Right on will,

I was at the mall today shopping for my girlfriend's birthday and out of some corner of the mall a man named Sam Goody ran out, raped me in the ass, and ran back into the shadows. I dropped 35 bucks on 2 DVDs and a ($4) magazine, and that was WITH a "buy 1 DVD get the second 1/2 price" coupon. The only time I really buy CDs anymore is at that particular band's live show, where A) merch. is hell of a lot cheaper and B) I know that more of my cash is going to support the band, if not the band then at least the tour company. I'm talking about club shows for non-major labels here too, $15 tickets and even cheaper CDs...no $50 arena ticket ripoffs for me. (35 bucks for a shirt???)

Until record companies decide to lay off the gluttonous overpricing of music, they can count on me not paying for their CEO's third beach house.

Edit: What's up with movie companies re-releasing older movies that you could find for relatively cheap, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas for example, jam packed with 3 discs of worthless extras and charging 30 bucks for it? I can't even find a regular version of Groundhog's Day for under 20 bucks without all the "deluxe" bonus features.
