Spin CDs in the UK have it for £128.99, with free shipping, so cheaper than Amazon.

And please no one buy this from a supermarket! I don't care how cheap it is.

I'm going to wait this out and see what my options are on November 1st.  Not only for a better price, but that I won't have to rely on Amazon mailing it to me, and that someone might offer a bonus with the box (such as a shirt, a SMiLE collectable, or even an exclusive bonus disc like Best Buy does all the time). 

When the Beatles box sets came out I waited until the day of release too.  I basically forgo the stereo box (which had the DVD of all the individual CD documentaries on it) because Target was giving out $5 gift cards for every two CDs you bought, so I bought a bunch of CDs, then used those gift cards to buy the rest (because it was The Beatles there was no shortage of stock!).  I still got all the documentaries that were included on the box DVD on those discs, and it worked out that I got a few of the CDs for FREE.

Amazon UK currently has the 2CD set priced at £11.93 (~$19) which is considerably less than the current price on Amazon US ($32.46).  Go figure.

Hadn't noticed that the price difference between the 1CD and 2CD sets on Amazon UK is only 41p.  Wonder whether Amazon's noticed also?

That's more like it. My own retailer: € 183; but mail order bol.com in Holland: € 140. Which is idiotic. I'll see what JPC charges for shipping to Holland, though.

JPC charges additional 2,99 Euro for shipping to the Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg or Switzerland. So, still the cheapest in the moment AFAIK. Shipping in Germany is free. Cool

Still unavailable on Amazon France, but the other major French retailer (Fnac.com) now has the sets listed, although you can't preorder them...

Single CD - €18.75
2 CD set - €19.51
2 LP set - €31.86
Boxset... - €196.81.  Tongue (that's $277, and the record so far.)

I wonder if any of the chain stores will even stock the box set?

Description on Buy.com is a little vague but assume it has to be the 5 CD set. Good price, ordered there.

Barnes & Noble is going out of business very soon. It would be interesting to find out how they plan to handle the pre-order thing. I'll be going to one near me soon. Maybe I'll ask if they have a copy there for sale.  Grin

Price of the box on buy.com has gone up to $157 + shipping.

I seriously doubt that Barnes & Noble will be out of business by November 1.  The demise of one of their major competitors (Borders) should help them stay afloat at least through Christmas.
