Looks like Best Buy is getting a Japanese Version of Heroes & Thieves with the bonus track as well.

but $40???


Everyone seems to be questioning the high cost of the Japanese version of the CD, Japanese CDs are considered luxury items. Products in Japan are not subject to standard pricing policies. For example, here in the US, video games do not exceed either 50 dollars for past generation titles, and costs do not exceed 60 dollars for next generation games.

However, in Japan, items are priced according the production costs it took to make whatever it is you're buying, many video games in Japan cost well over 80 dollars. Same thing happens with CDs, even though CDs themselves are cheap to print, they're not cheap to produce, so the high prices are used to offset the costs.

It's just the way it is in Japan.

Best buy is also incorporating the fee they paid in order to import the CD, so thirty of that is most likely for the CD itself, and the other 10 dollars included is for what they paid to import the disc.
And it's bad news, baby it's bad news
It's just bad news, bad news, bad news
'Cause you're just damage control
For a walking corpse like me - like you,
'Cause we'll all be portions for foxes
Yeah, we'll all be portions for foxes.

When Be Not Nobody came out it was $7.99, I think Harmonium was too.

I might buy the Japanese version too.

I can't imagine a CD being 7.99. But that WAS 3-5 years ago.

HaT was advertised as 9.99 in Best Buy, Circuit City, and Target today. :D
