They also have yet to change the price on the magazine edition, still at £18. Even if they do cancel these orders and reprice the box, it may still only be £35 or something, which would still be a great deal.

btw, im still waiting to order this via amazon.. price already dropped from 100$ to 60-ish. Does anyone have any experience with amazon, i mean, is the price likely to drop some more before the release, or is this the max. discount we'll get?
ps. i was gonna order some other stuff, like JT Remaster etc, so im curious, do they send it all when NLOTH gets released, or JT now - NLOTH later ?

That's well over double what it was listed at on Sunday. I wonder when they're going to start sending out the cancellation e-mails.

Why would they send out cancellation e-mails? when i orderd the price was about £44, so for me its actually come down,
but i dont get why amazon would actually cancell the order, as i said the boxset is actually back up on the site and ready for new orders, mines still listed in my orders.

They say they (might) cancel if the price is too low. Could you pease check your account and tell us if your price is now £41 or £18?

But people ordered it because of the price, that means most of us aren't gonna rush to reorder it

^ Yeah i'm not paying full price for it. I can't afford £41 at the moment so if they do cancel, i'm not reordering.
So far though in my amazon account it is still showing as £17.99. Will check my emails when i get home.

If they bump up the price of my order, I simply won't buy it. It's an absurd price for very little of any value, and I don't let bands rape me, anymore. Especially a band hungry enough to release five different formats of one record, you know? If I wind up having to pay a lot more, I'll just cancel. Times are a bit too tight to be paying 35 quid for 11 or 12 songs and some extra paper.

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't raise the price. If anything, they would just cancel the order.
Why didnt you just order the CD then? i mean if your not prepared to pay for the limited editon why order it?

my order still shows £17.99 plus postage. Delivery due by March 4 - 5th.I`ll keep checking though I doubt they will cancell peoples orders. By dropping the price they`ve guaranteed themselves a sizable order...........lets face it I cancelled my play.com order and how many other people cancelled orders with other suppliers.
In these economic times I think they`re actually quids in from this weekends bumper order

This happened with the new Kinks box set in December on the US Amazon and they canceled the preorders. It was a much bigger price difference though. They were Japanese SHM CDs, list price was close to $160. It was accidentally listed for $16.49.

Just wanted to point out that the Magazine edition is still cheaper than its counterpart in the U.S. Amazon UK still has it at £18 ($25 U.S.), whereas Amazon U.S. is charging $35. So if you don't want to reorder the box at the new price (assuming the orders get cancelled), it's a very good deal.

No, they just started canceling the orders last week.

Does anyone know whether they'll be doing that thing that most people seem to be doing nowadays whereby first they release the album then a few months to a year after they release a "deluxe edition" where they've recorded new additional tracks plus they change the packaging. Coldplay, Rihanna, Amy Winehouse, Duffy, Take That and Leona Lewis have all done this and I find this tactic rather naughty because if you a big fan of an artist/album you feel tempted to buy it twice. I think that they should release a normal and a deluxe addition at the same time and any new 'additional songs' should be left for the next album. With HTDAAB they had a special edition that was released at the same time as the official first release of the normal album.
If they are going to do this I'm going to have to wait for a year before I buy NLOTH.
Now I'm going to bed. No I'm not not, I'm going to the toilet. Now excuse me.

Just buy the damned album! You are willing to wait 7-8 months "just in case" they release a deluxe version? In that instance, download them legally or illegally.
I don't like the tactic, but I believe it is Universal "policy" for albums to be re-packaged for holiday season. However, I can't see this happening for U2 since they are already releasing 4 different versions of NLOTH.
Coldplay's deluxe version was just Prospekt's March added to Viva La Vida. PM was also available separately as an EP.

I am. The limited edition was advertised at £17.99. This is what I am prepared to pay. The stated price.
From whence comes the confusion...?

What's so complicated about buying a simple album? Hell, if you don't want to afford the box set, don't buy it. Buy the regular album. I don't understand all this complaining. A box set will always cost more than the album alone. Noone is forced to buy it. If the content isn't worth the money, don't order it. I believe the content is worth the money and I ordered it. I don't mind. I've spend much more on music in the past.

Except, I know, you know, everyone knows that the stated price was a store error. It wasn't "advertised" at that price, it was "listed" at that price and it was clearly a mistake.
Hopefully, everyone that ordered it at that price will get the steal (yes steal), but don't come off like somehow you are being cheated if you have to pay the correct price.
It's fine if the correct price doesn't make it worth it to you (that's your right) but please stop acting like you're somehow being persecuted if Amazon decides to cancel the order as per their terms and conditions.
