I got 2 records yesterday :)

1) Styx - Equinox (EXCELLENT -- I HAVE ALREADY LISTENEND TO IT)
2) Pat Benetar - Precious time (I have this on cassette also)


I do feel guilty however.... On my Styx Album is a sticker from a record store that used to be in town here and it has thier price listed... $6.99 and here I got it for 99 cents!!

I do feel guilty getting all this beautiful media for almost nothing,I feel like I am stealing it/not respecting it!!

Try to find Cornerstone in the original packaging, gorgeous. Also, the laser etched Paradise Theatre.

I bought Pale Communion.
Didnt like as much as Heritage, which, while a big disappointment to many, is probably my 5th or 6th favorite Opeth Album. Still, nothing compares to Morningrise!

Led Zeppelin IV and Houses of the Holy on vinyl (w/free mp3 downloads). Can't wait. Been doing a whole vinyl renaissance since I picked up an awesome turntable at a garage sale.

Got it for $50 (not an actual pic, but it's the same one)

the hobbit part 1 - $11 in hd from amazon [amazingly]
i dont usually buy digital video but that was an ok price and my kids were visiting for christmas.
we had part 2 on blu ray from a friend and plans to see part 3 while they were here

before that: 4 seasons of battle star: galactica on amazon. $5/season/HD

also the right price. the tv seasons on amazon usually cost an arm and a leg.

some movies/vids never make it to dvd/blu ray. vhs is all you're going to get.

Luckily a lot of those type of series are on Netflix.

I used to have a huge library of bootleg VHS tapes, but the only shows I have left that are only on tape are the Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon (I love the theme) and my the Maxx collection. The only movie I have on tape I can't find digitally is the Four Corners of Nowhere.

Same here, although not those albums or that turntable.
Discogs will be the cause of my bankruptcy....
And I picked up George Harrison All Things Must Pass (triple album)
I also recently got the Third Man Records Vault Package #22

A couple albums from bandcamp. I really like buying music from them. Can download flac, and there's zero hassle. All bands should use bandcamp.

The German Blu-ray of the Gruffalo and the Gruffalo's Child. It's region zero and the sound and picture are amazing!!!

I think the last time I bought anything on physical media was Skyrim in 2011.

The Shield entire series DVD box $20 on Amazon. DVD, yeah, but worth it. I don't think I'll buy when the Blu-Ray comes out.
