Know what I hate?

Stores that sell CDs incomplete. For example, this ISOS3 CD, it only cost like 5 bucks, but the again I didn't get the hard-paper "slide in". You know what I mean. It may sound like a trivial thing, but it bugs the hell out of me.

Another example would be when the cd-holder pins are broken. Spending extra money on new covers sucks.

No, it was a local store.

And to the person who said "sooo?". Do you like not getting part of the CD?

I wouldn't have paid if I had known it misses a part. It doesn't really matter that much as a whole, I can just buy a new copy. But as a principle...

I just said I CAN AFFORD A NEW COPY OF IT. Do you suppose that everytime you buy something cheap, you should accept damaged goods?

Yeah, I know what you mean !!! If you paid for something, It's supposed to work, thats just the way it is.

The full price for the average cd is about 13 dollars US. This is probably a low estimate, but it gets the job done. This gets you a nice case, insert and cd. Now, 5 is roughly 39% of 13. Therefore you can expect about 39% quality of the original. They cant omit songs that were on the original cd, and if the case was heavily damaged, no one would buy it on visual apperance alone. Therefore, the insert is the best place to save money.

Personally, Id buy a cd with no case, no insert, slip it into my cd book directly and be done with it if they would lower the cost but chances are, the bastards would double it..
