Asked by willbrawn (6619points) March 20th, 2009

With technology ever changing and people being more aware of where there money is going how do you get your media?

iTunes for Music?
Netflix for Movies?

Or do you still buy your CD’s and DVD’s from Best Buy type locations?

I use

Netflix for new releases
Netflix XBOX streaming for most TV shows
iTunes for the occasional CD and a little bit of the BAY.

I use to collect DVD’s then i realized i never watch them, so netflix was a great choice. And i always scratched my CD’s so copying them to my computer anyways was a must for a re-burn. Plus with prices not changing i found it cheaper to get them from online instead of at the local store.

@A_Beaverhausen thats where i get my local news too.

I also use USATODAY’s iPhone app for National News, that paired with Digg.com I get my fill.

A lot of info I get is through word of mouth, especially music and movies. Sometimes, if I’m not busy, I’ll go out and hunt down information.
I do like to flip through news websites though whenever I have free time. I also like watching science and tech videos about new innovations. TED is amazing.

Music – Usually iTunes.
Books – Library, used book store or trade with friends.
News – throughout the week, online(multiple sources) – possibly tv. On the weekend, I still get the weekend paper. We use the paper, after we’ve read it, for other purposes, so there is no waste. I just like sitting in my favorite chair, reading the Sunday paper.

Like @Allie – I love TED.

music: dtunes (cydia) and mxtube (cydia). dtunes gets tunes from mewseek and thru c torrent, mxtube downloads from youtube. i have a jailbroken iphone. also on the phone, i read iphone forums, digg, twitter, blogs, and so on. so basically i get my media from the web. if i were wanting movies i’d use netflix or just go to a theater.
