I had a textbook come in damaged and amazon gave me a $20 credit onto my account. It's burning a hole in my virtual pocket... What should I buy? A video game? A movie?

David, I'd definitely answer the "what would you buy?" with 2 or 3 excellent classical CDs. You switched to "What should I buy?", but my answer is the same.

A beer....

Remastered Miles Davis "Kind Of Blue".

A $20 gift certificate for yourself.

I've thought about this question for the last three hours...

Since it is only $20, it would seem logical to get a movie, as they are usually right around that price. So you'd not have to fork out any of your own cash.

But, you can find games sometimes discounted to under twenty. Since they start out being prices at $60, getting a discounted game would not only cost you none of your own money, but net you the largest savings.

Unless! you can find a movie box set that is normally $60, but is now priced at $20.

...

I don't know. I think I'll go back to thinking.

Nice.

JohnK, Good point.

Chris, I'd love to find one of those movie or TV box sets deeply discounted....

I still haven't bought anything yet. Today I will browse through the amazon warehouse used games and also look at movies.

I'd vouch for a couple of movies or cd's....or put it towards some tool purchases.

I'd sell it to me for $5 cash.

Yes, CASH, my friend.
