You'd think the music industry would take some cues from the DVD industry and issue regular price drops. They might see more CDs flying off shelves.

Are these studio price drops or "loss leaders" at Fry's? A store like Fry's will put stuff on sale at a loss to theirselve's just to attract customers to the store. It is very difficult to go to Fry's and not be tempted to buy something on impulse.
