    Yeah CD's suck for Christmas unless you specifically told them what cd to get you but then you might hear "They didnt have that Tool album you wanted, so we bought you Mozarts Greatest Hits instead :( )

    I'd have to agree, uggh my sister plans on buying me a CD dispite the fact I told her.

    Thing is look at it this way, which would be better if you were a kid?
    - A €16 CD
    or
    - 16+ Albums Burned to CDR :D
    I would have went for the second option when I was a kid, oh and yessss I know its illegal but its the current reality of things..

    Cheap skate - most kids would want €16 worth of CDRs each with 16 albums..

    As the site says Well you were the one who always taught them to look for a good deal! An album on CD costs $300,000 to make, but a movie on DVD cost $100 million. That's 33,333% more value per disk! You're the bargain hunter, which would you choose
