    Is there an e-mail address to try and complain to? I have two issues:

    One - the box set I purchased from Barnes and Nobel has split seams on all of the inner sleeves that hold the actual CDs. It is clearly a from the factory issue as the outer box and outer sleeves are all mint. Since it took me a few weeks to open and go through the box set I found out that Barnes and Nobel only has a 14 day refund/return/exchange policy and I am in my 3rd week with the set, actually it was day 17 when I contacted them I believe and was told in no uncertain terms that there policy is there policy and its not their problem.

    So now I want to contact Apple? Universal? Who and where do I send an email for an exchange for my box set that does not have an issue?

    Two - I think we should all contact them and point out how lame it is to sneak out an HD set in just the perfect amount of time to make sure the die hards already bought box sets.

    Regarding the defective box, try sending an e-mail explaining the situation to [email protected]. Can't guarantee that will work, but that's the e-mail addy that I've used on a few Universal replacement issues in the past year.

    I wonder how many fans who purchased the box would have opted for the HD download instead had they the choice?

    I think George would like this new Pope very much.

    Maybe Dhani got the idea from you - and that was fast.
    Now quick - ask him about Early Takes Volume 2 so I have something to look forward to at Christmas.

    This announcement, at this time, sucketh, verily!

    On a related topic, how to people back up their HDTracks? Being a Cave Man Lawyer, I fear HDTracks.

    I will admit I would not have. The box is a work of art that I wanted above & beyond having the music. However, I would have paid a little more for the box if it included download codes. Which seems to be the trend with deluxe editions lately.

    Well UMG was NO HELP at all, but I called and spoke to a person at Barnes and Nobel and they are replacing my defective box set!!! Now...do I sell it and get the hi-rez...probably not since I already have the 2010 Hi Res ATMP and with the exception of LITMW the rest of the albums are not ones I will revisit often.

    "96 kHz / 24-bit PCM - G.H. Estate Limited Studio Masters" is being noted for the hi-res sites.

    Is this essentially saying that the hi-res is not "unlimited" (the same DR as the CDs)?

    Just guessing, but I think Limited in the UK is similar to LLC or INC in the US so probably not to do with the DR of the files.

    I wondered that as well after I posted my query. That makes sense. I'm still unsure if the hi-res files are unlimited or not.

    So basically you want it to say:
    "G.H. Estate Limited Unlimited Studio Masters"

    G.H. Estate Limited is in fact how it appears across the board, not a reference to the files.

    Correct. In this case the company name is G.H. Estate Limited (often abbreviated to Ltd). Its the equivalent of LLC.

    Ah, yes, that's why I posted it, good to have that cleared up.

    It's hard when you can only buy the complete box and not a specific album. $100 ($85 with their 15%-off coupon) is a lot for those who already have the physical box and are just curious how the hi-res sounds.

    I actually didn't get the box, but would be interested in getting this if it is unlimited. If it's not, I'll just buy the physical box sometime in the future.

    I can't believe you people that bought the box set didn't see this coming, still its worth having the set for the artwork/packaging of which you will never get in a download :) !!

    I'm sure many of us did see it coming but bought the box anyway

    They should have included Blu Rays with the HD content in the box.

    That's a major reason I dislike downloads.
