I don't care, I'm gettin' it!
I have a few artists that I'll run out and buy or download their CD immediately after it becomes available, whether I've heard anything from it or not because I know I'll like it. This includes Matchbox Twenty, Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, No Doubt (yes they're coming out with a new one), Paramore, and a few others.

I also have a few movies that I've gone out and bought because of the previews or because I know I'll love it due to the actors/director and genre or it's a sequel to a fave.

Do you do this?

My wife and I are movie junkies.  She buys stuff all the time just because it has some actress that she really likes in it (like Meg Ryan).  Even if she has never heard of that 1982 movie that Meg had a 10 minute bit in, she'll still get it.

I on the other hand will buy anything that has a comedian that I like in it.  It doesn't really matter which actor is in it, as long as it looks funny I'll get it to add to our collection (especially when I can go to Wal-Mart and get the 5 for $20 deal).

the bands i buy the albums of without preview are barefoot truth and i will buy the new van halen (david lee roth on vocals!!!) album when it comes out no questions asked.

movies: do tv series count? i bought always sunny in philadelphia on a whim and by the end of the month, i owned seasons 1-4. i will be buying their christmas movie even though it's ridiculously overpriced this afternoon since i just got paid to day (woot).

video game: everblue 2 for playstation 2 back in 2003. i begged for my then boyfriend to buy me this used $5 game from a gamestop because the cover looked so badass and to this day, i'll pick it up from the beginning and do some under the sea salvaging.

I usually always take the advice of the 15 year old kid when I buy a video game. I buy maybe 1 or two a year, but those kids know what they're talking about.

I USED to buy every album by certain divas whether I knew anything on it or not, until they started sucking royally, in my opinion.  This includes Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, and Whitney Houston (among others).
I often will buy movies from certain genres if they get good reviews (I'm an Amazon.com junkie), and the same with video games.

I buy the CDs of my favorite bands even if i don't know their new material, but before the cds come out generally I have read some reviews in magazines or internet, even when is not a 100% accurrate you have an idea of what is coming. About movies I just buy those that I really want to see again or those that i missed when they were in the movie teather.

I buy CDs only after i've listened to some of the music a while.  I usually wait a bit and catch it after the "FAD" has worn off (don't ask why - I don't have an answer).  Movies I wait until they are on TV usually.  I haven't bought one since "Independence Day".  I don't like theaters because they are too noisy and I get really peeved when people talk through an entire movie.  So, I'm at an age where I just wait for it to be on TV.

I am always lined up for the next resident evil, and I wanted the new Lynyrd Skynyrd as soon as I heard they were putting one out.  No disappointments with either one.
#12 | 1283 days ago

I have to listen to at least one or two hit songs from an artist if I'm buying their CD (or other ways nowadays ).

Movies I can buy from word of mouth if I haven't seen it, I usually have those certain friends that have similar tastes so I'll go ahead and value their opinion more than others.

Videogames I buy based on ratings or if it's in a genre I usually am a fan of if I haven't played a demo (who rents games nowadays?).

thanks to the magic of technology, I don't "buy" DVDs anymore, except in extreme cases where I HAVE to own it now, but it's usually one I've seen.  also, I found a site to buy music for 1/10th of the cost of itunes, so I buy a lot of music I haven't heard, either from bands I'm a fan of or someone really recommends

God and Guns...Give it a listen!

#16 | 1283 days ago

1) CKY, Rise Against, Rage (if they ever get back together and come out with more), AC/DC, Saliva

2) No but I ask for some for gifts, like this year I'm looking for Inglorious Basterds

3) I'll always get the newest NHL game knowing I'll love it, same with Call of Duty. And then there are games I'll read about and buy if i know I'll like it. I'll buy most Zelda games. Oh and basically any Mario game. I love that Italian plumber.

Iron Maiden, Priest, Metllica, AC/DC, and Queensryche without a question. The only video game I will by without playing it or seeing it is Madden football.

Movies, I would need to see it first. With having Netflix I can see a movie first before deciding if i want to buy it.
