i think this is gonna be the special edition in europe and the US
standard edition is just a jewel case cd

gimme gimme

This CD comes out tomorrow doesn't it? Hmmm, the only place I'm going to be anywhere near tomorrow that sells CDs is probably gonna be Wal-Mart. What do ya think the odds are that Wal-Mart would stock this one??



.....

Yeah, that's what I figured. Never mind. Guess I'll have to wait till the weekend or sometime thereafter.

Maybe not on the release day but maybe in the future. If they had Iced Earth-Framing Armegeddon, Halford-Metal God Essentials Pt. 1, and Dream Theater-Systematic Chaos then I wouldn't discount anything. I for one will check and see if Best Buy has it.

Yea, I got IE's "Framing Armageddon" at Wal-Mart last Fall, that was a pleasant surprise to find something so "specialized" in their CD department.

Just for giggles I looked up the new Testament on Walmart.com and it sez it is NOT being sold in stores but I can order it from the web site.

Oh well. It would've been nice to come across that disc while I was in the store tomorrow.

just got mine today
smurfing awesome packaging
comes in a digibook kinda like Priest's angel of retribution special edition
the dvd is a making of the album (only last 13 mins and its not really that good), photo gallery and dvd mix of the album

still awesome to have some new testament after 9 years since the gathering

That package does look pretty cool even though the dvd isnt really worth much. I guess i'll be happy with my signed copy of the jewel case version

They didn't have it in at the Best Buy near my work either, however according to their website I should be able to pick it up at the store near home. I'm pretty sure it's just the standard release as well, no fancy digi-pack or dvd.

The album is good, of course. But it doesn't sit as well with me as I had thought. No instant classics, if you no what I mean. But all of the songs are solid in their own right.

Be Glad when I get my copy.I bought the regular jewel case edition.but I'll probably get the digipack as well.

Best Buy never has anything we like.

Sadly, this is usually all to true. Unfortunatley, it's really the only place left I go to (occasionally Target. Or Wal-Mart if I'm really desperate) for music when I want to get it right now. Usually, I'm pretty patient and will wait and order on-line, but I want this Testament NOW!

NO FYE near you?

FYE. Where every CD is $19.99. Great place.

Plenty, but they're WAAAAAYYYYYYY overpriced. I never buy anything there, with the exception of used stuff. Most of their cd's are $17.99 and up. Even if it's a new release on sale, it's usually $3 or $4 bucks higher than Best Buy. That may not seem like much to some, but I'm a cheap b*stard.

FYE bites. Even their "sale" prices suck. I'm surprised they're still in business.

Dunno if this is a common occurrence at other FYE stores, by the way, but I dont' even have the patience to look thru the used CDs at the one near me cuz they're all just lumped in a big bin in no order whatsoever. Who's got time to root thru hundreds and hundreds of CDs that aren't even alphabetized, for cryin' out loud??

Neener Neener

I ordered mine through their myspace page. It was actually cheaper than the stores and I got it early too. Not a bad little deal.

Thats wierd no one can find it at Best Buy. I havent been to the one near me yet but when I go there later i'll look to see if they have it. I used to buy a lot of cds from Best Buy especially on the day things come out but lately their selection has been really bad so now ive just been going to FYE. Its a little closer to my house anyway. My FYE is decent they have the metal in its own section but some things that should be in metal arent and vice versa but I deal with it haha. They have a pretty good used section too. Everythings in order and pretty easy to find. One thing that I noticed that they are doing and I hate is when they have a used box set they wrap it with packaging tape. So if your not careful enough when you take it off you'll rip the package. I bought a box set today so far so good getting the tape off I have to take the rest off later. The FYE in my mall used to be good but they downsized and now its total crap. I dont even bother really going there anymore.
