Finally got it today. Some stores have an embargo until Saturday, meaning that they can't sell it until then. The case has a ratings sticker, which means you can peel it off! The DVD does not have the surround or instrumental tracks. The book seems to be the same as US release. The CD and DVD have more of the "rappy" Al, but in a singular pink colour, similar to what Poodle Hat had, with the blue. The DVD is yellow, BTW. Price is around $24. It's great. BUY IT NOW!!!!! (If you can...)

Went to Sanity today to see if they'd sell it to me early..

He wouldn't... I said, "do you know when Weird Al Yankovic's new CD comes out?", he replied "tomorrow", instantly, so he obviously had some out the back to put on the shelves.. then just shook his head when I asked if I could buy one now.

Sanity wouldn't sell it early, but I bought it from an independent store for $25.

Well Sanity and HMV sales don't count to the ARIA charts anymore. So I'm going to get it from Big W or JB Hi-Fi probabily. But only after the Dual Disc is shipped to me. And yeah the 2 discs look pretty cool.

why don't Sanity and HMV sales count towards the ARIA charts anymore?

Managed to get my hands on it today. The woman at Sanity hadn't heard of it.. lucky for the other girl who was working there, pointed it out to her right behind her on the shelf.

I posted this in the 27 topic.. but I guess it relates here too.

I bought 2 additional copies today, and the guy who told me he couldn't sell it to me yesterday immediately knew what I wanted right after he spotted me. He said how Al raps on the album, and told me it was very good.

Am I missing something? It looks like 26.99 + 2.45 + 0.01 + 29.45, not 27.00.
or is it Virus Alert? "Look out... and give you discounts on your DVD's...." >:)
