I realize with Aftermath we are not talking about a huge release from a top artist these days, and it's also on a smaller label. I also realize downloading is the way to go and a lot of people dont care about CD's anymore. However, if you're going to have a physical release date then the CD should be easily found. I went to Target, Wal Mart and Best Buy...none of them had it in stock or even a place for it on the shelf. I still prefer CD's. Looks like ebay for me....
