um, i don't know why but i always had the feeling the limited edition would be released first. i actually don't mind that i have to pay $10 extra for a CD about MK's history, especially if there's a demo in there, or any news on MK7 ( that would be awesome). so anyway it probably depends on the store when the product will show up. i'll probably get it from walmart ( doesn't matter where i get it from since it;s pretty much the same price and not taking it back anyway). i hope that helped u out dude. the limited edition shows up either in the same time, or b4 the basic pack. that's how i know it went.
