   That's the US one.

   Absolutely a boot. There is no "Novercia" label.

   $30 AUS is a *very* reasonable price for the box set, and hardly makes 
the person behind the counter a "prick". Now, if it was just one of the
CDs from the set, or a boot of one of them, then yes it is a bit of a rip-off.
But not much more of a rip-off then every boot out there.

   Yeah...for $150 US.

   Yeah...next year (cough! cough!)

   Buy whatever Kate rarities you can right now.  The price of Kate 
stuff falls during the long period between albums, and rises preceeding
the release date.
