Did you get the Dial of Destiny soundtrack on the CD format before it sold out?

[Jurassic Shark 12,084]

No need to worry guys, I've reduced the price of my copy to €3500 on Discogs.

I said efore it will be back 2 more times. So we have 1 more to go.....

[Thor 7,519]

Someone should put up a service where there's a green flag when the CD is available, and a red when it's not. I wonder how many times this will get up and down.

Depends on the actual change frequency and the sample frequency of the service. Ultra-audiophiles will tell you that more expensive cables will increase the CD's availability.

October 18th better come sooner rather than later

Cute.

[crocodile 8,018]

Well, my bundle order has been delayed once again. Vinyl is now coming out next week. This is hilarious. 😂

 

I bet when I receive my order the CD will be missing. 😂

I haven't got any updates since I got my order confirmation when i ordered it several weeks ago.

 

I guess I'll just trust The Force that it will arrive one day

[Jurassic Shark 12,084]

Dumped the price to €499 on Discogs and just sold it.

[rpvee 806]

So there’s another batch people are waiting to have delivered?

[GerateWohl 4,371]

I ordered in August and my order is still marked as "in Progress".

Delivering a CD isn't like dusting crops, boy. Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova and that'd end your trip real quick, wouldn't it?

[Dave 217]

I believe that DME's ability to get numbers wrong big time led to letting more orders in than they pressed for august 24/25 and now they silently repressing a few copies. In the best case this leads to them miscalculating again and pressing more copies than needed, meaning we would get another order window in a few weeks.

[crocodile 8,018]

Oh and my order shipment has been delayed yet again. Now it's 18th of October. 😆

 

Karol

[scallenger 483]

Hasn't it been the 18th of October all along for people that ordered back in August, like myself? It's the only date I've ever seen.

[Smeltington 1,441]

Soon we'll have the iso score and this CD will be obsolete!

I ordered it along with vinyl back in June. It's the vinyl that's holding it back. It was supposed to be released in early August. The CD I ordered was from the first batch.

Mine still shows in progress. 

[Foxfan 128]

Same.. in progress. Plus I find out the Blu-ray won't be out until December and I refuse to shell out for just a digital copy.

[GerateWohl 4,371]

I am reeeally curious what will happen on that 18th of October.

Possibly a message that the item is out of stock.

[GerateWohl 4,371]

Or they just change the year from 2023 to 2024.

[King Mark 3,631]

I didn't register so I'm not sure if I can check my order progress, but no new since I ordered in August.

 

But right now all I care about is an audio rip of the Blu Ray iso score

[Bespin 8,484]

It's funny how bad movies (The Last Jedi, and now Indy 6) rely on an isolated score audio track to boost their sales on DVD/Bluray.

 

I can't complain... but that's lame.

 

The movie industry is SICK.

Disney should have sent you a link to check on your order status. All you need is your email address to log in.

You understood me. An isolated track is a 'bonus' intended to appeal to a different audience. Why don't we have one for each movie?

Wouldn't the inclusion this time be more down to Mangold loving the score and requesting it? It doesn't seem to me a feature that the average purchaser is going to properly understand or appreciate to the level of affecting sales.

 

Of course it's now guaranteed that most of JWFan will buy it when some otherwise wouldn't have, but that's just our niche tiny corner.

That's what they wanted us to think.

 

The reality is, since they can't really add plenty of "making-of" or "vignettes" of the movie on the disc, boasting its merits and its big success and how fantastic was the director bla bla bla (remember the movie is both a commercial and artistic disapointment), they have plenty of room on the disc to emphasize other aspects of the movie that are not so bad, like... the score.

Does not make sense.

[Bespin 8,484]

From Disney's perspective, the movie is indeed a commercial failure.

 

"It should have done more!" - Mickey Mouse

 

Given their predicament, they might consider asking John Williams to come to the rescue. Maybe he could give interviews and make appearances on podcasts to discuss his score... Oh wait...

[luke905 18]

The CD was back online.
I miraculously managed to put the CD in the shopping cart only to see it stuck in a limbo where I could no longer continue with the purchase.

Financially? perhaps. I'm not seeing a whole load of negative critical vibes though - seems generally 'warm'.

 

The idea that they couldn't fill a disc with featurettes, and are resorting to an isolated score in order to sell BDs... nah, that's idolizing Williams to such an extent that you want to believe that he 'saved' the home video release.

 

I'm in the batch that in theory ships tomorrow. Haven't really listened to it at all lately.

This is ridiculous. A mega corporation like Disney can't make a soundtrack CD of a major motion picture produced by Steven Spielberg, George Lucas AND Kathleen Kennedy, President of Disney subsidiary Lucasfilm, composed by John Williams,the greatest film composer of all time, available everywhere forever?

Loch Ness is dried out.

The Yeti is dead.

Ufos don't exist anymore.

But we still got the Dial of Destiny Soundtrack CD showing up from time to time in front of unsuspecting people to make them believe again that life is a miracle.

Now it doesn't show an estimated shipping date anymore. Before it was 10/18/2023 🧐 Lets see. Hopefully it will arrive before christmas.

I always found it suspicious, that in my order overview they offer me that gigantic "Cancel" button, like saying "Hello-ho! Maybe you would like to cancel your order? Don't you want to cancel your order? See, the button is so big, maybe you click it just by accident while scrolling though this page. It's a long page. Wouldn't you like to scroll a bit more? Don't hold back! Scroll, scroll, scroll, click, click click..."-

I am pretty sure members of this forum would easily be able to arrange a better CD release.
