The Cancelling of Ultimate and the Leak of 3121

Coincidence? Or Calculated?

hmmm I can see the strategic value of leaking the new album, but I don't quite understand why the Ultimate collection was delayed/cancelled. I can't see the sales of that cannibalizing 3121 sales. shrug

I dont undertstand the ultimate.

Why no explaination for pulling it?

If it's becuase two albums in two weeks is bad PR who's idea was it in the first place and did P agree to it?

I called Best Buy and the sales guy on the phone said that they have it in stock, but they can't sell it till Tuesday.

Just curious...have you avoided downloading it on principle, or are you simply not interested enough to bother with it? hmmm

I know I couldn't (and didn't!) wait to listen to it. nod wink I still wonder if it was a genuine leak, or a PR move.
