There’s a Best Buy Exclusive of “13”

Get ready to bring the hate.  Found out tonight that there’s a Best Buy Exclusive version of 13.   As far as I can tell, it’s exactly the same as the 2CD Deluxe version, with it’s 11 studio tracks, but the Best Buy version has 12.  Here’s the track listing for that version:
