Snakes & Arrows DVD album Limited Edition update

Tue, Apr 3, 2007@11:31PM | comments removed/disabled

UPDATE - 4/5@10:46AM: IT'S BACK! Erebus noticed that the LE DVD Album version of Snakes & Arrows is now back up at Amazon. This time it's correctly listed as a DVD Album due for release on May 22nd.

UPDATE - 4/4@2:18PM: Reader Sean from NJ was contacted by Best Buy and said that they confirmed that the release date is in fact May 22nd. However, it still says May 15th on their website.

I've received several emails from people who had pre-ordered the Snakes & Arrows DVD album from Amazon.com regarding an email notice they received. The email said the following:

Hello from Amazon.com.

We are sorry to report that the following item is no
longer available from our supplier. However, we have learned that a
substitute is available under a different Item number. You may link
directly to our catalog page for the substitute using the URL beneath
the unavailable item:

Ordered item: Rush (Artist) "Snakes & Arrows [Limited Edition]"
Substitute: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000NVIXFK

The unavailable item has been cancelled from your order. If you would
like to purchase the substitute item, please visit our web site to
place a new order.

The substitute they recommend is just the regular CD. It's still unclear what all this means. Perhaps they were allotted X number of the items from their supplier and mistakenly accepted pre-orders for more than their allotted amount? So they sent emails out to everyone who ordered after they ran out? Did anyone here who ordered the DVD not get this email? I'm just speculating of course; it's all a bit confusing.

On Friday the link to the DVD at Amazon went dead and we learned from Power Windows that the release had been pushed back to May 22nd. As of this moment several other online vendors seem to still be taking pre-orders for the DVD. You can get it at Best Buy although the price has jumped up to $22.99 (from $15.99 last week) and they still claim it comes out May 15th. MusicToday also has it listed for $21.99. I'll keep you all updated as I learn more about this confusing situation.
