This is an English language website that sells Japanese media. It's a really cool website, especially if you love Japanese culture and animé.

The first option is ¥3,400 (¥=yen). This is roughly $31.54 according to the website. This option has the 20-page booklet. The DVD and CD are the same except the CD has "Got The Hots." The DVD is region 2 PAL, and the advertisement says, "digitally remastered."

The second option is ¥4,200. This is roughly $38.96 according to the website. This option has the 48-page booklet. The DVD is the same.

For those who have DVD-ROMs on their computers, get Windows Media Player for PCs and VLC for Macintoshes (Macs ROCK!). You will be guaranteed to play the region 2 dvd.

The MINIMUM shipping cost will be $5.00 for those living in the U.S.A. That is the price for me on the East Coast. For signing up on this website, they will give you 300 points (which is ¥300). It will save you about $2.80. You well get additional 160 when it ships.

I pre-ordered mine! Get yours! My ENTIRE order, shipping and the discount included, was $40.82. MJJshop is selling it for £39.99, which is roughly $78.20.

You must either be a millionaire, or you just like to spend LOTS of money on things you can get cheaper elsewhere ;)

May I suggest you guys to order T25 Japanese edition from HMV.co.jp?

Thriller: 25th Anniversary Deluxe Expanded ¥3,969 ($37,11 - £19,98 - €25,42)
Thriller: 25th Anniversary Expanded Edition ¥3,212 ($30,04 - £15,36 - €20,57)
(add shipping costs)

I've already ordered the deluxe expanded edition....$48,00 - £24,70 shipped :cool:

You know I tried that but they were going to charge me ¥1200 to ship it! That would have made my order about about $8 more than from cdjapan. They said my order qualified for free shipping (which indeed would have made my order cheaper) until I gave them my address.
 
Thanks so much for the links to actual shops! I was wondering how I would ever get it! :woohoo:

I think the prices are pretty much the same as on cdjapan.co.jp , I ordered the Expanded edition from there and it costs me (INCLUDING SHIPPING):
¥ 4,700 / EUR 29,78 / $ 43,00

They are sending it by Airmail.

I'll wait with ordering as it could be possible that Got The Hots will be available worldwide on one of the upcomming single releases as a b-side

I highly doubt that. Usually these kinds of 'bonus' tracks only show up on Japanese editions. I know that Janet has always had her Japanese albums contain 1 or 2 unreleased bonus tracks, and those were never found anywhere else than on the Japanese versions. And I believe it's the same with Michael.

Yeah, I ordered mine from cdjapan, they seem most reliable. I shouldn't be spending the money, lol. But a good song is priceless, and I'll pay for it. I know the song will be good, its Michael Jackson, lol.
 
a few negative things about getting the Japanese version..

- waiting for shipping
- cover and booklet in Japanese
- DVD not NTSC comparable

These reasons I'm not sure to order that version. I'm not sure one song that I know I'll get somehow. Buying a single or on iTunes.. Wit u think?

I wish I could get the Japanese version because of "Got the Hots" but I have to rely on my Grandma to order it for me, and she doesn't want to spend that much on her CR card, if I could get it on my own I would in a heartbeat. Those of you that can afford & have the ability to get it, should get it b/c it'll be rare & very awesome to have that song!
