	Well, you get it downloaded to your computer the second it becomes available, I guess that's a plus.

> Was just thinking about this this morning. What's the point of "pre-ordering" the new album -- or anything, for that matter -- on iTunes? Time was you pre-ordered something so you could get your hands on it first, or at the very least, have a physical copy reserved (i.e. set one aside with my name on it). That made sense. There'd be a finite supply of new copies, etc. etc.
