I agree. DVDs are so cheap now. Even Blu-ray is cheaper than cds sometimes. i often go to Walmart for dvds cause they usually have a great collection of titles for like 4 to 7 bucks. around here you pay at least 11 bucks for a cd. and that is the cheapest. some places sell them for almost twice that.

have you seen prices of downloads through itunes? it is just as bad. a dollar a song is just ridiculous.

: It still boggles my mind that cds cost more than dvds. It's
: gotten to the point where I don't even want to spend $10 for
: most dvds (and I don't have to wait long for most titles to drop
: to that price). Meanwhile it's rare to find cds for less than
: $13 - most of them are still $20.
:
: But if you go looking in used places, many of them don't even
: carry cds anymore, and dvds are usually $5. Soon I'll have to
: check out another place that has $2 dvds. Gee and the studios
: wonder why everyone isn't buying new anymore, esp new release.
:
: Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to download a new title and
: wait until I can buy it for cheap (well if it's actually
: something I'd want to buy... ).

: you know, here is how i feel. i have already posted on these
: boards many times before, but i feel if you are given the option
: and the price for buying products is lower, you end up buying
: even after you download considering you truely think the product
: is of a high quality, etc. at least this is what i do with
: music. if i don't like what i hear or a movie i watch after dl,
: then i don't buy it. simple.
:
: plus, one thing that is great which many bands are doing now is
: that you can pay as much as you want for their product. IE, Dead
: Heart Bloom is a band from New York. they have all albums
: available on the site for free download, but you can buy them
: through paypal and you choose what you want to pay. I love that
: idea.
:
: imagine if we had the ability of doign that with movies? i for
: one think it would be awesome deal. you can buy a download for
: your own set price, the price you feel the quality of the
: material reflects.
:
: there will always be people downloading and not paying anything
: due to the fact buying things such as dvds, cds and even books
: is so expensive. the more downloading goes on the higher the
: prices for these things get. it should be the other way arround
: if they expect people to buy from a store.
:
: anyway, this is how i feel. we need better quality materials,
: better quality outpu by bands and studios, and lower prices. if
: we are given the choice of paying as much as we feel the
: material deserves more will buy instead of free downloads.
