MattyO 62 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 For anyone who is interested, the Australian soundtrack release date for Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is Saturday May 17.As I figured, the soundtrack is being released the weekend before the film premieres, which is generally what happens in Australia (i.e. I got my copy of Pirates of the Caribbean 3 the Saturday before the film came out). I am incredibly excited. Two weeks tomorrow!I just pre-ordered my copy from JB HiFi in Perth, WA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Excellent. It'll be hard trying to find a parking spot that day, the whole town will want this CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I'll wait until it's in stores here in America. There's something about walking into a store, searching through a number of CDs, and victoriously finding the one you're looking for. I'll get it on May 20th, but I don't think I'll listen until after I've seen the film (a day later).Because I know you were all dying to know about my purchasing plan.

Trent B 337 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Check Amazon, if there's one for Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyO 62 Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 How'd you preorder the CD? It's not listed on their website! I had to go in-store. They rarely have things listed on their website unless its already on the shelves or its a special offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo 0 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Good. Can't wait to buy the soundtrack album when it comes out in stores here. When they are going to put up the sample clips on the net? Are they just going to put it up around the time when they are going to release the album? Must be very close to hearing the samples clips soon. Probably be exclusive first listen on soundtack.net.

crumbs 14,305 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 How much is it, MattyO? There's a JB right next to my work I'll have to suss out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I reckon it'll probably be $21 to $26. I think that's how much ROTS was when it was first released at JB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh500 1,615 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Damn you! Three days before it's officially released in the US and the rest of the world?How come the movie opens on the same day everywhere, but the soundtrack's being released on different days?

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I think I got the War of the Worlds soundtrack before most people here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,676 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I'll get KotCS the day before people in the US I'm getting it delivered to work actually, so I won't have to wait until the end of the day to listen.Oh the joys of traditional CD release dates...

MattyO 62 Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 The girl at the desk who I ordered it off said it would probably be between $25 and $30, but she doesn't know for sure. I, too got Revenge of the Sith from JB for i thing $21.99, I think as a promotion with the free DVD (A Musical Journey). We might be lucky and get the same kind of deal for Indy IV (I know in the past that if the soundtrack is being released in store on schedule then it is usually at a promotional price, for instance last year they had The Simpsons Movie, PotC: AWE, Transformers and Harry Potter 5 at reduced prices the day they came out).The way I see it though is I don't mind paying $30 for new John Williams material, especially if its Indiana Jones, and especially especially if we're technically getting it early before the film's release. A reduced price is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh500 1,615 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Hmmmm, at this point KotCS has become for me the most anticipated JW score ever.Previously it has been PoA, then RotS. Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Looks like I'll be paying a visit to Demonoid.com on May 17 then.I will of course be purchasing the album shortly after, over here in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renard 0 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 The Sanity/HMV website now has it listed:http://www.sanity.com.au/product/product.asp?sku=2108931$29.99 is typical for them. JB HiFi will probably undercut them by at least $5. Borders may also have it for a lower price. I've got discount vouchers for both Sanity/HMV and Borders, so I'm hoping one or both of their initial prices is lower so I can get a good deal.

crumbs 14,305 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 There's a bunch of online stores at the same price, but they don't seem to be shipping till the 19th. The actual release date seems to be Friday the 16th, not the Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh500 1,615 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I wonder who among us will have the actual soundtrack CD first in his hands!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,305 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Well, I could take the gamble with online ordering and possibly get it within 5 days, or just go into stores on Friday and guarantee myself a copy. Either way, I'm not listening until I've seen the film a week later....well, okay, maybe one or two tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
