Not really. Despite that, 95% the Japanese albums I have are JP press. But, I either purchased them second hand (with their obi's) or on sale for dirt cheap. I refuse to pay full price for a Japanese press CD. In my humble opinion, no music CD is worth more than $15 regardless of who the artist is.
Now in regard to "First Press", yes of course. Free bonuses are always a plus in my book.
