    Yup thats why everything i have ever sold on discogs has been at or below cost. Nice try bro.

    you seem defensive about that, but it's really only a good ~business decision.  I can't imagine they'll press lots of these (e.g., how big is the market for live albums?), so it'll likely be (a) ~rare and (b) able to be sold for a profit sometime down the road.  I wouldn't judge anyone who buys an extra copy with the intent to flip as anything other than ballsy (if this is more than $200, it's a pretty expensive gamble).

     

    in any case, sorry for ~accusing you of being entrepreneurial; enjoy your sealed records!

    I've received the physical component and digital EP.....it's the 12" I was referring to.

    Maybe I'm losing my mind - was there even a preorder for the 12"? 

    Stupid order history is wiped clean or I'd know these things!!!

     

    nope, this only popped up on nin.com yesterday.  I've been anxiously (and impatiently) waiting this whole time :)

  3. completely unrelated note, but since this thread has already been bumped, I just wanted to say that I'm digging Alessandro's new album, Avanti.  I've had a bit of trouble getting into some of his other albums, but I've liked Avanti from the start.

    In case you haven't seen this deal yet and don't already own the album, it's currently $8.96 on Amazon Prime.

    I finally bought this a month ago when it dropped to ~$15 (seemed like a great deal at the time), and then it just kept dropping.  In any case, I like this album way more than I thought I would

    If anyone is keen on it. SRC already has a listing to PO ADD Violence 12". With Sand(Shit)bag's track record so far...I think I will go w/ SRC. At least they know how to properly pack and ship records.

     

    https://www.srcvinyl.com/nine-inch-nails-add-violence-12-ep.html

    also a listing on amazon (but not yet available for pre-order)

  6. btw, if anyone else ordered TVW from the NIN store, my package arrived today (despite never receiving a shipping notice).  it was packed in a regular mailer and wrapped in bubblewrap (mailed from Texas, as I recall).

     

    if it wasn't for the fact that I was also able to get a copy from Best Buy for $14, I think I'd be ~fully satisfied with this Sandbag experience.

    Ha, yea its like my brain doesn't know how to shut down at night to sleep since its so use to glasses/contacts off, blurriness, and sleep.  Did your halos improve?  I'm day 3 and a bit blurry still, very dry, and night halos.  This morning I could barely open my eyes from them being so dry.  no pain though

    I don't really remember how things looked before lasik, so I don't remember if it's worse than when I had glasses.  But yes, the night halos are still there.

     

    On a lighter note, I remember how I had just started playing Guitar Hero when I had lasik -- I had to use eye drops between every song because I wouldn't really blink while playing and my eyes would get super dry.  Good times :)

    sorry to bump such an old thread, but I just got lasik two days ago and wow.  I went fro a -6.5/-5.5 with terrible astigmatism to almost 20/20 already.  still a bit blurry, dry eyes, and halos are bad, but it should get better.  best decision I've ever made.

    I remember the first time I was in the shower after lasik and was like "wait a minute, I can *see* in here!"  and then when I went to bed -- "I can see the clock!"

     

    what's funny is that even though I got lasik nearly 10 years ago, I still have to pause every now and then and remember that I'm not wearing glasses.

    This thread is greatly lacking full-on balls-out pics of the TVW packaging and BB LP mailer.

    I've never learned how to upload pics on this site, but:

    • BB mailer was the same one I've received for the last year or so.  oversized ~amazon-style folded-cardboard protection inside of a ~flimsy sticky cardboard mailer.  as with all of my past BB orders, everything looks great.
    • TVW packaging has the American soldier on the front and the Vietnamese person on the back.  The jacket is not a gatefold, but is wide enough for 3 records (each in thick looking inner sleeves)

    I haven't opened mine yet because I'm still waiting for my NIN.com order to ship(...), so I will probably wait to see which copy I open and which copy I leave sealed
