The B'z 20th Anniversary Special Website has received an update today. Apparently, they changed their plan of releasing a truly "limited" edition of B'z The Best "ULTRA Pleasure" to releasing two normal editions that either feature just the 2 CDs or the 2 CD + DVD package. Prices are not affected by this change.

Those worried about getting the CD + DVD package can now be at ease. Again, the "ULTRA Pleasure" package containing the bonus DVD is no longer limited.
