YEah, I know a lot of people out there have downloaded it for free and refuse to buy it...fine. But if you are buying it, where. It seems like every store has some kind of free special when you buy it. The best deal appears to be at Best Buy, where you get 4 digital downloads (I'm hoping and assuming those are exclusive Janet tracks). Target gives you the ability to buy tickets early for her upcoming tour (eh...). Circuit City gives you a remix of "Call On Me". Not sure if there are any others. Also, does anyone think the special edition if worth it. If it had the video for "So Excited", maybe, but they only give you "Call On Me", which they still appear to be pusing (on the R&B stations at least).

Buy it anywhere where they are selling it for the lowest price.

$9.99 at all places for the regular edition (a dollar or two difference between each place for the deluxe edition).

that's good on my wallet

I haven't seen these promos in Canada.

VinnyM27 said:

I'm going with Best Buy for the 4 downloads and the deluxe is 17.99. The deluxe edition has:"In The Studio" making of.../Call On Me making of.. and video and 1 more thing, I can't remember what it was.

They have these big posters in the streets in Manhattan so you can't miss it here. I haven't heard the CD yet but I'm picking it up on Tuesday.

walmart

Yeah absolutely nothing here in Toronto. I doubt it will do very well here. It's going for 17.99 on amazon.ca for the regular cd. What a ripoff.

I've heard they're going to sell it in public toilets.

Why? What are they giving away with it there...for my money, it isn't worth it. Walmart= Evil!

Best Buy all the way but I really want that target exculsive

I asked the guy if they were Janet downloads and he wasn't sure. They better be and not some bullshit from some new artists!

VinnyM27 said:

cuz its not exspensive...

PleasurePrinciple said:

It's $9.99 everywhere (unless it's like a few cents cheaper there). What else is around you? Best Buy, Target, Circuit City, even Kmart! That's a lot of nationwide opitions. Plus, most of the others have special offers. Oh, I know that sometimes Wal-Mart as their own special editions but they often charge you a few dollars more for that extra DVD (which I'm sure, since Janet already has a DVD edition, Wal-Mart won't have one). I'm shocked that everyone thinks Walmart is still so fucking great.

I am mot sure what the downloads are some fans are saying that they're the two tracks she talked about called stuck inside the grove and clap your hands, that didn't make the album and some are saying they're call on me remixes .so I guess it depends where you get it from

I know Circuit City only offers on "Call On Me" remix. I'm really hoping they are new studio tracks. Most others have been offering new tracks through different outlets. India Arie's new one had different bonus tracks depending on where you bought the disc.

CinisterCee said:

Best Buy and Future Shop both are selling 20 Y.O for $9.99, I don't know what the Special Edition costs.. but Im sure it's like $17.99 so...

I don't do special editions of new albums. They're almost always gimmicky and not worth the extra dough.

All the store charts I saw today had it predicted at #20 or so. Better than Damita Jo which totally missed the Top 40 anyway.

It's so surprising to me that Janet is that popular in the UK, like Madonna. I'd be very shocked if the album didn't debut at number one, with the Oprah push. I guess MTV is ignoring her, though, so maybe they're support will be with Ludacris, who also usually debuts at number one.

TommyRoss said:

If it had both music videos, I would bite. I'm not just buying it for "Call On Me", which I've seen enough and does little for me.

VinnyM27 said:

The Circuit City ad here in NY lists a special edition with a dvd and an 80 page hard-bound booklet for $18.99

vashti1999 said:

I saw that too. Not sure if it's worth it. It's like double the price just for a book.

The Walmart bonus DVD sounds really unexciting
I'm just gonna get the basic $9.99 cd

i just got 2 copies at target for the presale code!

wow...to buy or not to buy?

I bought the specail edition for 12.99 here in Toronto. And guess what. I got so tempted because they had Damita Jo for 7.99 and I refrained from buying it when it was released. I thought, what the fuck and got it so now I have all Janet's albums.

Just do it. You're a bigger fan than I am, and I had to cave in. It's really not that bad.
