Richard Penna 3,694 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 So if only one out of a handful of companies is actually allowed to use the mailbox, it sort of ceases to be a mailbox doesn't it? All my Amazon orders have delivery instructions asking them to use our parcel box if something doesn't fit through the letterbox - it works a treat.

Pieter Boelen 740 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 2 hours ago, Stefancos said: For The Netherlands, yes. Thanks for confirming, mate. At first, it did seem a bit excessive. I seem to recall previous CDs being in the 10-20 euro range. But I suppose that's the effect of streaming services leading to hard-copy CDs becoming more collectables and therefore more expensive. Since the streaming approach isn't going to disappear any time soon, I suppose higher prices are better than to not have CD releases anymore at all.

GingerHairedApe 0 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Hi long time lurker here. Just wondering if anyone knows or knows how to find out if the UK will get the digipak version of ROS on CD? I've got the first 2 like this and really want to complete the set but the only version my local HMV had in stock was the standard jewel case.

I can’t answer your question directly but can tell you Amazon US sells only the digipak version. I’ve been able to order things from amazon.co.uk and amazon.fr unavailable from amazon.com and it should be perfectly possible to do it vice versa. You might pay more in shipping and have to wait a few extra days, but your collection will be visually consistent and that’s what matters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpy 4,145 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Looks like it's a standard CD over here in Australia too. Both TFA and TLJ were released over here in two editions - standard and 'Deluxe' which is merely the digipak version in the US. This time, it's just the standard over here. If I can be fussed, I'll order the digipak from Amazon. Just happy to finally have it! crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t_omes 1 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Hi, It seems like in Europe I can only get the jewel case version of the soundtrack for The Rise of Skywalker. I am looking for the digipack release though, since I have those editions for TFA and TLJ scores as well. Could someone tell me if the soundtrack sold on Amazon US is always the digipak version?

Chewy 2,391 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I guess it is, from Discogs, the US release is a digipack: https://www.discogs.com/release/14554551 Searching the barcode from Discogs on Amazon.com leads to this product: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081W366ML/ I ordered this one from Amazon.com (haven't received it yet) and it cost about 18 EUR with shipping.
