The point of such sales is to raise an artificial interest - a track you wouldn't normally bother with is suddenly sold to you under the pretext of a bargain.
What I'm saying is that unless you find something mind-blowing (unlikely) don't buy anything. Spend the $15 on music you really want. |
Sales like this generally tap heavily into my back catalog scouring, though. There's a slew of older material that I've just constantly postponed picking up in favor of newer content that I've recently come across, despite my true fondness for it.
In many respects, it feels analogous to browsing for DVD's, and coming across a heavily discounted copy of a film that you've seen, you've enjoyed, and that you like the idea of owning, though could never be bothered to purchase because there's just a fresher selection to pick from, in which case the bargain price is the incentive you finally needed to make the purchase. I do concede, though, that scenarios like this call into question the extent of which something is truly 'wanted.'
