A quick look at the [deluxe or whatever] edition. The FYE "exclusive" edition seems to be identical to the Canadian edition which is available at HMV and perhaps other places (amazon in both countries as well).

The album comes with two bonus tracks: Four Seconds and Another Heartbreak (both acoustic from Jan 28, Cities 97 show). The bonus tracks appear on a 2nd CD (I guess it was cheaper to do it this way.... or else they decided they wanted the 14-track to stand-alone). The bonus CD is visually similar to the regular CD, but orange-label. The bonus CD is in the sleeve that the liners are normally in, and the liners are just sitting in the closed digipack (which has the regular tracklist on the back - no other changes). The regular digipack, along with the t-shirt are contained in a cardboard box with the art on the front, bonus track-inclusive tracklist on the back, and some clock-face themed art on the sides. The T-shirt is as shown by FYE, and seems to only come in Large (though the size it's not a massive large. It's a big medium, I'd say, in men's sizes. It is uniquely folded/pressed/melted into a delicious cube which I have termed, "Shirt of the Future!" (Tyler seemed to appreciate that designation). Hope that helps people. It was $20 vs. the regular album's $10 (tax in) at HMV downtown as a special today, but I think it's regularly 26 or 27 up here, and a few bucks less down at FYE.

Oh Allan.
How did I know you would do something like this?
LOL.

Well done, well done.

EDIT: *waits for snarky Allan-ism*

"Shirtcube of the Future"

That's pretty catchy!

Thanks for the info Allan.

I ordered that edition from Amazon Canada as well.
(Plus the regular CD from a Swiss retailer)

I ordered the Canadian version on US Amazon and just got a message that I won't get it until April 9th. :(

Thanks, Allan. Hopefully my local Best Buy will have something like this.

Thanks, Allan. Hopefully my local Best Buy will have something like this.

As mentioned, it's "claimed" to be FYE exclusive if the US; but I do invite you to take a look at other stores. I've heard "exclusive" way too many times to believe it anymore.
