I was checking out walmart.com and they have a “Limited” 25th Anniversary CD/DVD priced for 14.88 and then below it had a “Exclusive” 25th Anniversary CD/DVD + Bonus DVD? for 16.88 Is this just like a Walmart Exclusive 2 pack or something??

I just checked my Wal-mart yesterday (and scanned a copy of the original Thriller album so it would play on their sample device lol) but they have taken away their search screens so I couldn't check on upcoming releases. How did you find out they are going to stock it?

I sure would like to know too because my strategy was to buy it in the store the first week it came out. Someone here said that you can usually get albums at a reduced price in the stores the first week, although you do risk them being sold out.

Walmart just recently put it up, they don't even have a photo for the "exclusive" version yet. I'd assume same cover but I'm curious about a "exclusive dvd" with the other dvd.


Oh. So it is on-line. I was looking in the store. They used to have a screen where you could check availability of cd's in the stores or of upcoming releases they would get.
 
The exclusive pack has the Number One's DVD included.It says so on the page,if you scroll down. :)
I had not noticed that. That is awesome. I don't have the number ones dvd and my vcr is broken so I can's play my history videos. Good deal! Is that an exclusive for Wal-mart? The Number Ones DVD isn't on Amazon's higher priced version is it?

They have all 4 listed now. The $15 one with the orig. Thriller cover, the $15 one with the new cover, the $24 one with the hard pack and many page booklet and the $17 one with the Number Ones dvd thrown in. That one does not have a picture next to the description and its strange because they say you save $5 on the $15 ones and say you save $3 on the $17 one like they are ignoring the fact that Number ones has been added.

I think people are scrambling to get stuff on line and don't have their ducks in a row yet. (the picture being removed from one of the title on Amazon as well) I wondered if Wal-mart would sell it. Wasn't there a big todo last year that Wal-mart was getting artists to sell exclusively to them. Obviously not the case here but perhaps the Thriller 25 packaged with Number Ones is going to be a Wal-mart exclusive.

oh, cool. I wonder if this Number ones will have something different on it?

You mean from the existing Number Ones dvd? I don't have that and I don't have anything with Dirty Dianna or Man in the Mirror on which is on Number Ones.
 
It's so confusing when they release all these different versions, not to mention the Japanese and Australian versions. I wish there was just one version that everyone could buy.

It works really well from a marketing standpoint and is really win-win because some people that would have a hard time affording the $47 for something (Japan version) can have something that costs less and is still special. Meanwhile Michael/Sony gets to sell at a higher profit to the people who can afford and want the delux version. Something for everyone.

That's true, but it's really confusing. :lol:

Yeah. I know. And if I order it on line especially with the way they keep changing things I wonder what I am going to end up with. That is partly why I am hesitating. And who knows what they might have tomorrow. :lol:
 
I just ordered a limited deluxe version. I'm hoping it's the one with the booklet but I'm getting a bit confused too because there are so many different versions.

So, is the limited editon the one which they will only sell in europe?
How many of these will they print if it's 'limited'?
What's the diference between those 2 limited editions and does the limited edition have the booklet??

I hope someone can help me out, I'm so confused,...
