I have no doubt that it will sell out. I just thought it was funny. Maybe a lot more people gave up when it took 40+ minutes for the site to finally load.
I actually prefer the indie variant, and I only like every third or fourth Weezer record anymore (hello White Album!), but sometimes it's easier to just buy the album, forget about it, and wait for it to show up in the mail.
VMP will probably raise their prices to $100 first, then gradually incorporate superior materials and pressing tech. Or say they will to keep subscribers, but then never actually improve anything.
