It's solid and I don't feel ripped off for buying it for $80+, but I've since seen it available a few times for closer to $40. I think this is a different animal though.

Who knows, maybe that's all changed, but I'm not chancing it. Happy as hell that I unloaded my OG earlier this year. Did you get a fair price on your OG? I think that was the right call, too. I've read mixed things about the quality of the original press, and have had nothing but great luck with these Definitive reissues. I'd be more stoked on something that sounds better vs. owning a "first press" for brag rights or whatever. And yeah, I do kind of wonder whatever happened to those mumblings of Rough Trade canceling orders. Sort of forgot they implied other versions would be released. Weird. I thought they'd make us wait until the movie's anniversary (early October) to drop this but I'm pleasantly surprised that's not the case.

Yep, went for around the average market price. When the guy made the offer I told him about the (likely) upcoming repress and he claimed he was a hardcore OG collector and didn't care. I was pretty shocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've sold way too much shit off the rumor alone that a repress is in the works. Some people are committed. And yeah, NIN webstore orders ship so, so fast for me. From what I recall anyway. Travel time is also admirable but I suppose for $8.00+ shipping, it's the least you could ask for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrodan Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 $89.68ppd for both? really having a hard time rationalizing that price, especially after paying for the previous "definitive editions" of the fragile and fragile deviations that ended up significantly cheaper from everyone but the NIN store.

Yeah, I really do not think this is a limited run. And I believe copies will start showing up on Bull Moose, Amazon, etc. with substantial savings, pretty soon here. We're all just impatient and dumb with money... especially with shit that's been sought after for so long. That's really what it boils down to. You're probably smarter for waiting it out a bit. Really wish we'd finally get that Year Zero reissue. Maybe now they have some bandwidth freed up to focus on making that happen. highfives and jrodan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 lol *NOTE WE DESIGNED THIS REISSUE TO INCLUDE A BOOKLET CONTAINING ESSAYS FROM ID SOFTWARE’S JOHN CARMACK AND AMERICAN MCGEE.

webdoggy Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Been waiting forever for Quake, but can’t stomach the almost $50 for something that will get so little play. Going to nervously hold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my only itch to pay full price from the NIN store is that off chance they're including something cool that isn't advertised with the first number of orders. They've done it with a bunch of stuff at this point so it's always a risk not instantly buying from them. Otherwise, being burned on Deviations and the Fragile make me want to wait for this to be $20 on Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I'd rather have these now and not later (because those NIN reissues were kinda later, right?) so I'm willing to pay the premium. TonyPerkins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugareggs Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Oh man, I want that SNS but I’m going to go against my impulse and wait a little while. Found the other definitive editions at much lower prices after their releases, so hopefully, this will be the same case *fingers crossed* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntslash Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I ordered all of the latest reissues the day they went live back in 2017 I think it was. The only special thing I got with them was a 10% off apology coupon that I never used when it took 6 months to get my records. I think I'll just wait on these. webdoggy, jrodan and clerk3745 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
