That's curious because I'm a member of several Gaga fan sites and most of the people on there are much younger than me but almost all of them bought the CD. I rip the CD once then put it away, it saves me having to back up most of my music collection onto disks or USB drives, there is also the fact of getting a nice booklet with lyrics and lovely photographs. Considering downloads are no cheaper than CDs, its a real no-brainer for me ;o)
