LeonardoMF93 Posted yesterday at 03:10 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:10 PM The official Linkin Park website has started selling The Emptiness Machine CD Single for USD 10,00. Previously, the CD was considered a highly collectible item since it could only be purchased at the band's shows and was available in very limited quantities (which gradually increased throughout the tour). Later, it became exclusively available on Amazon Germany. So far, this is the only CD single from From Zero. You can buy it here.

linkindan Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago I’ll always be among the first to call out Grey Daze for their cash grab, but they sold the What’s In The Eye CD single for US$2 Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/18080-linkinparkcom-starts-selling-the-emptiness-machine-cd-single/#findComment-338824 Share on other sites More sharing options...
solidss Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago This is incredible news! There’s no reason for anybody to pay $100 for a CD in this day and age. I’m happy the band decided to make it a widely general release so that anybody who wants one can get it where the band gets compensated for it and not scalpers.

They'd probably have done it for that very same reason. Furthermore, now the hype for The Emptiness Machine is gone, as we're already accustomed to it, the exclusivity loses its purpose.

Sukotto Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Best thing that could have been done for the fans. Shame that there wasn’t a message put out or preorders put up when eBay got ridiculous to say it would be available after the tour, but scarcity drives demand I suppose. Glad I was able to get one on Amazon.de, I’d written off owning one until then.

I’m happy the band decided to make it a widely general release so that anybody who wants one can get it where the band gets compensated for it and not scalpers. You’re right! It was very unfair to collectors from places where the band didn’t perform. These people basically relied on scalpers to get the CDs. 12 hours ago, bloodbath said: They'd probably have done it for that very same reason. Furthermore, now the hype for The Emptiness Machine is gone, as we're already accustomed to it, the exclusivity loses its purpose. Anyone who buys a CD single is a hardcore fan, so the hype around the song ends up being pretty irrelevant. This case was just an exception because it was sold at shows, so many people who bought it could be considered normal fans. 8 hours ago, linkindan said: *Hybrid Theory EP has entered the chat* This one makes sense being $100.00. 😅 I really hope the LPU ends up making a new batch of the HTEP to lower the price on eBay, but that probably won’t happen anymore. 6 hours ago, Sukotto said: Best thing that could have been done for the fans.

Glad I was able to get one on Amazon.de, I’d written off owning one until then. Maybe it was something decided recently. The CD was very limited at first, and the quantities increased over time. I went to the show at the Kia Forum, and the quantities were extremely limited, with each person allowed to buy only one. In Bogotá, I noticed there were more available, and you could buy as many as you wanted. In São Paulo, the quantities were huge, and they lasted until the end of the shows. I think they realized the demand was high, started producing more, and decided to sell it on the website.
