Ah, I see. The mini disc actually says either VCD or CDV on it. It
does play in a conventional LD player though. Took me forever to figure
what to do with the darn thing. I tried a regular CD player and a
CD-ROM before I thought to try it on the LD player itself. Silly me.

I need to savor the one I have for now (and hopefully save up enough
money). Though it's strange about the extra stuff. From what I had
heard promos usually only come with the first print run of most series.
Heck, most series you can only get boxes with the first print run (which
is why I'm going to buy Utena vol 7 even though I don't have 4-6 yet
just so I can get the box before it's too late).
