Make sure the HMV price quote was in US dollars. For a while they had huge discounts with the dollar conversion. I know they change that about six months ago but it may be worth checking again.
Lenardd, thanks for the SACD sites. I'm more interested in the Sonys for the classical releases. The HMV's prices were $19 and up, Elusive's were $18, Super Audio had a limited selection and were expensive, and Acoustic Sound's were $18. I guess the medium's too new for deeper discounts--maybe the best bet is used on eBay. $18 for a new single-layered SACD isn't bad, but not with a $5 shipping charge.
That is not always the case. I think it's only the Sony's that go for that price.
A few sites to check are:
http://www.hmv.com (click on "Super Audio Discs" on the left menu) http://www.elusivedisc.com (the left menu also has a SACD section) http://www.superaudio-cd.com http://www.acousticsounds.com/acoustic/catalog/sacd.html
Check out www.amusicdirect.com they have the cheapest price I have found, I have not bought one in a while and do not recall if it is less then 18 but I know it is not more for the cheaper ones.
