* Their CD single "I Want You Back" is in stores now ! The cover has each of the guys' heads in boxes...and the b side has "Giddy Up" on it.

* About their new video:   They did some re-editing.....nothing was taken out, though.  Originally they had the guys dancing in front of a silver background in one of the mock San Francisco streets in Universal, but now they added more clips of the guys, because the original cut didn't show enough of their personalities...so there are clips of the guys skiing and stuff.  And if any of you saw the original video for I Want You Back, they're using the same dance.

Each city has different phone numbers and different videos that they play. Dana  was looking up stuff for my city and found that they have 'N Sync's video for "I want you back." Odd thing is that they aren't on the Orlando and Tampa lists=( But they are on the lists for L.A. and New York. Here's 'N Sync's little link thing http://www.thebox.com/artist/ns1628/ Click on the song name and you see stills from the video. AND a comment box. Okay so I figure that #1, everyone that gets The Box should check their cities list and see if IWYB is on it, and then call in and request. And #2, enter comments for 'N Sync in that box.
