Oh, I haven't bought a single cd this year, and maybe two over the two years previous. That's WAY down from what it was just a few years ago, when one or two a week was typical.
I admit that the 9.99 standard price at iTunes has spoiled me a bit. I just can't bring myself to plunk down 14 to 18 dollars for the same music just so I can have a plastic case and an insert. There are still a significant number of titles I can't (legally) get via download, and I do pick up and look at them the Virgin Megastore, sigh, and put them right back in the bin. (Admittedly, Virgin is notoriously overpriced. Living in Kissimmee as I do, it's the only retail location that's anything like within reasonable driving distance.)
Also, gulp, I haven't bought a single movie on DVD this year. There are tons of titles I'd like to have, but, these days, I just can't justify it.
