No physical copy = HORRIBLE

Hard drives crash, music and movies will be lost, I will be very unhappy!!

Looks like I have to stockpile Blu-ray players right now, so I have enough for the rest of my lifetime!!! Oh yea, I'm serious.

I know exactly what your talking about Shawn. I'm 37, and it's really sad to see all the stores closing that I grew up with. One of my favorite things to do was fishing through the stacks of records and movies to find hidden jems. T'was so much fun. It is so sad that future generations will never get to experience that. Half the fun was the actual trip to the stores and the shopping for my movies and music.

Here's a few of my favorites over the years: Sam Goodies, Galaxy of Sound, Toones "Independent store", Record Town, Wall of Sound, Camelot, Circuit City, Two Guys, The Wall, Waves, Woolworths, Suncoast Video and my favorite place to rent videos was West Coast Video!!

I remember Camelot, Sam Goody, and Suncoast. When a Circuit City opened up in my city, I stopped shopping at these places. MY reason for doing this was because Circuit City sold a majority of their cds at $10.88. Why was I going to pay 20 to 25 bucks for one cd, when I could get it for 11 bucks!

Remember when you used to be able to rent videos from the grocery store? I had a weird dream lately that I was in an old obscure grocery store and I was looking at videos to rent. Very inexplicable. I don't see any grocery stores renting movies anymore though but I do see them selling DVD's on racks everywhere and I'm always wondering who the hell buys DVD's at a grocery store and why they bother carryign them. Oh well.

There was both an FYE and Coconuts near where I currently live that were across the street from each other and they both had similar selections of music and movies. Now the FYE is gone and the Coconuts is still there. I thought it would've been the other way around.
