Quick question...your not from the US are you?

Well, have you tried the FYE Music Store? They always update their music selection...usually if they dont have what your looking for, they will find the CD/ DVD for you...bad thing is I dunno if theres an FYE to where you live...unless you order somewhere else on the internet...I dont know if they do home shipping....



Haven't I told you guys enough times I live in Kanses?

i only ever buy CD's on amazon if it's like $5 or less. i buy a CD for a penny once.
but yeah, why buy when you can illegally DL'em? XD

i havent really gotten into ebay yet. i guess i really either dont have time, or interest trying to fight for the winning bid =/

I know of a shop that has every CD I want (almost).

If they don't, they can order it for me, and if they feel the price is too high, they lower it.

I've looked everywhere for the music I buy (trade in stores, everything), and have never seen even a trace of it. Yeah, I'll randomly see some Blind Guardian albums around and Edguy's Hellfire Club, etc, but it's always their latest and that's it.

So yeah, I basically have to use amazon.com to get European stuff.

For US bands they're easier to find, like Symphony X, Dream Theater, Iced Earth, etc.

Dangerous.

I went under last month I believe. They charged me a $7 fee, for the first time at least.

But I put in about $350 recently, so I should be good for awhile.

I have my Visa debit locked into there too. And all it takes is that little button, that 1-click shopping button. That button can get anyone into an awful lot of trouble.

I've never had any problems with Amazon, despite what I'd heard about its beta days. I absolutely love it.


Yeah, and for the most part the sellers there are amazing. There's been a few CD's that I've ordered in the past, and literally got in the mail in a few days (weeks before it's expected date).

I've run into one or two "not so new" items however. The sellers said the item was new, then I got it and the CD wasn't even sealed, and whatnot.

But yeah, for the most part amazon.com is pretty reliable.

Heh, I was once addicted to eBay and then the addiction swung to Amazon.

Do we need to put you through detox too?

I'm right there with you, but since I buy off of my check card, I need to wait 'til I get paid to drop money in my account and then probably drop it at Amazon (after I pay my debts to Zabuza and kittybob, that is). Hell, my last Amazon purchase was during a class.

Getting addicted to internet shopping?

I feel your pain

Ever since I bought my tenchcoat from Ebay for 10$ ( Patched lether, it was just a low bid as a joke, but I won it anyway) Ive been wanting to get all these great deals from halfprice.com for things such as computer parts and gaming acessories...

But you gotta learn Xeo, your money may burn a hole in your pocket....but you gotta controll it

Oh theres G-ROM, a PS2 HD that allowes you to install games! :: Buys ::

Amazon IS the best place to go for your music needs for some odd reason. What I want to know Xeo is why aren't you purchasing "Metal Mario?"

In short, I am awaiting 9 orders that were all ordered within about two weeks.

Oh well, it's not too bad if most of the CD's I'm buying are only $10-15, is it? And usually I'd spend about this same amount of money on games, it's just music now ...

And yeah, it's all music. I love music now more than I have ever had, and since my dad is a musician himself I'm really thinking about picking up one of his guitars and messing around with them.

Anyways here's what I have ordered:
Heathenreel [Import] [Audio CD] Elvenking
Keeper of the Seven Keys V.1 [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] [IMPORT]
Glory to the Brave [Audio CD] Hammerfall
Imaginations From the Other Side [Audio CD] Blind Guardian
Iron Savior [Audio CD] Iron Savior
Interlude [Live] [Audio CD] Iron Savior
The Time of the Oath [Original recording reissued] [Original recording...] Helloween
Tribute to Helloween [Import] [Audio CD] Various Artists
The Metal Opera Pt. II [Extra tracks] [Audio CD] Avantasia

I'm starting to look at and value my CD's as much as my games, and since I own 200+ games ... well, this could be the beginning of a new thing.
