After coming home from a 12 hour drag of classes at college, I found to my surprise that Oracle (Yes as in Larry Ellison, database servers and Sun Microsystems Oracle) sent me an iTunes gift card with a value of $10.00 USD.
I've always been a bit leery of iTunes, hearing all sorts of crazy stuff like files having DRM and being in a proprietary format, and iTunes sometimes wrecking some Windows boxes (though that claim may be unfounded). So if there's a taker, I'll provide the code via e-mail in exchange for either a $10.00 Paypal deposit to my account (which'd go to a GOG most likely : P) or a GOG gift cert. at whatever point I find something appealing of equal or lesser value. Afterwards, the card'll be put through a highly creative & destructive process.
iTunes got rid of all DRM on their music files not long ago, and though M4A format can cause some problems pretty much any MP3 player will play them.
Just saying... not interested myself, I still buy CDs as they sound better and I like packaging.
iTunes hasn't sold music in DRM for a year or so now. IIRC if you just back up your music (iTunes folder in My Music) you'll be fine.

I prefer Vinyl myself. They put cd sound to shame (providing care was taken with the vinyl mastering) and full size artwork vs mini cd artwork is also sweet.
I would perhaps make an offer if I didn't have to install that piece of crap iTunes software to do it. Thw windows version of iTunes is very poorly programmed, a resource hog and also installs a bunch of useless services. Worst of all, it bundles quicktime, a useless media player. Sure you need it to play .mov, but why play video format that when there are several superior video formats available?
I torrent music.
:P
I'd accept the offer, but I'm not sure if gift cards are region-specific (I'm one of those weird people that actually like Itunes).

According to a 2007 forum thread I found on Google, the physical ones seem to be.
