Worlds Most Expensive CD

The last time I purchased a CD was yesterday actually! The Devil Wears Prada and an old The Decemberists album that I lost recently.

That is some absurd packaging. I mean, I love jewelry, and I love making it even more, but using the platinum and diamonds in a freakin' CD case? And then charging that much for it?! It's just stupid. I'd rather save up for the raw supplies and make something more creative.

I think the last physical CD I bought of my own accord was the WALL•E soundtrack, though my mom talked me into buying and sharing some symphonic metal not too long ago. Angtoria was the one, I think. I've been either buying digital copies or Jack Sparrowing music more often lately. ^^; Also, a lot of what I've been getting lately is Vocaloid stuff, which of course is best downloaded.

Versailles' Noble and Lyrical Sympathy came in the post on monday!! I'm on some kind of CD buying rampage at the moment, I've bought more CD's in the last 3 months than in the last three years! I also refuse to download music so it gets a bit expensive =/

I could download those songs in "Woman" in a flash :P
I bet someone will buy it not because they like the music that much but because they want to be in the Guinness Book of World Records. lol x3 x3

The last CD I bought was years ago!!!

It was the Gundam seed destiny complete best collection (all the ops and ed songs and a bonus disk of remixes) back in 06, i think.

Hmmm... it was either Hachimitsu to Clover soundtrack, or The Hours Piano Soundtrack... I think it was over an year ago.

Also: Most expensive CD case to me = waste of money.
But that's just me.

i forgot when, but the last CD i bought was l'arc en Ciel's AWAKE, and Yellowcard's Light and Sounds...

>,< whats their goal to have a cd cover like that...

guiness again?

what will they gain from it...
money wasted...

Does a soundtrack bundled with a game count? I got persona 4 a while ago and it comes with a OST with half of the songs from the full OST, which i plan to get sometime soon. If not the last music cd i got was probably a decade ago, it was a Blink 182 soundtrack for my cousin for christmas.

Making something absurd like that just for the sake of getting into Guinness? *facepalm*
Anyway, the last time I bought a CD was back in October or Novemeber. It was Jay Chou's newest CD, Capricorn :D

That case might be the single most ridiculous thing to exist outside the Internet.

Also, I bought a Charles & Eddie CD on eBay a few weeks back. It was cheaper than buying the mp3s on Amazon, and I wasn't in a hurry.

lol these days you can download any song you want, but I would buy the CD just to support the artist. The last CD i bought was ayumi hamasaki's secret, which was how many years ago hmm...

Wow that's a lot... wonder if the music's any good...

I rarely buy CDs, since I DJ with vinyl. Though it just so happens I've finally gotten around to buying Ken Ishii's latest release this week - which came out on CD (last year). Shipping from Japan as I type...

The only other CD I bought would be the Radio Allergy soundtrack.

Last cd I got was Audioslave, and that was a gift.
Nice to know there are still people who don't care about a recession and are willing to waste thousands of dollars to try and get into a book of world records. =P

Last year
May'n LION CD :3
Usually I just buy for the content, not the fancy super edition casings

Bought a Birthday Massacre CD about a month ago ;)

CDs, what are they?
Haha, I have no idea when the last time I bought a CD was, probably when I was a kid.

Buying the Angelic Layer vol 1 OST? Months back now.... Unless I count presents, which was Robert Downey Jr's album. lol I hardly ever bought CD's. Only of music I REALLY-REALLY(or Japanese CDs I spot for decent prices randomly in second hand music/cd stores). Like RDJ's music. And the American Pie 3 soundtrack.

So does a Woman jump out of the CD player when that one is played from the Woman CD or does a Man jump out? I might wait till the Man CD comes out with the expensive case to get the Woman who jumps out of it. . . . . .

Last CDs I got were Miku Hatsune - RE:packaged and Aya Hirano - Riot Girl and the late Eri Kawai's - Kaze no Michi e. Got a whole lot before that from Playasia as well on the order before. Last local CD (normal music I listen to here was) AC/DC Black Ice.

As the saying goes:

"If you wanna get a woman, you better have money."

I bought a CD probably a few months ago.
An Cafe.

I don't buy CD's a lot anymore. Don't really have the money.

OMG so expensive... the world is going crazy! Why would you want to put diamonds on a CD case? And who would buy it?

I bought Persona 4's soundtrack a few weeks ago. Will need to get some more soundtracks *_*!

I can't think of any CD worth that price.

I bought a few anime soundtracks at Book Off around Christmas time, and I bought a couple new CDs as Christmas gifts.

I think the record-attempt is a neat idea for getting publicity; I'm just curious if anyone will buy the world's most expensive CD. :)

I am going to buy a CD this weekend as a gift for a friend of mine.

Wow, there is a large difference between that special casing above and the one on Amazon.

There are very few CDs that interest me, But then again, I hardly ever enter a music store.

i never buy cds but i just got the Beatles Love album from the cirque du solei show,

The last CDs I bought were the Final Fantasy Tactics OST and the Star Ocean/Valkyrie Profile Arranged album...

