I knew there was this weird mark-up but I did not know they gave you less than the gas money it took you to get there before marking it up. I did know that they mark them up to almost the new game cost!

In the very near future, CD/DVD games will be a thing of the past along with the audio CD. I already lived the death of the vinyl lp, the audio cassette (I'm trying to forget the 8-track cartridge), and the various VCR's (Betamax, 8mm & VHS).

NOTE: Yes, I know they re-released the vinyl lp's, but what is the percent of people buying them opposed to the people downloading things on their iPods, MP3's or buying an audio CD?

I know this has no point on the subject but vinyls will be around forever. Audiophiles say it has a warmer sound and some of my favorite bands like rise against and the killers which arent even old bands realese there albums on vinyl. Its by no means going to be popular about 1-2 percent are buying vinyl but you can look up on google that vinyl will be with us for a while.

P.S. I was born in 1995 and I think vinyl is awsome! So dont throw away your LPs just yet.

P.S.S I am by no means dissing you in any way.

YER A KIDDO!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: lol

It's true, a vinyl has much superior audio quality than audio cds, the thing is you NEED a good tray with a quality needle (preferably glass) to hear them the way it should.

I have a record player and prefer the analog sound that comes with vinyls to that which comes with digital media.

I saw this one. It's really good. As usual he hits it right on the head. Too bad most of the time the creator is dressing up that goth girl in suggestive clothing just to get some fans. :lol:
