Where will everyone be buying their copy? Options

[live2cd]

I ask this because it seems the past few years when a favorite band of mine releases a new disc, it becomes more and more common not to see them in Best Buy, which used to be the CD Mecca among retailers. I did not pre-order it, because whenever I do that my shipment is always delayed unless I pay extra for shipping, and once you do that you are looking at a $18-$20 disc.

So, where does everyone plan on going, etc? Any recommendations? Maybe we can all post here where we got it and for how much.....

(those who didnt pre-order, anyway)

OK - Why the fuck would you do that? I seriously just do not get some of you.

I got a copy from Newbury Comics and I am waiting for it patiently.

Then we have at least one thing in common.

I swear our society must have ADD when we buy something, can't wait for it, and buy it again just to get it a few hours quicker. Older generations must laugh about stuff like this if they hear it.

We probably have more things in common than just that, as I agree with you one hundred percent on the ADD.

Technology has made ADD a common everyday trait for most folks!!!

Older generations didn't have the opportunity to communicate with fans from all around the country/world and feel 'out of the loop'. It didn't matter if the CD took a few days extra to arrive because everybody else they knew was in the same situation and they didn't feel like they were missing out.

I think it's pointless to pay for something twice, but it's none of my business if somebody wants to do that.

I'm sure the guys in the band don't mind it...

i hate iTunes just as much as the next guy, but someone told me the m4a's are no longer ridden with DRM. I cant testify to this, i stick with lame encoded mp3s.

One thing I can tell you is that Funky, at least I think it was Funky, was right about the shit quality of iTunes recordings. I bought the Amazon digital copy the day of release while waiting for my Newbury Comics order to arrive, which it did today. Closer sounds light years better on the Amazon download than it does on the iTunes download.
