Because she knows her fans will buy it, which is fine. Carrie did the same thing w/ her special Target edition thing but the thing is Carrie put both the Target special edition and original CR album out right around the same time and that was all she did. She didn't do any more redoing of her album after that (unless you want to count the musicpass thing but for me that was more of a download/online thing like itunes and she even did that not too long after CR and the Target thing came out). And by having it out around the same time, it gave you the option of either choosing to just buy the original CR album or just the Target Special Edition instead if you had not gotten the original CR album right out the gate like I did
. So imo it was more fitting and wasn't a long drawn out process where she had her original album out first for a long time then redid it w/ remixes and then redid it to add a song or two and videos over a I believe a two year period. Too drawn out for me. But if TS fans don't mind buying it like that more power to them.
