As in, will the newspaper edition have an extra disc like IR? Cause I'll gladly buy the NE for the extra disc instead of waiting and buying a $35 import of extras.

The extra IR disc justified my purchase of the special edition thing. I mean, the vinyl I got with it will likely never be played. The large booklet was cool to look at, but it's not like I've peeped it in the past, say, year. If not longer.

Now let me stop being Debbie Downer (waaaaaaaah waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah) and say that I can't wait to hear the album!
