I'm trying to buy the Anthology Bundle but when I select a shirt color (either vanilla or black) it says 'Combination Sold Out'.

Trying to give you my money, please help me.

Same for me; just went to buy the bundle as well.

Store:
Excited for new items; however how's the hoodie? Looks tight and thin. Eagerly awaiting whats to come.

Site critique:
Splash page shouldn't have the menu on the bottom when the rest of the website's menu is on top. One or the other.

Some notes:

Would like a closeup of the logos on the new t-shirt
Fonts need to be sharper. they look badly rendered at the moment. eyes hurt.
Images need to be more compressed. Takes an age to load some pages. Images of 600k-1000k really unnecessary.
Lots of empty space means i have to scroll a lot. People have widescreens these days not portrait screens!
Man in the tshirt photo is wearing what looks like a digital watch. This cant be right.

Great improvements except for this! Speed optimizations would be cool. Stick it thru Firebug

The new T-shirt logo is the same as this one:

Pros
------
Yay, RSS feed!
Yay, new merch!
Lower prices for digital downloads

Cons
------
No Members Area?
Must click-through to read the entirety of today's diary entry
No BornDirty or Forums link.
I realize that this is probably a sales platform limitation, but I don't like the fact that a single release (e.g. Barking) is now spread over multiple places (CD, MP3s, WAVs, Vinyl, Specials)

Bugs
------

• Books of Jam 12-16 have broken download links
• "Newer posts" and "Older posts" are reversed (i.e. "Newer posts" link takes you to older posts http://www.underworldlivebeta.com/category/diary)
• Hoodies and socks are on the Featured category, but not Clothing?
• As mentioned, most of the album art on the Music page (i.e. the stuff hosted on sparkstudios.co.uk) is over 1 MB each. Too big!
• On Videos, the second-to-last video is duplicated
• "A Collection" bundle only includes MP3's? No CD? Seems like a mistake.
• I assume this was for the beta site, but it's on the production site too. If you leave this there, it'll mean underworldlive.com will fall off all the search engines soon!

Suggestions
--------------
Since you guys are using Topspin now, you should totally do this:

It may just be me, but I can't see a 'basket' link - to after adding a couple of items and then continuing to shop, the only way I could go back to my basket to complete checkout was to add something else and then remove it.

Not that keen on the homepage - I likes the diary on the homepage - now, after selecting the daily diary you still have another click to get the full diary entry. And its been mentioned that the navigation at the bottom of the homepage is inconsistent with the rest of the site.

Liking the overall 'feel' of the site though.

Print version of the book of jam(s) would be cool!
