To those inquiring about how "the ends justify the means", YES!... having this album in my hands after all the trips, phonecalls, etc is totally worth it. It's hard for me to believe, but I actually think that after that guy handed me the only copy they had when I was at the end of my rope last night at Borders - I think I may have actually SKIPPED across the store to the register. I'm 30 years old. God only knows if the rest of the store, including any security watching me on CCTV, thought I was high or something.
I really do wonder now after all the reports from you guys what the heck happened?!?! I know it's only a score - and it's hard for me to type that ("only a score"??) but come on! God forbid you do this when the DVD is supposed to release - lol! Walmarts and Best Buys all over will be razed to the ground.
For those of you still looking - seriously, try Borders Books & Music if you have one. That was my saving grace after no-go's at Best Buy, Circuit City, Walmart, Target, FYE, and Barnes & Nobles. Heck, it seems as if even Amazon let us down!
