The american company that is manufacturing the new "limited edition box set" version of the the new U2 album hasn't manufactured enough.

They've made enough to fill all of the orders in the U.S. but not all of the orders in Canada.

Universal Music Canada will decide later today whether or not to delay the release one week until Nov. 30th 2004.

They have asked the U.S. based company to ship a percentage of the U.S. orders and a percentage of the Canadian orders so that everyone can have the product on the 23rd but as with most things the U.S. likes to take care of it own first and refused the proposal to give Canada any product until after ALL of the U.S. orders had been filled.

Universal Canada will receive some product but not enough to fill all of the orders placed, the question right now is if the receive enough to send 50% of everyone's orders they might ship for the Nov. 23rd release, and then ship the other half sometime later in the week.

As it stands now they are leaning towards moving the release date in Canada to Nov. 30th so they can fill all of the orders at once.

They should have a decision later today, I'll keep you updated.

Looks like you guys in the states are going to be enjoying your 48-page booklet before us Canadians.

-C'mon, I've been waiting to hear fast cars till i get the full album!!!!
 
they probably thought they could manufacture 10% of the american shipment, what they don't know is that the U2 fan base is a lot stronger here :)
 
HOLY SHIT. The only reason why I have not yet downloaded or listened to "Fast Cars" is so that I could have something new to listen to when I got the collectors edition sometime between Monday and Thursday.

If they decide to ship half of the orders in time for the proper release date, then send the rest later, I'll probably end up getting mine later. Newfoundland always gets shafted. :grumpy:

By the way, does this apply to orders from Amazon.ca?
 
No idea guys, check out macphisti.net for info, maybe the message boards.

I'm glad I still have half the album to hear for the first time or I woulda been pissed about not having fast cars....now i get to look foreward to going back in a week And picking up fast cars!!

I'd rather have it tues though..lol:huh:
 
I thought a couple of Canadians here already had copies ...?
 
This makes sense. I was only able to get the cd/dvd Friday. I was told that none of the collector's editions came in for the shop next Tuesday. Unless, barring some miracle, they decide to ship these Monday which I doubt. Sad news indeed. :(
