I've seen it in the likes of HMV etc. where a single has been priced at £5 ( and thats singles theat have been out more than 12 months). Surely if they wanted rid of the singles, they'd lower the price?

Your forgetting that CDs go off. Apparently, the stuff used in the insert reacts with the stuff in the CD and after approx. 20 years, the CD becomes unuseable.
I read that it was disks made way back like when CD's were first made because of what was used to make them that it formed an oxide layer between the tracks and lens and is most noticable on the last tracks (since it starts outside and works in)
