Caveat Emptor

I think there may be some confusion regarding Amazon listings for I'm Going to Tell You a Secret.

The
title listed strictly as a DVD (and no attached CD) is scheduled for release June 6 and is markedly cheaper than the other. Sounds fishy. And yet it is regularly ranked much higher in the sales department than a second similarly titled disc.

The
second title has a release date of June 20, and the cost is higher, even though it is listed as just an audio CD.

Neither mentions a DVD/CD combo. To make matters worse, Amazon is offering both products together for $38, meaning either there is a listing error ... or, well, I don't know.


Could the two together be the DVD/CD combo we had been hearing about? Do the people that have been ordering the cheaper, more popular disc really think they're getting both the DVD and CD for $13? Maybe there will be two versions: one with just a DVD, and one with DVD and CD?

Someone's getting fired for this. Until then, make sure you know what you're ordering.
