Since Oct 31st worked well last time it seems like they would want to shoot for about the same date this time. Also, I remember many Daughtry fans saying how he got the best release date of the season 5 Idols because it was during Black Friday week, the biggest shopping week of the year.

I'm sure there are advantages to being released on Black Friday. You get cheap prices, lots of stock, and prime display space.
But her label can still sell a lot that week by lowering the price, buying some display space in Best Buy and Circuit City, offering some extras, etc., etc., etc. -- all the things that you and others have suggested and/or seen done for other artists.
Regardless, I'm looking forward to 09/09/08.