..and that was at least 3 or 4 years ago.

they should just go ahead and make the CD itself platinum

well i just pre-order a cd yesterday.
but technically its not a cd, its an USB.
Its Ayumi's latest album "Next Level" and they have an USB version of it. Its first in the world. I told myself I just have to get it.

For any Ayu's diehard fans, here's more details, titles looks promising:-

iced out CD albums, lol i think GSC needs to make some Iced out Figures, im sure a couple diamonds here and there on a figure cant hurt lol.

I don't think there's any amount of music that'd be worth that much Money!
(x x;)

Not counting CD-Rs I hardly buy CDs. The last CD I bought was a 3 CD-Box Set: Queen - Greatest Hits I, II, III - The Platinum Collection

But even though it's called "Platinum Collection" the box is just a plain carton and there are no diamonds either. After reading this article I feel cheated! I want my 15 EUR back! ;_;

Just kidding of course.. *lol*

I bought first season of You're Under Arrest last 3 weeks ^^

lucky me cause it include the OVA and the mini specials

got 5 in akiba... Code Geass Complete Best, CODE SPEED Anime Trance BEST, SPEED Anime Trance BEST 5, SPEED Anime Trance Ecstasy, Animage 30th anniversary Anime Dance request countdown, and umauma dekiru trance wo tsukuttemita 3 samune de yoyuu deshita

...last time i bought something in the us was probably... a kotoko cd a few years back ^^;

Last CD I bought musta been the Macross Frontier Vocal Collection... that was an expensive CD too because custom taxed it... bastiches.

So this CD just reminded me of how much I spent on it >_<

A friend of mine braought me the soundtracks of Touhou Sumisou, IaMP and Touhou Hisouten, SWR last month during his japan holidays. Nut the number of CD / DVD´s (except games) I brought in my life is just 6: 2 Touhou Soudtracks, 2 Musicals, the borat movie and a special album of Chihiro onizuka.

But I have also some games in sipmle chinese (yes, they are legal), mostly falcom. And maybe I will get some more this month.

Don't remember...but it was somewhere when I was still in middle school...

I think the last time I bough a CD was over a year ago ^^; That was before I discovered the wonderful world of torrents. @.o

I recently got some lovely character album CDs with my Lucky Star Limited Edition boxes.

recently spent a ton on getting clannad related Cds (13 together). Had to get off auctions since for some reason, it cant be ship overseas >.> except for the Movie OST.

The most recent is Piano de Kanon through Y! Auction Always wanted to get that. ^^

why???

I haven't purchased a CD since i retired my CD player for a second time
around.

And i thought the content on the CD would have given this a pricey tag.

Though i won't deny i never spent a lot of money on CD's before. I've
bought discontinued Rap and Hip Hop CD's that seem unreasonable to people
who aren't real fans.

Most of my expensive CD's are music from MF Doom and MF Grimm. :O

There's also a CD made out of glass for 200,000 Yen.
It supposedly has better sound than regular plastic CDs.

Bought AC/DC's latest back in January... ^^

They still have music CDs?

Starcraft Battlechest last month for the second time :D ^^ need to practice mi vult micro though

Last purchased was on last month, May's Street!! purchased it though i have the mp3.

I wonder if the music on the CD is actually worth the effort of making such an expensive case...

Last one I got was the soundtrack that came w/ Persona 3 FES and Persona 4 if that counts. Otherwise it would be BoA - No.1 which was like 3-4 years ago?

My last CD purchase was due to not being able to find a torrent online of the Yoshida Brothers "Rising" single. I think I got it in October of last year?

That is really symbolic for a "Woman" CD.

My anti-virus software come in CD~~~~~~~~

i only buy my usual avex artists' CDs namely ELT, Otsuka Ai, Ayumi, mihimaru gt

All the CDs I've gotten in recent years, are CDs that came with games or limited edition anime DVD sets. I haven't actually bought a CD by itself in years.

Do CD soundtracks that come with a game of DVD count?

It's been a while since I've bought or even used a CD, now that i have my MP3 player and mini flash drive.

actually back in december. "servants in heaven, kings in hell" by jedi mind tricks. it was on sale at a local circuit city that was closing and liquidating their merchandise.

Last CD I bought was like 2 years ago (and that was the OST to the Fafner: Right of Left OAV, which is pretty good). Only CDs that I got recently are the bonus CDs that came with the limited editions of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and Lucky Star DVDs (both of them being vol. 1 with collector's boxes and free stuff, of course).

The only CD's Ive bought this decade are all foreign. I bought X Japan - Last Live and an Emilie Autumn album in the last year.... Oh and I bought a Jonathon Coulton (Still Alive from portal) CD at PAX08... Funny since JoCo's music is free to download on his site. But he was awesome. Just like these other CD's, I don't mind paying when the entire thing is good.

Oh yea, also bought this guys cover album via Amazon's DRM free MP3's...

Hard to beleive one guy is doing all this at once... live.

Haven`t bought a CD in ages...

