Tiered iTunes Pricing

I am ashamed to admit that I have spent a few hundred dollars on iTunes over the past 5 years. All those individual purchases were $0.99 each.

I am super salty that iTunes has introduced tiered pricing. More popular songs will be $0.99 plus some. I think the tiers are .69, .99, and 1.29. I want to buy a Busta Rhymes song as I type but that magical $0.30 is giving me pause.

Ninety-nine cents is my sweet spot. I am extremely uncomfortable paying that extra cash. Call me cheap...I don't care.

Busta Rhymes and iTunes really don't need six MORE of my hard earned nickels do they? We are in a depression (yeah I said it). Give me a BREAK. I guess I will wait for one of my friends to buy the entire cd and then I will burn their copy to my computer at no cost to me. So Apple...was it really worth it for that extra dough?


p.s. although iTunes says that there are songs available at the $0.69 price I have yet to find one that I want to purchase.
