1 - still waiting for .ts (or a .vob or .iso)
2 - my dvd just arrived today and everything that's happened kinda made me lose my excitement.
for some reason HMV started having this effed up database: one friend, after inputting a new delivery address, still got her package at her old address. then her debit card wouldn't work with HMV when mine did (we have the same type of debit card). one other friend started having problems with her bank and HMV. as with me, imagine my shock when i got the package and looked at the packing list: the billing address was wrong! and i've been using the same billing address for like, forever now (kidding aside, it's been 5 years). the billing address i saw printed there was my friend's delivery address from when she asked me to buy a dvd for her. no wonder my package arrived later than usual - there might have been some confusion with the billing address, idk why it happened b/c i've only ever had 1 billing address & 1 card number on that HMV account (i'm starting to get dizzy writing about this)
after what happened i'm seriously considering to go on a hiatus as far as buying Arashi stuff goes. i mean, i've managed to complete 10 years' worth of LE CDs and DVDs back in 2009 so i think it's not gonna be that difficult to put off buying @ release time and say, try to get the stuff i missed at the end of the year? idk, maybe.
