And why is it that DVD's are less expensive than CD's? I can go to Target right now and buy the movie "Fever Pitch" for less than 5 bucks. But if I want the soundtrack (is there one?), then it'd probably cost $16.99. And it's not like Fever Pitch was a crap movie... the under-5 section at Target has a ton of pretty decent movies.
Oh! And don't forget the two and three for ones. Have you seen those? DVD's with two or three (semi-related) movies on one disc. For the price of one disc. What a concept! RIAA, what have you given us? Why don't you put multiple CD's on one disc? Why don't your prices go down as time passes?
Seriously, I'd be perfectly willing to pay for more CD's if I at all felt like I was getting my money's worth. But I haven't felt like that for... years.
Greedy fucking bastards. And what about this? Nevermind that they consider it illegal for you to rip CD's for sharing, how about the fact that they consider it illegal to rip CD's for your own use. Yes, they actually consider it stealing. Ripping a CD that you bought onto your computer so that you don't scratch your CD... that's stealing. Hell, they even consider making a back-up as stealing, too. What next? If I start humming a tune to myself, will I have to pay a quarter to someone?
But, I digress...
Anyway, I was trying to think of the last CD I bought... it's been years, and I honestly can't remember. It may have been the first Phunk Junkeez CD (my 3rd time buying it, after losing it twice). Either that, or The Tom Jones Millennium Collection, on sale at Tower. Now, Tower's been out of business for a while, so... yeah, it's been a while since I've bought a CD.
What about you? What's the last CD you bought?
