NIN's PR firm, [http://www.nastylittleman.com/index.html Nasty Little Man], announced that ''"barely a day after going on sale, the $300 Ultra-Deluxe Limited Edition of Nine Inch Nails’ Ghosts I-IV has completely sold out"'' and ''Ghosts I–IV'' was at #1 at the Amazon mp3 store. On March 12, it was reported by various sites that nin.com had amassed a first week total of 781,917
transactions (including free and paid downloads as well as orders for physical product), resulting in a take of $1,619,420 USD. [http://www.sohood.com/1/content/view/3817/41/] Reznor expressed his pleasant surprise over the response in a post on nin.com that read: ''"We are all amazed at the reaction for what we assumed would be a quiet curiosity in the NIN catalog. My faith in all of you has been restored - let's all go have coffee somewhere (my treat)!"''
