Is there any advantage buying a pre-order in iTunes Store?

Thank you.

No, not really. You just don't have to keep checking to see if it's released.

The preorder comes with an exclusive track that is only available to customers who preorder the album.

I would pre-order it but I would be afraid that I wouldn't like it. I haven't been to happy with what they have done since Zooropa. I did buy the complete U2 on iTunes last year though. I'm not sure if I like the single that's available now.

I like a lot U2. After 'Zooropa'...humm...I think 'All That You Cant Is Leave Behind' was a great album!

I pre-ordered the new album. The new single available (Get On Your Boots) is so so.

How could I buy the Complete U2 discography on iTunes? Album by Album? Or there is another option?

Thank you.

They used to have the Complete U2 available for $149 and it included allot of things that iTunes just doesn't offer. They pulled it about six months ago or maybe more. Now you would just have to buy each album.

Last night, they played the new single on the radio and even the guys on the radio didn't seem to thrilled after hearing it.

The direction that they've gone in over the last 10 years is one where you either hate it or you love it. I don't like it myself.

But if you bought it back then, you'd have to pay like $150 for upgrade them all to iTunes Plus. 🙄

I wish they would allow me to upgrade. Just about all the U2 albums are now iTunes + but the Complete U2 probably will never show up as an upgrade because it's no longer offered.

I also bought the Complete Depeche Mode, Complete Led Zeppelin and the Complete Bob Dylan, none of these are showing up either. I want to upgrade them all.

I am trying to preorder now but I get error 2032. Just sent a mail to iTunes regarding this issue. Hopefully they can get it fixed.
