Wanted to do the buy 2 get 1 free at Target but they didn't have Monster Hunter for the Wii U. So I ended up just getting it from Best Buy along with the new Justin Timberlake album.
I didn't know people still bought CDs.
Haha yeah it's becoming very rare. I only purchase CDs I really like and ones from my favorite artists.
Its awesome so far, only played about an hour or two of the story mode...did not play any multiplayer yet with my friends.
they probably know the iPad 5 is coming so they're getting rid of the 4th gen by lowering price
I like the album. Justin played on Jimmy Fallon's show all of last week so I got a preview and liked it. And 'History of Rap Pt. 4' was the bomb.
More than often than not, I buy CDs. I try to avoid digital purchases, usually only for something I can't find a physical copy of.
Why? Because I can rip the CD into whatever I want, the quality is the best, and I have backup.
The day I stop buying CDs is the day they start selling music as mostly lossless (I know about HDTracks, but their selection is limited, and often more expensive than a CD).
This is a great reason to buy CDs, especially if you are an audiophile or if you really love music.
Got a black iPad Mini for real. Will probably upgrade when the retina comes out. It's a really great device. My pic.
thats awesome. I got mine back in september for like $500 ish i think (64gb). but i didn't get the keyboard.
Batman: The Animated Series, Vol. 1
Godzilla vs Biollante BluRay DVD
I'm loving both immensely!! I am not totally impressed with the Godzilla BluRay quality. It just isn't quite up to par as it should be, but for $7.50, why complain?
I preordered GOW Judgement at Best Buy for the $20 Rewards Zone credit plus the DLC. I probably won't play it for 2 weeks or so. I'm playing Metal Gear Rising, GOW Ascension, and Dead Space 3. Don't know which game to finish first. Too many great games coming out. At least the next 2 games are free because of all the credit I have.
I feel the same way. I like album art, and I like the backup provided by having a physical copy. I don't have good enough ears to hear much of a difference between lossless and lossy audio but the backup is key to me. I try to buy at shows so more of the money goes to the artist. I listen to more underground stuff though.
yes.
the 3rd generation Apple TV is A1427. the tweaked Apple TV is A1469.

Personally I don't like to degrade my music quality even more than a CD already is.
Vinyl: so refreshing.
Nice! I enjoy my S1, but now wish that I went with the RS or R3 instead due to my riding position. I really would like to feel the differences.

I can share this opinion. For the last year, I've been purchasing CDs more than I have digital albums. Like you I only buy CDs that are usually only available digitally. Everything else is physically bought if possible. Best way to enjoy music. My future goal is to purchase an Oppo player when the time comes to invest in a loudspeaker system.
I love Vinyl, but it is indeed costly. I wish to eventually grow into Vinyl, but not until I get a decent loudspeaker setup.
Stocking up. Heard these taste better than Vita Coco.
Not too impressed after a hiatus, but I bought a 2-3 songs off iTunes.
