I haven't bought a new recently released album for a loooooong time. I guess I could buy the Christmas album.... it is for charity and all!

Let me guess, you downloaded it...

over here they cost between $10 and up to $30 or $50 .
our $ is twice your money unit.

they are very expensive and i think a lot of people download them of iTunes. or share files

i personally prefer to buy them either from the shops or of ebay. i then load them onto the computer and don't play them again. a complete waste of money really.

i do download bootlegs that i know i cannot buy

i also like to collect vinyl albums.
originals, from your united kingdom, via ebay.
i have spent quite a lot doing this recently but i am gathering a fine collection so i am happy.

Depends what you're buying, when you're buying it and where you're buying it.

I guess around £15 would be the 'proper' price for new pop albums. But if they're being heavily pushed or are already in the charts, you'll be able to buy 'em for under a tenner at Tescosainsburyasdamorrison - or from Hmvplayamazon. But they'll tend to be £15 if you wanna buy 'em after the push or once they're out of the charts. Except when the're being remaindered by the aforementioned Hmvplayamazon, when you may be able to get 'em (pot luck time) from £2.99.

It depends. I've never bought a CD that under $15 unless it was on sale. And I've never bought one over $30 unless it was accompanied with a DVD.
