Can anyone provide some links for purchasing the Missal? If you can provide a broad range of price points for them, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Are you looking for a hand missal or an altar/chapel missal?
 
I preordered mine from Amazon.com for just under $48. It’s the Daily Roman Missal by Midwest Theological Forum and published by OSV.

You should have looked at your own screen name for a hint–LOL!

Check this one out. It looks like it’s available now (ordinary form.) It’s a little cheaper than the other ones.

If you’re looking for a Latin-English missal, that Mass, and cycle of readings isn’t changing, as far as I know. Any 1962 missal will continue to work.

Personally, I’m just going to buy the holy card inserts that Aquinas and More is selling, the ones with the new translation prayers, and stick those in my current three volume St. Joseph set. The readings themselves aren’t changing, just the prayers and responses. My shower floor is leaking, and I have to get it fixed. Five bucks for prayer cards to keep current is doable, a new set of missals isn’t right now. And let’s face it, “and with your spirit,” isn’t that difficult, and we will probably all have the other “new” responses and prayers memorized within a few months anyways, and wonder what the big deal was! The priests have the tougher job, since they actually have to pray all of the new prayers!
 
I will have to look at those links later as I’d like to get one to use after the new translations have been rolled out.

I have ordered a Baronius Press one for use at ExtraOrdinary Form Masses, and it should arrive soon.😃

The Roman Missal Third Edition, the ritual text containing prayers and instructions for the celebration of the Mass, is now being prepared for publication. In the United States, seven publishers (Catholic Book Publishing Corp., Liturgical Press, Liturgy Training Publications, Magnificat, Midwest Theological Forum, USCCB Communications, and World Library Publications) will publish ritual editions and are now advertising their plans and will soon accept pre-orders. The Roman Missal will be implemented in the United States of America on the First Sunday of Advent, November 27, 2011. The ritual editions should start arriving in parishes around October 1.

Once the Church herself is able to order the necessary books, it’ll be a very short time after that the for-personal-use missals will be ready to be ordered and shipped. I would strongly suggest ordering a personal-use missal, and not rely on the little paperback missals that are provided now in most parishes; not because they are ‘bad’, but because some parishes in some dioceses don’t provide them for parishioners. It would be much easier to follow along, with your own bookmarks, rather than try to flip through the new and unfamiliar editions in the pews. In my humble opinion, I think it will also make a statement to priests to see their congregations using their own personal missals, not only to prove unity and solidarity with Rome, but to also show that they won’t be able to compromise or ad-lib, knowing their parishioners are paying attention to how things are supposed to be.
 
There’s a real practical reason for a personal missal, IMO: The acoustics at my church are awful, depending on where you sit, and it’s a lot easier to follow along rather than trying to pick out the reader’s voice in the echo chamber if you sit in one of the side pews, where the ceiling is significantly lower. The priests seem to have compensated for this, but the poor lay readers don’t know how to do that. The effect is like being in a stadium where the singer’s voice bounces off a wall and you get a reverberation. A long passage can be unintelligible toward the end. Also, let’s not forget about hearing impaired Catholics.

That part, “and with your spirit,” is easy. The Nicene Creed has changed to “I” instead of “we,” which I do not like, since the Apostle’s Creed is already written in 1st person. There are substantial changes in all parts of the Mass.

There are many changes which some people will adapt to easily, and others we will stumble over for months if not years. “Lord, I am not worthy that you should come under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.” I’m glad we’re switching to that translation, but it isn’t going to come naturally for a while.

can everyone stop saying that they dont like the corrected translation? we are simply praying with the rest of the church, instead of simplifiying it for us americans.

it does no good to rant on how you “dont like” parts of the new translation. dont like “I belive”? thats what has been prayed for thousands of years. the real “change” was in the 70s when it was translated incorrectly.

In what way, exactly, is “I” more complicated than “we”?

If you think “I do not like” constitutes a rant, then you’ve got some bigger problems on your hands than a mere inability to find the shift or apostrophe keys.

And yet the Council Fathers in 325 and 381 approved the Creed worded in the plural, “We believe.” I guess they were a bunch of stupid American morons who needed it dumbed down for them, eh, Fat Head?

The Greek was (is?) plural. The Latin is singular. Anglophone Catholics didn’t state “I believe” or “we believe” until the 1960’s. The Anglicans used “I believe” in the 16th century.
