Re: Double dipping on CDs due to retailer-specific exclusive tracks?!

This week, Diana Krall is releasing a "Best of..." CD. At first, I didn't find any exclusives at the B&Ms.

However, I now see that amazon.com has an entire freakin' exclusive DVD with three more songs and five videos! This does not appear to be a "Deluxe" edition either as it is selling for just $14.97. They are calling it a "Limited Edition."

It's bad enough an artist releases a "Best of..." disc that includes three unreleased tracks to make you want to re-buy the other material you already own. But the situation is then compounded that I know I have to check around before just buying the darn thing to see if I am missing out on something.

As it is, I don't even feel safe knowing that as soon as I pull the trigger on the amazon (if I do) I will probably then find a different exclusive at another retailer.

There's Jessie the yodeling cowgirl. Bullseye, he's Woody's horse. Pete the old prospector. And, Woody, the man himself. Of course, it's time for Woody's RoundUp. He's the very best! He's the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west!

Mike:
Did you check out what's available at Target? Last week (IIRC) they had the Diana Krall Best of on the "Coming Soon" poster and I am positive it stated CD/DVD...because I thought of you the moment I read that! It didn't state anything about being an exclusive, though and I am not sure what tracks are available on it.

Re: Double dipping on CDs due to retailer-specific exclusive tracks?!

This is EXACTLY what I hate about this whole thing!

Eric: I have NOT been to Target this week...but just looked at target.com and they are only showing the CD with the three "previously unreleased" tracks.

So...do I have to go to Target to find out if they've got some exclusive that noone else has? PITA

Mike: My local Target had the CD version (15 tracks for $9.98) but were sold out of the CD/DVD version ($13.98).

Thanks, Eric! I'll have to take a look.
