[GunnerOne 84]

So, assuming Best Buy does get the deal, what does that mean for me,who does not have a Best Buy in town?

After all these years am I SOL?

You could always order it for delivery from their website.

Actually it could be:

United States: Best Buy Exclusively

Rest of the world: local retailer.



That's the deal with AC/DC's Black Ice.

I assume the exclusive would be temporary, like that of Rockband2 for xbox, and probably for a much shorter period.
to help the retailer to get off to a good start of holiday shopping season.
And black friday is an America thing. wouldn't affect other parts of the world.
That's if the deal is real.

I'm sure it would only be temporary although I can't see being the sole reason for profits during the holidays...

Yeah I would assume so - but I would also assume that any exclusive might be a limited time deal.  Perhaps 2-4 weeks.

It could also be that Chi Dem gets a general release, but Best Buy gets Chi Dem + Bonus Tracks.  A Chi Dem special edition.

I say at least until after the second week in January.  The reason is obviously for christmas but the week after christmas is also a big return that crappy gift week.

Exclusive means EXCLUSIVE

Best Buy will be the only retail outlet to sell Chinese Democracy in the United States.

This isn't temporary, they will sell it forever.

Now, international, of course it will be a standard deal but in the US, if u don't have a Best Buy, u will have to order it online.

From what I understand, and I could be slightly wrong, but I think the retailer pays like a SET price. They agree to buy X amount of CD and whether they sell 5 million or 500,000, GNR/Universal get a flat fee.

so Best Buy may have to pay something like 20-25 million for CD

what this does is it gives Universal a HUGE profit with no downside

Of course Best Buy will have to sell 2.5 million copies to break even but what it does is, it gets people inside Best Buy that may normally not shop at Best buy. And while they are in Best Buy, they will impulse shop and take advantage of other awesome deals on various other items that Best Buy sell.

Its a win win all the way around and the people who win the biggest are the FANS!!!!!!!!!!!


What a great day to be a GNR fan!

Now lets get to the discussion, the real discussion at hand

what song is gonna be in the Body Of Lies movie?

Shackler's? or something we have never heard before? certainly it will be something else to double promote.
