Basically all US/western based retailers & BP shops have the 3 version standard albums priced at 43-53 USD compared to Asian retailers prices at 20-25 USD
It looks like a sabotage & blatant greediness on YG part(still very is)
But it's definitely not a self sabotage situation,imo YG & UMG very much care about the #1 debuts on global charts 👀
My theory is that digipaks will be announced & widely available/pushed for western blinks & obviously Asian blinks too on Monday after the initial 4 days pre-orders 👀
They will have similar price to THE ALBUM 4 versions sets in the US & markets outside of Asia (20-25 USD)
C-bars will also put in their orders then 👀
Cassette tapes will definitely be available too 👀
The #1 debuts will still hopefully happen on all major global album charts ✔️
