if you do decide to call ahead to confirm, you can just give them the DPCI (store item number) and have them double check. For the deluxe edition, it is 012-06-0704.
I've heard the commercial for the album play so many times when I walk back to electronics, it's one of the few bearable things that plays on the loop of commercials all day.
So I called my store and they said it doesn't come out until tomorrow. WTF
Edit: I called another store and they said the same thing "album's not out until tomorrow"
But I insisted that it comes out today and after he went to double check the release date, he agreed on selling it to me. I'm heading there now.
I wonder how many stores are refusing to sell it today. Ugh so stupid. I hope it doesn't ruin the sales.
I got my Deluxe, inadvertly sent two customer service reps on a wild goose chase through the back room but it paid off. One of the best albums of all time.
