Most interestingly is that he has 11 different Deluxe Editions. From $7 for just a digital download to a $75,000 DE that includes:

The $50 version, which isn't limited to a certain number of copies, includes a 5 minute phone call from Josh himself, where you can ask him anything you want.

Pretty innovative stuff. Hopefully more artists will follow suit. Obviously it won't work for HUGE artists, but for semi-popular bands this is a great idea.

BTW, I should add that this isn't BS.
I just read about Jill Sobule doing something similar: you can get different packages where she records an answering machine message for you, or does a concert in your living room, or you can sing a duet on her album.

Overall, I'd say that the Josh Freese one gives you more bang for your buck.
