I was just wondering if there are any good metal music stores in the area. Hopefully there's a few as we have maybe one store out here in San Francisco that has a dedicated metal section.
Another Atlanta question

- Start date

Between the vendors that are going to be there, every disc you could possibly want is going to be available for purchase at the show for much cheaper than anywhere else.

It's one of my favorites things about ProgPower...the vendors...=)
Saved up a bunch of money for this one...hell yes

I love 'em, as well, but you've got to read those labels...I almost purchased a couple of PAL DVDs last year!
Speaking of which, does anybody have an all-region DVD player they would highly recommend?

For the dude in San Francisco -- would that be Amoeba Records? Great shop for metal!!! I nearly crapped my pants in there. Almost as big as a grociery store.
As for the guy wanting info on DVD players, I got an awesome machine from CODEFREEDVD.com. For about $120 shipped, I got a machine that will play any region DVD, PAL/NTSC, anti-copying encoded discs, etc. What you'll find is that you actually get many more features for LESS that what you'd pay for a standard model at your local electronic store, because they are not allowed to sell these machines in the big chain stores, thus no advertising costs to drive up the prices. Mine is a "Daewoo". Works just fine, don't waste teice the cash on an expensive name brand that won't even work for you.

Actually I've only been to Ameoba once. The place I go to is Rasputin Music. The selection is pretty good and it's in a perfect location(if I dont find what I want I just walk 1 block to Virgin Megastore) right in the heart of downtown San Francisco.But I actually buy most of my cd's from metaldisc.com.metal71 said:

Thanks for the tip! I've actually read some good things about the Daewoo machines on the internet, and the price is certainly better than I had hoped...

Rasputins ROCKS! I only went to the one in Campbell when I live out there, but that place was heaven to me. Hell of a prog metal section..metal section and half the store as a used section? Complete bliss and massive wreckage to the bank account!

I love Rasputins, both times I have been there I wanted so much...and spent too much....I am glad i don't live there or i would be broke for sure.

In Philadelphia, I pretty much order everything from the Net. Century Media, Laser's Edge, The End, and occasionally Alta Mira have gotten my business.
Nice that most of those (plus others like Sentinal Steel) will be at the show. The CD displays are awesome.

You can get the Daiwoo S151 all-region DVD player on E-Bay for $48 plus $29 s/h US. Here's the link. Seller has over 2000 sales on E-Bay and there's no bidding required. He appears to have a lot of them. Here's the link:

Speaking of mail order, I just got my shipment from Metaldisc.com today. I think they have the best selection of any internet site as opposed to going to a specific label's website.
I expect to go home with plenty of cd's after ProgPower.
