Nope, sorry, no pics of over-sized butts stuffed in sweat pants.

What I did see in the big CD $5/ea bin:

The Doors - Morrison Hotel
The Doors - Waiting For The Sun
Jimi Hendrix - South Saturn Delta
Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - Live
Jimi Hendrix Band of Gypsies
Rush - Moving Pictures (Remasters series)
Deep Purple - Machine Head

etc. etc. etc.

If I wasn't so into vinyl I'd be snapping up CDs like mad; because, it seems like everybody is trying to get rid of them. The profit margin for CDs must be in the toilet (pure speculation on my part). I have nothing to back that up.

I think it will happen but not just yet - made a few buys recently and I'm shocked at how much prices seem to be holding up. I think you just stumbled on a one in a thousand bargain bin - it is Wal Mart after all. In England it's called ASDA. Not as many lard arses in sweat pants though...:)

Wait a minute. If I don't start working out soon, I may just get to the point where I'm one of them. :eek:

In Scotland it's called Asda too, and there are some big assed people in there, deep fried everything is the cause, no cheap cds though.

To get back to the question - will CD get squeezed out between the hip cats with their vinyl and the digital downloaders?

I would be pretty typical of that squeeze. I buy about 1 CD a year. I buy Vinyl, SACD, Hi-Res Downloads. The squeeze is not only from better formats but also from lower quality MP3. Even 'CD Quality' downloads add to the squeeze. CD as a format is doomed by Quality rivals and Convenience rival formats.
