If anyone ordered from Ideal Copy, they told me it would ship on or around the 26th.

Mine is supposed to be in the mail from Vintage Vinyl. If and when it arrives, opening the package will feel like opening the Wonka Bar to find a golden ticket after reading this thread.
I'm kicking myself for not ordering from there, now. I wanted to save the $15 shipping.

I wish there were a record store around here that was getting a copy

Princeton Record Exchange!! I'll gladly take the extra copy and can come pick it up when I'm home for Christmas---I'm from Hamilton.

The Princton Record Exchange has it on their website that they are going to have it. I'm just going to go there. Vintage Vinyl is a little further away for me to go.

Oh, I didn't realize Vintage Vinyl was a brick-and-mortar store as well. Guess that explains how they had it available for pre-order!
Which I guess means that some stores knew how many they'd have, otherwise how could they accept pre-orders? This whole thing is kind of weird.
But maybe RSD events are always like this with all the releases.

U2.com listed the Compact Disc Store in Baton Rouge as participating, but alas, it seems not even U2 can save this store...

Yeah, they still list a shop in Gig Harbor, WA, that went under two years ago.

Seriously!Yeah, Vintage Vinyl claims to have shipped mine. I got a tracking number but the info hasn't updated in two days: "electronic shipping info received." Ideal Copy claims they are going to be able to fill their pre-orders. I stopped by my local shop today and the guy seemed pretty sure he would get some, claimed he had talked to the distributor today.
No way I'm paying $100 on eBay for this.
Have you checked again today? Mine has updated at the USPS site:
Your item was processed through and left our JERSEY CITY, NJ 07097 facility on November 22, 2010. The item is currently in transit to the destination.

Thanks, bonocomet, just checked and mine has been updated too. Still going out on Friday if I don't have the package in hand by Wednesday, though. Can't afford to take any chances.

I don't blame you! I half expect to open mine when it arrives and find a copy of WAIA.

Now delayed until December 17........can see where this is going. Now Rough Trade East reckon UK and Ireland stores will only receive "a tiny" amount of copies. Guess barely anyone this side of the pond will get this without shelling out on Ebay.

^ they probably will given that is vinyl, no-one will complain. I could understand complaints if it was released to itunes first!

Not to be a party pooper, but why do we care so much about hearing live versions of songs we've heard a million times before? Is it just because it's an official release?

Why did you say the word we?
I really want to hear a soundboard version of Mercy. Do you really have a problem with that?
Obviously you don't care, thats fine, but I do. You're not being a party pooper, you're just being ignorant and obtuse.

Just had an email from amazon UK saying order has been cancelled,because item is on available to u2 fan club members!
I just got the same from Amazon UK:
Fan Club? If only!
Oh well. I hadn't really had much hope in it until the date got closer without word of cancellation. Now also knowing that none of the record stores in my area will get it in stock, I looks like I'm out of the running.
Apparently the guy who reported to atu2.com that he already found two copies Article & pics HERE is a douchebag and is now selling one of his copies on eBay: U2 Wide Awake In Europe ...
What an ass. He could have left a copy for another fan to find, but chose to take advantage of fellow fans instead. Douchebag.

Come on, Mr. Smee... he was just asking
The reason most people are excited, I imagine, is that we will finally have a decent quality "Mercy" in our library (post-2004)
Now I'll be the first to admit that the song isn't one of my favorites, nor am I completely satisfied with all of the changes made to it... but I do enjoy the tune (imo, it's like a good "Miracle Drug" 
). That's it, really...
EDIT: Utoo: That's really obnoxious... Even if there were any record stores around here carrying WAIE, I seriously doubt I'd actually be able to get my hands on one. But I suppose the item is helping out stores in some fashion, and that, by the end of the day, at least U2 gave a helping hand to another good cause... even if a few of us missed out amidst the hustle 'n' bustle of greedy consumerism.

Wow what a jerk.
Interesting that Amazon now says it's only for U2.com fanclub members,... does that mean it'll be in the webshop?

The sentence contains "U2.com". You of all people should know that there must be something incorrect in that message!

Anyone besides me pre-order from Vintage Vinyl and NOT received a shipping confirmation?
Galeongirl
Galeonbroad
Very valid point. It's likely a fuck up anyway, since they said themselves that it'll be available to Irish/UK people specifically, rather than their own members.
When did you order?

October 26th. I got the processed and pending emails weeks ago. Just no shipped email.
