: Wasn't that the same cd that was on sale a while back?! I remember the other one had the bottom corner cut off. Was there a bunch with the corner cut off or something?

Actually the cut corner signifies a copy that is pulled from regular sale. So if the CD is on sale in the store and it doesn't sell, they can sell it at a reduced rate and they cut the corner (or punch a hole in it, or somehow deface the UPC code). Then the ones they sell with the cut corner they don't have to pay as much back to the record company.

They also sometimes will cut the corner on copies they give to radio stations and for promotional giveaways.
