Anyone noticed yet?

LOL, that press release had me rolling:) so, did anyone order a copy? Methinks that dPulse are still lurking the forums.

Oh well I was actually considering that one. I was only the physical copy had fixed the mastering issues. But knowing dPulse I would've been greatly disappointed.

FFS, is it actually beyond Dpulse's capabilities to ever be straightforward with people? (yes i know....)

So, they announce vive le vileevils...as it was meant to be (er, except not, cos it got canned, but anyway moving on....) complete with the sort of disclaimer that actually had me thinking it might be legit, ie we can do this provided we clearly distance ourselves from PWEI. I actually thought maybe Adam stands to get something more from that than the PWEI album, fair enough if it's kosher.

Then upon apparently being told where to go with it, put an announcement up making it sound like their exciting news that Vileevils product is officially no longer available! Well wasn't that the idea over 18 months ago? Well done for catching up. The whole thing is cringeworthy.

I know there are people here who have recently had good experiences and are willing to let that speak for itself, but now those experiences look like the actions of someone who was happy to make any money they could from VE, could possibly handle having to post 1 box set at a time, and then believing things had quitened down and they'd gained a bit of goodwill again, pulled this shit.

Seems pretty true to form, if you ask me. I still have this feeling that they were lurking the forum, got pissed when they realized we were still badmouthing then, and fabricated the release just as a final "fuck you, fans!". I can't believe artists actually deal with these idiots...

Wading in here...

1) I did order this before the cut-off, so hopefully it arrives - I can report if it's any different at the time (I suspect not - but getting the physical packaging felt worth giving this a run)
2) I'm also in Canada - and though there were the delays we ALL had when they had the manufacturing cock-up - dPulse were actually VERY up-front with me the entire time. I don't defend any of their actions in general, but I can honestly say they were good to me (except I never got my free shirt LOL)

Just wanted to note this...as I don't think the recent "good behaviour" is an anomaly, I think the whole VE thing was just way more than they were actually prepared to deal with (volume, scrutiny, physical product etc) and they didn't handle it as well as they could.

Wonder if they ARE lurking here... might, but I can't imagine they don't have better things to do than wonder what fans on a forum are saying about them...

I can't believe anyone actually wanted to give them any of their money, given what happened last time.

I was amused by them charging more than a copy of NNDBAS would cost, which I think can generally be referred to as taking the piss

Would love to hear Crabbi's take on this, he's not one for mincing his words usually!
