Innovative idea... good value.. good song... another USB key wouldn't go amiss.

Might purchase this!

Cheers jsb.

muffler

Am I reading that right - its £3.99 ST.

Thats pretty amazing, 1500 copies from Oct 30 I noticed, I wonder will we even see any here, espically in Galway... At that price it's probably a limited deal, strange that it's not a 64mb or 128mb, but I suppose it wouldn't get as much attention.

Fantastic bargain though, wherever it'll be available!

alastair_doom

nice.. very very nice.
Just a publicity stunt tho, imho, after their last single didnt do great. they have to be loosing money on each one at that price.
They must be desperate

must check the hmv web site that day, and try to order a few hundred. Sell them for 12euro each on ebay

Ruu_Old

Great idea, nice find OP.

Any idea of the actualy availability of these here in good old ireland? Savage deal.

I just checked the Keane website http://www.keanemusic.com/ (not direct link to story) and it says there

"Only 1,500 will be produced for fans, and they will be available solely through HMV stores around the UK."

So taken at face value it means they won't be here and possibly not online, but that's not certain by any means!

Yeah.. reckoned it was in-store since it's not available to pre-order on the HMV website.

Pre-order it here!

Good call, just ordered myself one there aswell
Hopefully can delete the keane stuff and just have it as a usb key

Just ordered one along with The Producers box-set. Thanks jsb!
Used the 20% discount posted here earlier - just about takes the sting out of the delivery charge!

I got to order it and got confirmation a couple of days ago but low and behold this just arrived in my inbox:
