iTunes Gets Real

In my earlier posts, I mentioned CD packaging and how it's a bit unnecessary, as well as that buying your first CD off iTunes was a little disheartening when you didn't have anything tangible to make the purchase real.

Today at Starbucks I saw they have a new way of selling CDs; iTunes cards the size of CDs with the cover art on the front. From what I understood after a brief glance on the back, you bring it home, type in your code, and you've got yourself a new album. Kind of neat. Still unnecessary, but I think I'd like it. C'mon, I'm still human. (Turns out consumers are human too...hm...)

Picture to come soon.
