I didn't know that there are region differences in the minimum print amounts. That would make a lot of sense as to why games are released in Europe and not in North America if the publisher doesn'tthink they can sell at least 3K copies. It would be interesting to find out what the minimum print run in Japan is. And, to each his own on the DLC in a box games. I personally don't count them for many reasons, but I can totally understand how someone with one in hand would be all for them counting. I made a conscious, personal choice not to buy any of them, rare or not.
