my ambivalent attitude

Saturday, March 24, 2007

I'm so disillusioned and disappointed with the practice of preordering albums in Singapore. It happened in the case of Jay Chou's and now Stefanie's. Taking a random walk around music stores, I discovered to my disgust that Ni Guang is selling at the same preorder price with the supposedly exclusive preorder gift. What, I wonder, is the point of preordering in the first place then except to make oneself more excited towards the date of release? The advertisement is so misleading and it's such a cheap tactic to include the postcards that were manufactured in surplus together with the already released album to clear stock. I feel so cheated for the second time.
