How much do CDs cost?

Bought the Ltd edition Arch Enemy - Anthems of Rebellion from the Century Media table at Progpower in Atlanta for $12 (aprox 7.5 English pounds).

The same CD in HMV stores in the UK was about £16-17.

Saw the same thing in Sweden at the weekend for 238 Skr - which is about £20.

That's quite some difference!

If possible, I buy direct from the band - that way they are pocketing the profits - or at least a bigger share of the profits from the disk.
