Why do people continue to assume this?  Is it not possible that it will be released in the states a week before it hits Europe and Japan?  From a command and control perspective, it'd be much easier to release it in one market, and quickly to another.  Assuming they want to keep the release on the down-low.

no chance, if its released in the states  a week before it will be all over the net and damage sales elsewhere. not a chance this will happen. the release will be the same, worldwide

cant it be released everywhere on the same day, with just small allowances for time zones? i thought lots of big releases happened this way...?

EDIT damn u beat me to it ^^

Im only saying one days difference. Monday is when CDs usually come out in England, not sure about the rest of Europe. Its Tuesdays in the States for most albums, yes yes i know there are exceptions and CD may well be one of them, but because of the way the charts work over here CDs come out on Mondays, not Tuesdays like in the States, hence i would have it in my hands because its almost 4 PM here in England!

Its coming out tommorrow. 

Nah, don't think so. Maybe the single but how come no one knows anything about it - radio or the stores.

IMO the question is: Is this all a great marketing move (ad etc.) or is it just uncoordinated?



November 21st would be cool though.

[JuicySwoos]

I don't actually BELIEVE its coming out tommorrow.  I am just having fun with the ride.  I am going to go tom Best Buy every Tuesday for the rest of the year just for fun.  And maybe just maybe, CD will be there.  Woohoo.

[PrettyTiedUp763]

I doubt the release date will have anything to do with Supernova.

[Lord Kayoss]

I'm glad Merck actually said "it will be one of these 10 remaining Tuesdays."? Thats more info than we've ever gotten concerning a release date.? Still though, it didn't come from Axl so I question it.

Since the advent of "the Internet", releasing it (more than) a week later in Europe would just enoucrage those in Europe to download it from their American friends.

Lol I was in WH Smith in England this morning about 10:15am, and I was about to buy a paper and just before I went to the desk to pay, I thought about ChiDem and I put the paper down and went to like the CD and games section just to make sure. No CD

By that logic then, the states would be able to download it Sunday at 3pm PST or 6pm EST if they have a midnight sale in England.  So either way, you're going to have internet leaks.  Since sales of albums are always stronger in the US than in Europe, it would make sense to release it in the states first or (hopefully) release it a day earlier/later so that everyone gets it the same time.  Does anyone know if the Illusions were released a day earlier in Europe?  Not that it would have mattered because the internet wasn't really used then, let alone broad-band technology.

LIES! You should be banned!!!

Sales of albums in the US are stronger than through the entirety of Europe?  Is that really true?  Europe is quite big you know.  With a thriving metal/rock scene.

FWIW, I can't see that it will get a week's preview in the US before being released over here - like other people have said, it's too big a gamble, too large a market to lose.  There might be 24 hrs of leaks should it be the other way around but that won't have as much impact as almost a week's worth.
