Billy Liar Or Not!

[Toddz]

Dear All

When purchasing my marillion (marbles live) cd today from hmv which i have to tell you by hmv prices was very reasonable at £5.99,i walked past the accesories part and saw a huge basketful of md`s for sell,i have already mentioned this in another post under quality of mini disc media.... anyway i went to pay for them and said to the chap that i came back to purchase because you never know whether you will be able to still purchase these in a few months... He surprised me and said that he was a mini disc fan as well and had been for a few years,but recently he had sold his unit ( didnt ask him what unit it was sorry there was a queue) ,he said the reason in his opnion that mini disc was being phased out so to speak was because companys had tried to sell original minidisc recordings of music for £25.00 EACH when mini disc first came out ummmmmm is that right does any one know £ 25.00 each i cant quite believe that .... thus the title of my topic billy liar or not!!!!!!!!!

Regards

They might have been at one point, but they are or became, lol the same price as a regular cd.

Can't confirm the £25 price tag but wouldn't be surprised. My brother bought "Jump Back The Best of The Rolling Stones" MD at the end of 2000 (I think) for £15.99 from Virgin Megastores.

I remember the only place that stocked them was Virgin, and then they never more than a tiny selection.
