Only bought the one copy today, though I'm sure I'll end up buying a few more as gifts.

I have special plans for a second copy though. There's someone who I never got to say goodbye to, and it's really important to me that they hear the stuff on this album. Hopefully it'll get into their hands.

Bought 40 at Best Buy today (25 of which will be for a radio giveaway tomorrow), have 3 on pre-order (need to pick them up from the store still) and have 3 more coming in the mail. Altogether, 46 copies. When I was at Best Buy this morning (around 9:45AM) the cashier said "everybody is buying that album today."

I'll probably wind up buying a few more for friends and work colleagues, but for now the total is 46.

i bought 20 copies so i could give them away as gifts.  also, i like to have a copy or two around for when my friends make fun of gnr.  then i can just hand them the cd and say have alisten before you talk a bunch of shit because you dont even know who's in the band so how can you have an unbiased opinion?

Why buy it on iTunes and disc, when you can rip a better digital version from your own disc? I must admit I don't get that.
Is that true? I thought the quality would be the same?

Well my understanding is that iTunes sells 128 kbps quality digital files...
When you rip them yourself you can do so at any rate you want up to 320 kbps, which sounds way better and much closer to disc quality...
You can even copy it into a totally lossless format.


Or am I wrong, and are i-Tunes selling better quality downloads now?
Even if though, you can rip your own store-bought disc yourself to whatever quality iTunes might be selling it at, so I'd rather spend my money on a t-shirt or whatever.

1 iTunes download (pre-order)
1 CD + 1 Vinyl shipped from BestBuy (pre-order)
4 CDs + 4 Vinyls in-store pick-up at BestBuy (pre-order)

when I was in the store, all the GNR fans (including myself) went right to the rack with the BestBuy flyers in it to grab them as souvenirs.
the sales people were all like:  confused  WTF??  people usually throw those on the floor or ground outside but every GNR fan that's been in here are grabbing them up like they're gold or something!!!  hihi


One other thing I'd like to note is that from the very first pre-order that I placed (the one that was taken down within a half hour), up to and including when I picked up my order in the store, the customer reps/sales people at BestBuy went way out of their way to make sure I was happy with my shopping experience with them.  When I placed that first pre-order, they had six versions listed ... Cover A (cd + vinyl), Cover B (cd + vinyl), Cover C (cd + vinyl).  As each of the B & C covers were cancelled, they gave me FREE coupons there were worth MORE than what I would have paid if those versions actually existed!!!  And at the store today, the store peoples went out of their way to make sure everything went smoothly.  ok

I preordered one and bought 20 at Best Buy today. One is for my car, one is for my home and the other 19 are for worthy people who have been good to me this year.

I bought 4 copies at an independent record store on Thursday.  I will be buying a few more, maybe 3, this week at an actual Best Buy.
