For the first time.....ever.

"this is the first CD price cut since the media format came on the scene in the 1980's. Think about that for a minute. New format, volumes low, prices high. Ronald Reagan was president."

[JB73]

$10 a CD. That's exactly the price music labels did not want retailers to sell their product at during the 1990's, the FTC found. But, come on, the Berlin Wall has fallen, the Soviet empire has collapsed, we even have robotic pet dogs now. Amazing things can happen in twenty-years.

if you're really free in time go look up news reports from back when CD's first came out.

noone seems to remember that we the consumers were promised that CD's would be less than $7 in less than 10 years.

anyway. something is finally happening. (just what napster wanted to happen a few years back)

i for one am glad to hear about this... but not impressed yet. not untill the promised $7 CD by all lables will i be impressed.
