Nah I can't play my records because some are in mint condition and I don't wanna damage their value plus my sound system is also in mint condition so I can't damage it either so I like looking at them and yeah

Use an industrial degreaser on your fingertips - remove your record, and run your finger along the grooves while playing your MP3 of the album. It's pretty much like listening to the record.

Literally this.

It's similar to why I buy Bluray without an HDTV, some bought before I even got my Bluray player. It's like investing in the future. The limited pressing of many releases and existence of download codes gives me added incentive to do this.

I agree. The fact that there are limited pressing that won't be available later on, gives you a reason to buy the vinyl now, even though you won't use it until later... plus the download codes (while I don't really care about them) make it a no brainer for someone who would've paid for a iTunes download anyway

okay so we all agree, we buy our records to play them.

I buy mine for when the zombies come.