But then again people don`t seem to get it that the price isn`t really for the gold and diamonds but for the incredible bragging rights ^_^ They are actually the ones being sold, not the product itself.

>"Speaking of CD's, when was the last time you purchased one?"
A long, long time ago..

Who in the world would buy a CD like that?

I last bought a CD over Christmas - the latest Dir en Grey album, which I was able to pick up nice and cheap at Zavvi before they closed down. I much prefer buying CDs to downloading (although I do both) because I like having the physical item, and I like the booklets that come with CDs.

remember those things called tapes?

yeah, A 'Simon and Garfunkel'... something or other. That was the last music media i bought
i feel very old all of a sudden...

It been more than one year i didnt purchase CD and anyone would buy this exnpensive cd? coz it too EXPENSIVE

O_o that CD is just TOO expensive.

but yeah, I just bought 2nd Phantasm (FES) Single.

LOL..Never bought an Original CD and pirated is already quite long ago..

More than a year ago. And it was an exception, because it was a friend's CD, so I had to buy it :)

But at least here in Brazil, CDs are too expensive. Let's face it, if I had to buy everything I listen to I wouldn't have the money. And I wouldn't find everything I want around here, too.

I like CDs, but with these prices around here and the poor quality of the material and the little catalog, unfotunatelly CDs have become a thing of the past for me.

I buy DVDs, for example. They are much cheaper in comparisson (wich I founf absurd) and I'm proud of having a beautiful original collection of movies, still with much to grow.

the last CD what i bought is last month, of the japanese band UVERworld. Usually get musics from the net, but there some artists what i really like so i buy the CDS for collection. after all, if anyone buy his CD, the band will disappear, and it is not good... the same for DVDS of movie, anime too, buying then make the anime, movie more famous and get more attention for sequels and merchandise.

CD? What's that? I only ever heard of mp3s.

LOLWUT?

I never purchase any music CD before since I can get to listen and get it for free from the awesome underground net world.

More then a year ago. It was the Star Wars Phantom Menace Ultimate Edition that I've found in one store with 20% of discount. But this was at about 2006.

With internet around, I only buy important CDs, like Star Wars' OST and Neon Genesis Evangelion's. Since I collect both of them, it is kind of an obligation to have the cds. Even so, CDs are the last thing in my "must buy" list, since they're pretty expensive around here and I already have all the tracks in Media Player as well. XD

10,000,000 yen for a CD
what kind of song inside it ????????

This is something that you don't see everyday. For the packaging by using diamond and platinum are absurd maybe he might just win himself into the book of record. To the riches ir's consider cheap but to me I will just download it from the internet instead since I'm still a student my spending is very limited.

Man, and I thought $150 for the Be@rbrik Daft Punk Alive 2007 CD was steep...

Last time I bought a CD? Wednesday, so yesterday: The Cat Empire's "Live on Earth" album... because though Cat Empire is awesome, Cat Empire live is even more so. I'll buy local and independent artists, big corperations can go hang. Since I mostly listen to local music anyway though...

Last purchase?? Late Jan when i was in Japan and I picked up the Clannad After story opening and 4 copies of Mizuki Nana's Shin Ai for all the different bromides in different stores(including the concert grounds) itself

Not looking to buy anything yet...Hoping for songs that will entice me...

Though I don't actually use physical media anymore, I like buying physical media and ripping it at my own compression. I don't trust others to compress it for me especially if I have to pay for it. So while physical media still exsists, I'll continue to purchase it.

Holy eff
That is a goddarn expensive CD you have there

Blimey, i can't even remember when i purchased a CD, quite a while ago.

hmm been years since I last baught a CD I always buy songs from ITunes these days so much easier and conveniant.

Hope that CD lasts forever, because that is one expensive CD.

I wonder how good the themes are.. for that price... my ears should explode of beautifulness.
Rather the cheap version is more like me, my CD cases fell a lot and broke easily, It'll not be fun to broke a 100k$ case...

I usually download all my music, got over 11gb of MP3. I'm not happy with it, but here you *CAN'T* get any original CD. The only original CD sold even at big big shops, are from local artist or well-know yankees music.
Europe music? Asian music? No-no, import only, and customs only allow you one or two CD per year, they will confiscate any more if you don't register as an importer (or pay taxs like 6x the CD price).

Regularly, I buy at YesAsia or Play-Asia some original CD's, of albums I already got downloaded but I like them so much I want to support the company. Like 8 or 10 disc a year.
My last ones where FF Distant Worlds, and Persona 4 OST.

the last CD I got was the daredevil soundtrack. ^^;
*hides back under his rock*

Its been almost 3 years since I last bought a CD. Nowadays, I have the nets as my source for limitless downloads.

My last CD was a Daft Punk Best of bought last september, yo!

unnecessary purchase
hell its only a cd case which has diamonds

They're selling the CD or the CD case.... zzzz this just doesn't make any sense...

Thats ridiculous~! Such a waste of resources~ Kind of ~ hahahah~

i would buy a lot of things even a car for that expensive

Thats just crazy! *_*
