I bought Puffy's No Way Out album from Walmart and it was so depressing. I didn't know Walmart did that shit. That was in NY. I have never even looked in the CD section since. It might be different in Miami. Otherwise, Walmarts are ok. They need to make a Walmart Deluxe though, where you can buy something other than crap. :lol PEACE.

$50/hour, but no kissing on the lips and colors must be pre-separated
I love how Wal-mart tries to impose the protestant beliefs of their founders upon the people they pettle their wares to. Wal-mart has a responsibility to provide the consumer with what they want, and those consumers include grown-ups who don't giggle and tell their mom if they hear an evil synonym for "pee-pee" on the rap album they bought.

Weird, at my Best Buy I'ven ever had to buy a CD for higher than like $11.99 ... same with Circuit City

Yeah, our Circuit City store has always had good CD prices. Most CDs seem to be priced around $12 or less, even new releases.
 
Actually, Wal-Mart is the very definition of Capitalism.



If they can strong arm the fucking RIAA into lowering prices, more power to them.

You dudes are very lucky, considering that I can walk into any Circuit City, Best Buy, et al. and find plenty of CD's marked at 14.99 and possibly higher.

Labels: 'or else what?'

Walmart: "we'll stop selling them"!

Labels: Okay, knock yourselves out....

Walmart: Okay, then we'll stop selling CDs like we stopped taking cards other than our own at Sam's.

Labels: Yeah, that was a pure genius move. How many people did you sign up to your own credit card again??
