I wanted a flat screen tv, it happens to be HD. I do not have to watch everything in HD to get through the day.

A $0.50 differential might not be not worthy for your video viewing, but it seems that you're fine with paying more to get the CD
I actually have only purchased about 5 CDs over the last 3 years so it does not apply to me.

I have read thru all 9000+ posts and plenty are about streaming and netflix.
