Handwritten: misc. Deluxe Editions

Bonus content question: In the liner notes it says "Access even more content: Go to http://www.gaslightanthem.co.uk/handwritten with this CD in your computer to access exclusive content." I'm using Linux so this won't work for me - what am I missing out on? Is it anything I won't have seen before?

I have a PC but still can't get it to work. You have to visit a website, sign in with Facebook etc. and have the disc in your PC to verify your purchase (though there is an iTunes option as well). Then I get a security warning ("can't verify publisher"), and the internet tells me I have to change all my ActiveX settings to dnager levels, and it still doesn't work ("please wait - loading software" - well, I'm still waiting).

The super deluxe US version of handwritten is shipping this week. Or at least that's what I was told by Topspin.

How nice of them. The buzz for this has definitely worn off and I'm kind of regretting spending the $67. Hopefully I love it when it arrives.

anyone got there LP/T shirt bundle yet, got the poster last week ?

I am waiting on the limited signed deluxe as well. For me it doesn't make that much of a difference because I also ordered the standard CD and got that last Monday. Hopefully the delay means that it's really the band members signing the copies and not the summer interns . My guess is that they got the copies later than expected and then they were busy with the shows.

Yeah I'm still waiting for the Tshirt and the vinyl to show up but I got the poster last week.

I think I saw that Klown had received his, but the record was beaten up and damaged

Yeah, got mine on Saturday, InfiniteMerch still haven't got back to me about the damaged sleeves.

Got an email this morning...looks like it shipped yesterday from Indiana and is expected to arrive by end of day tomorrow. Woo hoo.

At this point I'm sort of indifferent towards it. I won't open it if there's someone on here who wants to buy it from me for $68.

I'm still interested and sent you a message about it. How much would postage to England be? Thanks

Sorry I missed it.

The tracking listed the package at 1.2 lbs so I used that weight and according to USPS it would cost $38 to ship it in an envelope to England.

Whoa that's loads! It's usually more like $15 for a CD to ship to U.K.

It also has the book which i guess accounts for most of the weight.

I'm actually surpised it weighs that little.

same. are the pages printed on tracing paper?

mine is out for delivery today (living in southwestern indiana finally pays off!)....

got my wifes delux cd/ t shirt bundle today (poster came last week) stung with a £12 customs bill ouch....this album is draining me.

Yep I got stung with that £12 customs bill as well the other day.

My El Jefe bundle finally arrived today!
Don't have to pay customs BUT there was no poster!! Since you guys received the poster even earlier than the shirt and vinyl I'm kinda worried...

Got my super deluxe CD today. Didn't open it yet... but will after I get cleaned up from work.

you're from germany, wright ?

me too , and i got the poster i think a week ago but since then i'm waiting for the cd+t-shirt -was it one packet ?

funny how the time we're waiting for this in the same country varies in length

so i hope this will arrive soon

So I opened the super deluxe CD. It's nice but not $70 nice. Glorified version of the insert/artwork in the regular CD. Each song has it's own page with the lyrics. And bigger pictures of the band and etc... The thing that bugs me the most...is the band just signed a sticker and they threw it in the book. While I'm glad I got the signed sticker. Wish they would have placed it in a slot to keep it in place/ or from falling out! In my opinion not worth it at all if you don't get the signed one.

I just got mine...opened it up and it looks pretty pitiful to be honest. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but when you pay just about $70, this isn't it. LOL

I haven't even taken it out of the shrink yet. I'm kind of on the fence if I want to hold onto this item.

Just my overall impression without even looking at it, this looks like something that should be about $30 signed or not. And now that the sticker isn't even in the book?

Does the sticker not have adhesive on the back? I assumed they were made to be placed (permanently) inside the front cover like regular bookplate stickers.

Any chance of photos of this? I couldn't justify the price but would love to see it.

Yeah the sticker has adhesive on the back...I just don't wanna take the chance and put the sticker on crooked! Then I'd be really pissed!
