Does everyone think most Best Buys should have plenty of copies in stock?  What's the advantage of pre-ordering for pickup?

I guess each store will start with about 1,000. I don't think most will sell out, but some might. Any best buy employees care to offer some info?

They bought 3 fucking Million

Do we have a source on that other than Perez Hilton?

No news on the midnight releases yet...

Maybe we should send a bunch of emails expressing interest? They are required to read and review the e-mails within a 3 day period so we know they'll be read at least.

If we flood them with emails requesting a midnight release maybe they will buckle and give in to our demands

Or maybe wait until one week before release?

On the other hand I'm sure the record will be available here and there Friday 21 November.

I think if they see our interest it would be smart of us to shoot them some emails.

I mean, we have helped put a curve on these polls and request the song on several radio stations so why should we stop at that?

I agree, the more noise we can make early, the more it will pick up steam.

Radio requests, web polls, Best Buy, we need to keep this train rolling.

Living in ON Canada, I'm hoping some small shops will have a midnight release.  Can't see why not? it'd be legal to sell.

I just got an e-mail from Best Buy asking me if I wanted to purchase the vinyl album, I just ordered the CD.  Looks like they are doing their part.

And I asked about the pick-up date, 23rd or 25th and got this response...

I apologize for any confusion. I have sent the information to our website management team to get the correct information. Once I receive that, I will reply with the updated information.

When I get a reply I will post it.

It's kind of nice getting Chinese Democracy mail.  

[Silverchair]

ok just got an email from BB. Date changed to the 23rd

The post you refer to is this one.

The article linked is this one.

I believe that article is from 2003. That's when Universal Music announced it was cutting CD prices.
