Same thing happened with the last release where I bought the limited edition box set but iTunes still gets exclusive stuff. Laaaaaaame.

CD sales are backwards. itunes gets the bonus tracks yet physical CDs get standard. You would think it would be the other way around especially with how little compensation bands get from itunes. I like that we get lots of bonus tracks but how is it ever fair to people who spends loads to get physical copies with it or support the band way in advance before pre-orders on itunes are available.

They ought to just go ahead and be selling it

Interesting.....

This.

I will never pre-order something on iTunes, when it's an instant download anyways, so what's the point? The only time I pre-order is to get a physical copy or vinyl, which should be the versions to carry the bonus tracks, if any.

for iTunes to do a pre-order, a lot of the time there's a stipulation that they have exclusive content to sell

Wait, 2 bonus tracks? I ordered the "Deluxe Bundle" which apparently only includes 1 bonus track.

Bullshit

It's 2 bonus tracks, AND a making-of video. What the fuck shit?

Maybe those two will leak too... Still bumbed out about that, the album needed some hype.

I also feel like if the album didn't leak that there wouldn't be all these people trying to tell everyone else how they felt about it.

Damn I want a making of video in the box set I preordered. Please?

I tried contacting the EV website to ask if these will be included in the "bundle" but for some reason their email-contact thing isn't working..

They aren't. There is one bonus track with the Equal Vision pre-order bundle and 2 bonus tracks with the iTunes pre-order. Three different songs.
