Ive heard only 3000 were being sold at HMV right? Is there anyway I can get this limited 5 disc set? How can I make sure I will get the 5th disc?
Also is it worth getting Retro if I only have Substance and Technique as NO cd's.?????
Any help would be great--thanks!
I wish more than anything for my 'rents to walk into Best Buy and pick me up the 5 disc for Christmas (or my b-day ;). ) unforutnately, the chances of even the 4 disc being in stock by the holidays (or even at all) is slim.
Because, Best Buy only has 12,583,123 copies of Faith Hill and Shania Twain's new albums to move

Get it the same way as everyone else on the website has been getting it - it's been talked about like 100 times. Order it from hmv.uk
It's no longer 3000 limited, it's "first UK print" limited...
So if you order it, you'll get it.
(Feels like saying, if you build it, he will come)
What do you mean spotnick?
If I order it from HMV now what are the chances i get the 5th disc?

As MES put it, "Glasgow Advice" ? ;)
Originally posted by Nikos Malakas Isn't it possible to get the 5th disc from the Canadian website? What is the url to that?
You will pay more if you do that than importing the box set yourself from a UK website.
As for the price in US currency, should be 40-45$ I guess since it's 60 CDN$

GBP 27.99 = USD 43.86 (and more or less the same in Euros)

I pre-ordered the box set at amazon.co.uk, and asked about the bonus disk and that's what I got for reply. Nevertheless, it looks a bit strange, as I don't think, it will be out before the other places at amazon, perhaps the customer service was just consulting their outdated information. Any comments?

Well, if you take off the funny symbol in front of the 2, you are left with 27.99. Now for the hard part: find your $ symbol on the keyboard... got it? OK, now position your curser (the blinky thing on the screen) in front of the 2 (where the funny symbol thing was removed) and hit the $ key (rememeber to hold shift) - not you should have $27.99, that would be the US equivalent. I can send pictures if you are still having problems.
Umm...actually, that won't work at all. That's an English pound sign and not a Euro sign. While the monetary value of the Euro is about 1:1, the Pound is worth more, that's why the posts above yours give currency convertor sites and say it's about $43.
