Yeah, I'm starting to get a little skeptical of this "Only 10000
copies printed" claim. Between two Tower outlets in the bay area (out
of many, and one of them in the extreme burbs) I've seen approximately
100 copies. I bought mine for $12 at the market store. I find it hard to
believe that these two stores have ~1% of all copies made on display
at any given time with who knows how many in the back room or already
sold. Not to mention all the other stores around here that have
them... If they have similar numbers of copies as these two Towers, the
Bay Area must have 40-50% of ALL copies of ISDN printed for US
release. Either there is more than 10k copies, or there was a
colossal marketing fuckup at Tower causing all their copies to pool in
a few stores.
Also funny is Tower Mail Order's complete cluelessness about the fact
that they are selling the CD at all. If you want a copy, keep
pestering them about how the SF area stores have hordes of the CD for
$12-$16. Should be fun :-)
Later,
