Trent B 337 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Haven't people reported that SAE really doesn't update their orders very well? Some have reported that it still said pending or what ever well after they've shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Looks like it's officialMost of us Canadians have noticed that Amazon.ca's order page has said the release date has been moved in Canada to November 25th but my order page has been still telling me Nov 18th ... that was at least it was saying that till I got the email saying they have in fact moved to the 25th not moments ago.I have no problem waiting for a date but if they would just pick one and stick with it this would be way less frustrating... Brian99_1 - Who just wants to hear the scores before the next ice age!Looks like it's official It's absolutely the first and LAST time I pre-order something from Amazon .caRight now the only thing preventing me from switching is that places like SAE are probably swapped with orders and might come up short too .At least yours isn't in with a chance of being cancelled because they put the wrong price up.I've cancelled my Amazon order and asked a friend who works at HMV to put a copy back for me.You mean that amazon.co.uk was very cheap and was an error and may get cancelled?

davros72 1 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 You mean that amazon.co.uk was very cheap and was an error and may get cancelled? OH MY! :spiny:Reminds me of about 10 years ago when CBS/Fox's online store mistakenly listed almost their entire Doctor Who VHS catalog down to about $2 or $3 each (instead of normal price around $20-$30). Some who placed their orders early (before news spread and everyone and their brother were ordering) got theirs shipped before CBS/Fox caught the mistakes. The majority of us (hi there) who had placed an order for a bunch of tapes at the cheap price found their orders flat out cancelled. Some fans started talking litigation, but I think one of the lawyer fans (a fan who was a lawyer, not someone who was a fan of lawyers, of course) among us at the time told them not to bother, they'd get nowhere, CBS/Fox would win hands down.Look back about 10 years on rec.arts.drwho if you feel like it.

MissPadmé 17 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 If you have the necessary audio software you can give "British Relief" a treble Boost and it will sound as clear as the rest of the cue :spiny: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 My order at SAE is still... pending. SAE may not send you an e-mail until the day your disc arrives... :spiny: But they do try and update your acct when they ship. As I mentioned earlier I pre-ordered mine back at the end of September and it shipped Monday. But judging by the pictures SAE posted at FSM I imagine they are swamped with getting orders out.

paleo 63 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Wow, there really is a noticeable difference in sound quality between the cds and the tracks I downloaded from Amazon. The downloaded files used to break/crack or whatever you want to call it when I listened to them with my headphones at high volume, but there's no such thing so far concerning the cd tracks. I'm satisfied. Rest of Last Crusade, I'm coming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paleo 63 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 So, I listened to the complete TOD score, and I admit I severely underestimated it; it's really one of Williams' best. Very, very enjoyable.I was surprised that this weird sound that you can here when the three Sankara stones are brought together is actually part of the score and not just a sound effect (I never had the original CD).Now its Raiders' turn I thought the packaging was just going to be a flimsly cardboard box...this is really much nicer than I expected!Mine was somewhat damaged during transport; I'm always that lucky.

indy4 155 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I see that. The combined version offers great contrast--a ferocious statement of a villanious theme, followed by a glorious statement of a heroic theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
