no odeluxe in canada

i just went to a couple stores and can confirm that there is no deluxe edition of odelay in stores in canada. at least, not today.

at hmv i was able to find out that there are some supposedly coming in next tuesday feb. 5 (this is kind of up in the air, though – hmv’s release dates are often iffy with this kind of thing). however, at a price of $40, and keeping that delay in mind, it seems like these are probably just american copies that are being imported. that means most stores won’t get them, and most that do will only have a few copies.

so fuck you, canada!

UPDATE: thanks to magnolia, who points out in the comments that umusic.ca, universal’s canadian site, lists a feb. 5 release date for odelay deluxe. so i guess it’s not an import, it’s just coming out a week later here.

    What the hell? Several versions? What for?

    Argh. So it’s February not March and it’ll be imported, how fucking lovely <_<

    just to clarify, mint means several versions of the calendar/poster, not of the album

    I can confirm that this cd kicks @$$! Has some remastered tracks and Gold Chains is…. okay.. off the chain, or however you hip kids say it! I haven’t listened to the second cd yet. I feel it would be worth it to jump the border. Got mine for $20 with some postcards from Best Buy. Meijer’s didn’t have it over here at 12:00 am today.
