I didn't intend to, but it was a bit of a marginal/borderline purchase for me in the first place... and some people are splashing a lot of money around!

:shock:

£14 - which I thought was a bit much... Oh well, I'm glad I'm not a PSB collector.
£15.
Good price after all, they could release more copies or just advert the fans that it was out...

:shock: indeed!! Yes, I was amazed at how much that first one went for on Ebay. I pre-ordered in the nick of time! A few hours later they were sold out. Decisions, decisions!
Only joking though, I bought it to keep :)

Same here Andie... Got an e-mail last Friday that my playbutton was sent, but, unfortunately, almost one week later, I didin't received anything (I know this can take some days from orders I placed in the past). Nothing to worry about!

Today, I finally received my Playbutton, here in Belgium (took 10 days to deliver from Uk to Belgium!!). Eclosed there were some nice Electric postcards as well (not signed) ;-)

That Playbutton looks so sweet... I'm almost 'affraid' to use it :-)

Real collectors item!

I'm very happy for you :) Mine still hasn't arrived or my CD for that matter. But to Australia is usually closer to 2 weeks. I can't wait to see if I have any signed postcards :pray:

Be patient Andie (I know it's not that easy when you know there's some really nice stuff on your way!) but I'm sure you will receive your playbutton and cd within a couple of days (think it will be this week...).

Apparently, the box/button doesn't come with any credits at all, not even a x2 logo nor a tracklist - all that it says is "Electric Pet Shop Boys" and then "X20003BP1" (!) and "8416629" on the barcode sticker.
