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, -H-
