Just in case anyone's interested, I did some checking today, and the MSRP is actually $15.99, while the actual standard CD cost from distributors to retail outlets is $12.25.
Amazon, matching Best Buy's pricing, now currently has the CD on sale for $7.99 as well. Even though up until yesterday, they were charging $13.99 for it. Which is also the same price they were selling it for at the same time Trick was offering it early for $12.99.
Here's a sampling of what others are selling it for, AT A SALE PRICE, too...
Wal-Mart = $11.88
Target = $12.99
FYE = $12.99
CD Universe = $12.78
Newburry Comics = $13.88
...keep in mind, for online sites, that's not counting their shipping costs, either. So with the exception of Amazon and Best Buy, most everyone else's prices are reasonably the same - give or take a dollar or so.
