He he, I pretty much walk past that particular ship everyday. I’d say good riddance, where these stores baseline price for CDs is NZD$35 (around $25 US) – of course most of them are on ’special’ for $25, but it’s a bit of a con.
One of the reason’s they complain about is the fact that “The Warehouse” (cheap version of WalMart/Target) sells CDs at a lower price as standard – it’s called competition, as they say: “Adapt or Die”

Just shows how Downloading will really takeover, to me.
