Does anyone else out there wonder why the Japanese release date for Arrival didn't change? I hope it doesn't hurt their sales in other parts of the world. Most people I know will probably put forth the extra cash to get the Japanese version (with extra track) in October. When the U.S. version becomes available in February (hopefully), they will have already had Arrival for 4 months. I know that I will not be purchasing the U.S. version (without extra track). If many others feel this same way, then where does that leave the band come February. I know that the masses will not run out to find the Japan version in October, but if enough do, then that could result in poor(er) sales when the disc is finally released in the U.S. and Europe. This combined with the Napster fiasco certainly does not help.

Oh well, here's to hoping they know what they're doing!
