10.07.12 | CEX doesn't have that much good stuff where I live. Although I have got Foo Fighters- The Colour and Shape and Iron Maiden- Live After Death from there recently.

10.07.12 | CEX here isn't all that either. More focused on games/hardware & films than music. |

10.07.12 | Drop dead is right. I get most of my DVDs from there. |

10.07.12 | Yeah most CEXs are like that, but the ones in Reading and Southampton are very music-centric, I got loads of good shit there for £1 (my budget for CDs at the minute) or under. Poundland is good now too, with the Replay thing. Got some interesting stuff off there, too. You just have to wade through the shit and know that in CEX, "pop-rock" also means "punk-pop", "screamo" and sometimes "hard rock" and "heavy metal". The "Metal & Punk" section may seem barren, but that's because half the stuff is under pop-rock :p |

10.07.12 | Got a load of good DVDs there too, up to my budget of 80p believe it or not. Never paid more than that for a DVD and I no longer have space to put all of them ;) I buy DVDs like I buy CDs - half the time, I go in blind and wait to be surprised. |

10.07.12 | haha, I mainly listen to Black metal or Melo/Death metal with a few exceptions. Doubt CEX would have any of that haha, ohwell, always got Amazon, Itunes, bandcamp, etc! |
ReturnToRock
10.07.12 | Well, they actually do have some melodeath, although not for £1. You'd be surprised with the variety they have, I've even seen stuff there that were clearly demos by garage bands. |

10.07.12 | I get half of my stuff from HMV, I don't have a massive budget either so I do have a look round CEX now and again too, there's also a little shop down the road from me that sells all sorts of good stuff for around £4 so I go there too |

10.07.12 | BOOOOO HMV! You're so mainstream!
Also, being born in 1987, don't you feel old in there? I'm from 1985, and I feel ancient :P lol |

10.07.12 | When in doubt, Amazon |

10.07.12 | ^Actually am going there for the remainder of the Song Of Ice And Fire books. Way cheaper than everywhere else. |

10.07.12 | I wasn't born in 87 xD I couldn't think of a profile name and I was listening to Appetite For Destruction at the same time ..... I really wish I could change it now though |

10.07.12 | I've found some good stuff in CEX before, not a lot though. Bought some stuff from a CD/record fair today. |
DropdeadWHA
10.07.12 | Oh really? haha, I used to buy CD's from HMV a few years back. I've always found HMV generally over-price everything. Maybe it's just down south, idk. |
