I’ve talked about it before, but Amazon is doing some amazing wheeling and dealing as it attempts to make up some ground on iTunes with an MP3 Download store of it’s own. Friday, it was the Jay-Z opus Blueprint 3, which I picked up for $3.99 (SO worth it!), and today, it’s Nelly Furtado’s Mi Plan for a mere $2.99. The whole disc comes out in stores tomorrow, but Amazon has been getting some cool deals where they release CDs one day early. It is only a matter of time before the standard Tuesday release day is a distant memory, and music will come out when it’s ready to come out. Here’s a quick clip from VH1 talking about the impetus for this all-Spanish record.

Wow – bargain! I can’t wait for “Mi Plan”. I love Nelly!
I can’t believe they can get away with selling records for so cheap, but I suppose so few people actually buy the records that its worth it being a loss leader. I plan on looking in to the record sometime this week or next. How do you like it so far? I dig when Nelly goes latina…even though she’s Portugues…right?
I really like it. Rumor has it that she may even do a Portuguese CD at some point as well.
Amazon does have some sweet deals. I became a fan on Facebook so I get to see all the deals as they become available. Good stuff.
