Mine finally arrived today. It's a lot smaller than I imagined. I have to say its a very unique item and I'm so glad I ordered it. I should have bought two. No signed postcard.
Here is few photos for those that haven't got one or haven't received it yet but are wanting a closer look:

I'm surprised that no one else in this thread seems to be angry or upset about not getting the playbutton. I definitely would have bought one, or two, had I known about it!! I think it's truly unfair that no newsletter or any information was sent about it. The members of the fanclub should have been the first priority to get them. Or the price should have been clearly higher! I only found out about this when I saw fans posting pics of the playbutton on Facebook. Truly upsetting! Especially the fact that some fans might get signed postcards and two playbuttons when I didn't get anything. (When I say nothing I mean my order of the Electric CD was late and didn't include any postcards at all! Only after I wrote to Digital Stores they sent me the postcards they had forgotten. )
How on earth could you avoid this sort of thing happening in the future? How can you be informed about such products in time?

You are right, the price should have been higher. I'll sell you mine for £200....

I agree with the comment that perhaps fanclub / mailing list members should perhaps have had notification of the Playbutton. I only knew about it because I saw the original post in this topic. So big thank you to Mr Madness.

I agree with you on both accounts. I missed out on getting a playbutton too. But I am ok with that. I never really wanted it in the first place. And secondly, there should always be advanced warning on stuff like this. The PSB would have a better chance of selling to all quickly. A few people who missed out, wanted one.

yeh but they still sold remarkbly quickly and makes it a better collectors item i think ! However i was lucky enough to get 2 so i cant complain
I think PSB should care a bit about who get stuff like this. How about offering it first to fan club members (one for each!), and then if there are left-overs, to others??
Finally got round to having a proper look at my Playbutton. Hooked it up to my laptop and it's got the Japanese tracklisting! i.e Axis Boys Noise Mix AND Boys Noise Dub as tracks 10 and 11 which is a nice bonus. Is this normal as I hadn't seen anyone mention it?

There's just been one screenshot of the contents, and that was the standard 9 tracks - you'd think all should be the same really, now that's odd! Is the bitrate 160kbps for you too?

I bought two. One straight from the OS, which came with signed postcards and once it arrived, I decided to buy another. Had to get that one from e-bay for £49.99. Which, at the time, I was pretty pissed off about. Think it's the e-bay one I've got left as the other one was a gift for someone.
Think I might resell it if its a one-off! It could go towards funding my vinyl factory order.
