How much did you pay for HA?

Started by Bad Karma in General Therapy? Topics

I was in a Virgin Megastore yesterday and i saw HA on sale for £16.99 which i think is expensive.I bought my copy of the album from an independent music shop for £11.99 and i had it a few days before the official release date.

Back catalogue stuff is always dearer, it’s how big companies work it, they put stuff out cheaper when it’s new and make up for the losses by setting out a more expensive level for the back cat ranges.

What’s the exchange rate? I only paid $12.99 (about $13.48 after tax), and even if I got it after it had come out, it would have only cost $15.99 here in the states.

Sorry I don’t know your monetary symbols. I’m kinda ignorant in that respect.

I think $15.99 would be roughly about £10? I went on holiday to New York a couple of years ago and couldn’t believe how cheap the CDs were in comparison to the UK - came back with a very heavy suitcase!

I think CDs are getting a bit pricier in the states - I remember when the exchange rate was a bit better I got ‘Superunknown’ for $14, which at the time was about £8 or something! But then when I went 2 years ago, a lot of the non-chart stuff was $18.99, which at that exchange rate probably wasn’t all that different. Still bought loads though! :D

I got mine for £11.99 +p&p off Amazon.

Yeah, the prices have gone up a bit, especially at the mega superstore types, but still sounds like it’s a bit cheaper here.

However, you guys get all the cool imports with extra stuff that would cost us double here. I’ve seen some imports go for $30+.

Ah well, so goes the collector life. Too expensive for me personally.

The internet, the only place you can go shopping naked, and not get arrested.

You think they’re bad? I saw the chemical brothers’ “dig your own hole” in WH Smiths for £17.99! The way cd prices are rising in this country is fucking ridiculous.
