One of the reasons that I posted is because I find it funny that in every other area of my life, I am an incredibly patient person. I am the laid-back, everything in time, kind of guy. It is only with my compulsive nature about "purchases" that this side really comes out.
It is an internal battle that I find humorous, and thought I would share. What is strange is that it isn't really that I need/want something that badly, it is the getting something that has no clear time of arrival.
I would prefer to support brick and mortar (local businesses feeding my behavior flaws and all), but everyplace where I live thinks that DVDs are printed on gold and charge MSRP, or sometimes more. Prices around here are also based on perceived interest. In the stores where I live, you will find that the latest CD by a band is 18-19 dollars, but the one released last year by the same band is 14 dollars. I find practices such as these racketeering and won't support it.
