CDJapan - Inclusion of poster as external bonus for You were ... / BALLAD
 

Thanks to njanjayrp's tip off , I went to CDJapan's website earlier on & yup all 3 editions of You were ... / BALLAD , CDJapan has added in the poster as an external bonus & the prices still remind the same unlike YesAsia

CD - http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-31801

I still don't know what will do, I'm going to Japan one week after this single will be released and I'm sure it will not reach my home until I get back from Japan, so I guess will buy it in Tokyo,,,, hopefully then still there are some First Press editions with posters :yes

goodness, i've never appreciated the price difference between YA and CDJ...

That's good! I need to replace the rule/sparkle posters on my wall :D

awesome!! :D
thanks for sharing!

omg thanks for the info Karen!
but I need to see the covers, first :(

Thanks for the info, Karen. Im so confused want to order or no because I/m so confused dunno the cover and the song yet

ahh~~ wanna buy at least one of those~!

i don't know anymore..
i just made preorders for CD only.. and 2 CD+DVD with BALLAD PV Making off one for my friends..
i hope the covers will be great~

..Why? :O

CDJ's kinda slow with updates latelly i guess, that's why there was no talk about the FP poster until now.

i don't remember any releases that had a poster with them that CDJ didn't give out so... nothing new :P

oh! i know a lot of people ordered at least two out of the three versions now :D maybe you guys might wanna sell a poster or two...? :laugh

GREAT!!!!!!!!!
& thanks 4 the info

Stilled ordered from play-asia, only $11.00 USD. Hopefully they give a poster too. If not, oh well....

I don't understand most of you who wait till covers comes up to make an order. Normal ppls buying CDs for music - not for pictures on the cover :tired

Just take anything what have the most interesting content. You should pre-ordery asap because 1st press won't stay forever. You can always cancel or change your order later if songs would disappoints you, but till that time 1st press will be reserved.

actually I am starting collecting all ayu releases. for me, I want buy Japan version if in case I like the song and cover. if in case I like only the song or cover I will buy OS ver. that's why i dont want to preorder.
maybe like you said is true. I have to reserve for it.
hehe
thankies

I wish HMV put that poster in the set too

^

Yes, they have, I just saw it now on their page... I'm so happy!! I pre-ordered all three versions so that means I'm gonna receive 3 posters?

hmm,i've emailed them asking if they are giving out the posters and they can't confirm with me.they said need to wait till it was released only know.so,you'll need to take the risk here.

I figured they would....they just like to tease us xD

Thanks for the update though! ^^

her 1st press stuff doesn't sell out in a lighting quick manner

you still can get 1st press copies of Rule / Sparkle from CDJapan from what I know :shrug

I understand. My advice is to order at CDJ. You can order all versions and choice "cash send via registered air mail" as payment option. You won't have to pay earlier and (1st press) CDs will be reserved for 6 weeks. When you'll know which version you want to buy, you'll make changes in your order: cancel unwanted CDs and change payment methode to PayPal or Credit Card (you can cancel whole order as well) :P

You can't have sure about it. R/S had poor 1st press bonus so it may be still available but for ex. NEXT LEVEL USB sold out in 2 hours. That's why is worth to pre-order asap.

Thanks for your advice ^^
actually I preordered 4 of them. 2 jacket A and 2 jacket B. those 2 was my friend's want

the USB thumbdrive for NEXT LEVEL's different because that was the 1st time her album was released in that manner so naturally the demand for it was super high despite the crazy price that was charged on it

but anyway the 1st press of her items don't sell as fast as a lightning rod . You still can get GREEN / Days 1st press from YesAsia even though it has been released almost a year since its release date

^^ YEY! GO CDJAPAN!!!
i prefer it to YesAsia, nothing personal, i just find it easyier to use ^^

Maybe you'd be cheaper if you used iTunes then? If it's just for the music anyway. I buy a CD because I want the full package: covers, booklet, etc.

Sometimes the covers are all pretty, but look at the difference between the Rule / Sparkle covers.. only the CD+DVD was nice (in my opinion ;) )

iTunes? Don't kidding. It's good for ppls listening music at their mp3 players or cellphones but it's not QUALITY MUSIC for normal listening. Even from network you can download lossless for free - not pay for ****** mp3's or something like that.

I just said that ppls should buy CDs for their music content not jacket cover. If they care about videos than it's logic they should buy CD+DVD not CD only etc. I'm always choosing the most full version at first, eventually later think to buy other versions to add them to collection.

Thanks, for the info. I guessed I'll find out when I get my order from them. The only reason I ordered from PA cause its cheap. Hopefully they send the poster too, if not, I won't be to upset.

GOOD temptation CDjapan!

^ Exactly! XD

The only thing why YA's price is ridiculously high is that they'll include 3 posters not just 1.

