since when are there two or three versions of every single since crush?

Since the release of Keep The Faith the UK got 2 versions, both in a jewelcase and each one contains 3 tracks.

In Europe we got 2 versions since Keep The Faith, one in cardboard with only 2 tracks on it, and one jewelcase with most of the time the same tracks as the one on cardboard and 2 other tracks. With the exception of Dry County, which got 3 versions in Europe.

When These Days was released first Europe got 2 versions of This Ain't A Love Song, but after that Something For The Pain was released and there was a "limited edition digipack" which made 3 versions. For Lie To Me happened the same.

- cardboard (2 tracks)
- Jewelcase (4 tracks)
- A limited edition digipack (4 tracks)

Though in the UK they kept releasing 2 versions.

For Japan there was only one version with 6 tracks or so, and Australia had the same versions as Europe had.

Hey God and These Days were released and in Europe we got 2 versions, and the UK got 2 versions. For Real Life it's the same story.

Since Crush Europe gets 3 versions, the UK gets 2, Australia gets 2 and the US none. For Japan it's sometimes one, sometimes two.

since when are promo cds available what is the oldest promo cd that exits?

First of all, you can't buy Promo CD's. They are given away for the radio stations and so on. Promo CD's exist since bands decided to release their stuff on CD. So for Bon Jovi that would be during the Keep The Faith era. Though that won't be the oldest Promo CD. Sometimes the record company decides to release other promo's as well. There are CD promo's from Wanted Dead Or Alive, which are basically re-issues from older cd singles. Those are extremely hard to get. Most of the time there are more then just one Promo CD for a new single. They release different promo's everywhere.
