Once it airs on Monday morning, it will be one of the most illegally spread tracks of the year. So why not just release it on iTunes at the same time as I bet they'd get a huge amount of sales from it.

I think it's a safe bet it'll be on iTunes on Monday. A whole lot of people will be trying to get a good rip and it's a no brainer to try and capitalize on it. There'll probably be an album preorder option as well.
Given that only yesterday U2.com stated that you wont be able to get it until feb 15,
Well, I hope itunes gets its act together and doesn't make you preorder the entire album just to get GOYB which is how it appears now.
Mmm, i was looking at it, and it looks to me like that's excactly what's going down. I think if we're gonna want boots legally on Monday morning, we'll have to cough up the 10 bucks on iTunes. THEN on Feb 16th, the release of the single track.
That's extorsion U2!!!!!!!!!!! Don't let that happen.
^ i agree too, but i just dont see it happening. Given that only yesterday U2.com stated that you wont be able to get it until feb 15, i dont see how we could think anything otherwise. If it happens, it will be a moment of sanity, but theres nothing to say that it will
I tried to preorder just to see if it would start downloading GOYB right away. All I got was a message saying that the availability of the item had changed.
Looks like somebody jumped the gun.
Maybe I missed this somewhere else, but the iTunes pre-order link is up:
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPreorder?id=302737737&s=143441
Looks like two bonus tracks, one only with pre-orders.
And did anyone notice that there's no "=" on the iTunes cover art?
I'm from Brazil and when I try to enter this link, a message appears saying that this is not available in the Brazilian store, only in the U.S. store. Interesting.
Yeah, it makes no sense to wait a month to release this on iTunes. Why do they want people to listen to the song with subpar audio for 4 weeks? And mid-Feb is so close to release (and especially if the Japanese version is released early or it leaks) that many people may not even bother buying it on iTunes after listening to a medium quality boot over and over for a month. There's a pretty decent chance the whole album could leak before the single is even legally released in decent quality.
The only one they would screw over is themselfs then really. Because it's logical that the Itunes single will leak and people will download it anyway. If they release it everywhere they will make more money.Seeing as that's only up on the American store
Maybe U2 are releasing it on itunes in the US and Canada on Monday and screwing over the rest of the world? The Killers did that
don't worry, if you really want the song without preordering from Itunes, you're not going to have any problem come Monday. trust me.
Ok. I'm gonna take you up on that.
So the single will go on sale on iTunes as soon as it gets its first radio play? All around the world? I hope it won't be just for the US iTunes.
I was thinking the same thing. For the moment its just looking like its US itunes.
