It is always interesting when people get an urge to defend their original post as if it was a complete analysis of a situation.
Your phrase "cost savings" implies there was something an ordinary consumer could have bought in 1982 if it hadn't been so pricey -- kind of like a lot more people would be driving a 2012 BMW 525i if they sold for $20,000 instead of $50,000.
Forget the price -- that was irrelevant. When the CD was introduced in 1982, there was no hard drive alternative available to consumers that had any practical use for music storage. Pretending that the only drawback of a 10 MB drive for music storage was the price tag is silly. Pretending there were consumer HD options available with gigabytes of storage is equally silly, as is suggesting the ordinary consumer any other options for receiving, storing and playing 700 MB of digital music data 30 years ago.
