When Nine Inch Nails announced their digital release of Ghosts last night, the response was so strong that the servers crashed and they were unable to deliver the downloads.

My own FLAC purchase was cut off by a download error and when I emailed tech support for help, they said they'd be working all day to fix things and would get my purchase to me by tomorrow morning. The NIN online store was shut down for a good chunk of today, replaced by a message saying they were trying to bolster the server's stability and would have the store operational again soon.

Well, it's up again, but I was surprised when I saw that the $300 limited-run ultra-deluxe edition is no longer one of the purchase options. I assume this means that they've sold all 2500 copies already, which is really surprising -- with all the attention being paid to this as a low-cost digital release, the most expensive of the physical packages sold out in a single day!