My shipping at YA is free because I ordered CD+DVD and the calendar. So no big deal for me, plus YA has never done me wrong. So I'm staying with my original order, but thanks for the heads up on CDJ. Kind of figured they would include the poster.

I'm waiting the covers, but I'm reaaaaally tempted lol

I wouldnt worry too much. I have always used YesAsia and they have always brought the same as CDJ, they just announce it a bit later. :P Then I love how YesAsia handle your posters. You can go hit ppl unconscious with those tubes. XD Plus YesAsia always delivers thing for less money in my case. ;)

Oooooh posters? Waaaa~ I want one ^.^ My wall is looking quite bare XD

Does anyone know if the posters included in all of the sets are similar or are they different? I remember with the Green/Days single, the posters I got from ordering both ended up being the same.

we wouldn't know yet because the poster image isn't leaked yet

I always buy CD+DVD too because I care about the PV. beside that I like the case is double disc so it looks much better than the single case looks cheap.
so I am satisfied by spending more money and get good package

different answer from PA when replying my message. they told me no poster included

:weep Gosh darn it...Thanks for the info

Oh that's really cool. Great! I'm excited!

I think you don't know what are you talking about...

Short example (with shipping to EU):

BUYING ONLY 1 CD+DVD VERSION:

CDJ:
$20.38 + Standard Shipping ($5.66) = $26.04
$20.38 + Air Mail Shipping ($8.47) = $28.87
$20.38 + Registered Air Mail ($13.13) = $33.51
$20.38 + Express ($20.38) = $40.76

YA:
$30.75 + Standard Shipping ($12.95) = $43.70
$30.75 + Express ($24.95) = $55.70

BUYING ALL 3 VERSIONS:

CDJ:
$52.08 + Standard Shipping ($11.32) = $63.40
$52.08 + Air Mail Shipping ($19.81) = $71.89
$52.08 + Registered Air Mail ($24.45) = $76.53
$52.08 + Express ($38.04) = $90.12

YA:
$82.49 + Standard Shipping (Free) = $82.49
$82.49 + Express ($38.88) = $121.37

It means that everyone who is buying using YesAsia 1) is a loser or 2) love to wasting money.

For the price of 1 CD+DVD with standard shipping at YA you can have it with express shipping from CDJ and you'll save $3. You can also take the same with standard shipping from CDJ and save almost $18, or choose (IMO the best) Registered Air Mail shipping (fast & safe) and save $10. If you're buing all 3 versions it's cheaper at CDJ too. No matter what you take it's always cheaper at CDJapan. You have sure that you got 1st press and all extras (like posters) + your package will be send even few days before release date and it's small possibility that it may lost.

As I said before I think it's always the best to buy some most complete edition (with extra DVD/CD/PB included), especially that price differences aren't that big (between CD-only and CD+DVD) :yes

baernesh,
is it the price you written is wrong or your calculation is wrong?
$52.08 + Standard Shipping ($11.32) = $26.04

how can 52.08+11.32 is 26.04

I think it's a little harsh to call ppl who buy from YesAsia losers... It all depends on what's cheapest for me, and this time I ordered from CDJ.

Didn't you noticed there was an error and price of single + shipping was rewritten from 3 single set?

There was:
Should be:
Yes, it is but that's true. Instead to buy in good japanese stores where they would have cheaper, faster and have sure that they got 1st press with all bonus gods, they prefer to give earn a chinese importer who overcharge. I know that "free shipping" is nice marketing term but that's all. They not giving nothing for "free" - price of the worse shipping methode is counted in items cost. That's just **** deal. Later ppls have many reasons to complain: that YA didn't gave them poster or they didn't got 1st press or they had to waiting so long on their package...

^Exactly. Thank you.
I order from YA every time, the reason is because I know my package will come to me unharmed and so what if I pay a little bit more? It's my money and I choose how to spend it. That makes me a loser? Seriously.

It is not always cheaper for me to buy from CDJapan. So you can speak for yourself. Every other time I've ordered from YA, I've received first press/external bonuses and received my package in a timely manner. However I'm excited to give CDJ a try this time.

So ppl buying from YA aren't losers. Ppl complaining about where other ppl buy their cds from is being a loser. Sorry.

this is rude.you made mistakes and i'm asking if its typo error or not and you replied in such a rude way >.<
people have their own choice.please don't call them loser.

Well I order from yesasia too and does that make me a loser? Nope I don't think so. I appreciate your efforts to show us that yesasia overcharge, but do your assumption stand in all circumstances?

Respect, my friend. Respect is the prerequisite condition in this forum. Respect the choices and opinions that is different from yours. If you cannot give us that, why should we?

^ I agreed

This is kinda sillly to argued about where they buy the cds from. I've ordered from YA too and it dosen't make me a loser.

I think she just tring to help us to compare YA and CDJ to choose which one is the best to buy but just her words are rude.
I would choose registered mail because its more safety and just $3 more expensive which is nothing for me
