Systematic Chaos is being released on Tuesday. I went onto Amazon.ca to check out the release price and noticed that both the standard version and the Special Edition (with DVD) were the same price. I thought that was a little unusual.

There's a little used record store, that also sells new stuff, across the street from my office. I was in there today and started talking to the guy working there who turned out to be very knowledgable in metal and prog (he was at the PT show on Monday so we compared notes). We talked about the new upcoming DT disk and he told me that Roadrunner was initially releasing the SE version for a lower cost than the standard CD. So they will only be getting in the SE version.

For those who are planning on buying it, you may want to check out the price of the SE version before buying the CD only format.

(This little shop will also be selling it for $5 less than Amazon. I'm glad I didn't pre-order)
