It seems that in last week's Famitsu Weekly (and this month's DS+Cube+Advance), there is an offer to mail order what are presumably new prints of the N64 Doubutsu no Mori/Animal Crossing CDs (well, they were Enterbrain releases and Famitsu IS published by Enterbrain...). It's 2000 yen per CD or 3000 for the set. I believe it's only one order per address, which makes getting one a huge pain in the ass. I feel sort of bad mentioning this at all seeing as most of you can't take advantage of it, but anyone who's living over here might want the heads up (Adam? Crystal? Who else is in Japan?). As for the rest of you, maybe Kahori at VGMworld can get some of these? Regardless, it should at the very least drive down the aftermarket value of CDs in general.
You can see the little front ad for the offer on the bottom right of this cover for the magazine:

Anyway, yeah, just thought I'd throw that out there, as I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else in English yet. Also, the offer appears only to be good through June 30th. I need to figure out exactly how you pay for them (I assume postal money order... curse my inexcusably small vocab!).
