I also pre-ordered the CD and that hasn't arrived either, good job I also bought one from JB. I don't remember any previous orders taking this long. My Japanese import of Release only took a week. Perhaps we'll get signed postcards for being patient :lol:

Still waiting, but feeling safe in the company I keep. Thanks for the updates everyone.

This is probably the longest I've had to wait for anything from the UK. A recent order from the US was really quick, but for some reason stuff from the UK is just taking much longer than usual.

Mine arrived yesterday much to my great relief! No signed postcards though. Still, happy it is finally here!

Tried the playbutton and the player isn't the best so it sounds terrible. And it's cause of the soft/hardware cause the files played on the computer sounds fine. But what can you expect at that price.

That may explain the low bitrate then - 192 or 256kbps would probably sound even worse. Maybe you should try and put 128kbps files on, that may sound better... :lol:
