I just got onto both tower and amazon and am not too thrilled with the pricing. 10.99 or there about was the norm not too long ago, throw in shipping and we were talking about 12 bucks per cd... and a great selection. Now however, 13.99 seem to be the going rate for most stuff. Throw in shipping and "screw that" rolls across my lips. There are a few "club" deals and used stuff deals, but with shipping, I'm not too sure this is the way to go. Any word on Napster? I heard 10 bucks a cd, and that sounds a lot high, but better than retail. I would say that over 75% of my recent purchases have been used cd's. Which can't be ethically much better than Kazaa, but Bureaucrats haven't spoken against it yet. But at 6 or 7 bucks for a used cd, selection is the only drawback.
