the UK will be about a week late in receiving our copies if we order through the official site!

Amazon are charging over

What a wonder, the Mercury official site has sent me this just after I ordered from the MK.com. It offeres the super deluxe edition for 60 Euros!!!MK.com offers it for 65!!! But haven't checked the shipping cost. The MK.com has real good shipping! (5.8 Euros for the box-10.80 Euros for all the editions, together)
And here is another question, I thought that MK.com said something like "US fans can only find these editions through MK.com" Mercury is the American branch company, isn't it?

Thanks for making it clear ds1984. But still, there is the thing with exclusivity and most importantly PRICE! They are both official so what's the point in doing this "competition" from that early on? It is not as if they are going to drive the price down!!!!Fishy in the air...

Too much days without digging here...

So it finally looks like if you really wants everything, you must buy at least two versions, the deluxe version of 3cd and the box.

Also looks like several shops are pricing it quite cheaper than the GL box except amazon.fr and fnac that have prices of 90 euros... i wonder if they will reduce the price from here to the release date. We already sent messages to amazon.fr telling them about the lower prices, but without any success...

I stick with my early decision. I

No need.

amazon.it sells it now for EUR 56
That's good...

We will have to buy two versions indeed.
But hey, EUR 56 for Super Deluxe and EUR 20 for Deluxe...

GL Box was EUR 85 or something...

I think its the cheaper price by far...

with shipping costs to Spain is 63.22, more cheaper than amazon.de...

But amazon.de ships before...

Does it worth the wait to save almost 10 euros?
