I ordered it within 3 hours of its release and I still havn't got my shipping confirmation. I emailed Musictoday and they told me it was still on backorder. I'm not that pissed or anything, but I don't believe they kept their word when they said they would ship it in the order they were ordered. The Australian HMV site says it will be available in stores from late July, so I'd better get my copy soon!

I ordered mine the day it was available. I got a email saying that it had been shipped last week and my card was actually docked on 30th June. So I'm guessing that I'll get it around 15th July. hmm

sorry 2 butt in - i am not an australian (thank god...he heh! I am a new zealander so is that close enough?) but I haven't even got a reply from an email I sent over a week ago...I got my order number immediately when I ordered it - on the day it was 'released' and haven't heard from them since...what the 'f' is wrong with P and his business pals...can't they get it right...I'm not 2 concerned cause I already have a copy from the 'preview days'...and I can wait...but as a member...Y the hell should I have 2 wait longer than some Jo Smuck who walks off the street and can get it in a record store (owned and operated by the corporations Prince despises!)...so much 4 us 'doing the work...I can hold my end of the bargain...but I ain't gonna do ALL the work...PS the club is still way better than last years fiasco though smile

The latest post at NPGMC says that people outside the US and Europe will have to wait another within 2 weeks for it to be shipped!!! That's BS if you ask me. I ordered it 3 hours after it was released. At least we have the preview files!

Check the page again, what part of "Released: 21 Jul 2003" is hard to understand? razz

People walking in HMV on the 21 will get news before club members - well done npgmc ...

I'm a Club Member and the moderators gave us that info in response to the same type of posts that are popping up all over the various message boards anticipating that retail will receive N.E.W.S. before Club Members.

Ah good, I thought it came from an un-trustworthy source.

Hold on ...
