This post was deleted for the following reason: please don't use ask metafilter for stunt posts, go to the radiohead post on the blue to talk about radiohead's innovative pricing strategy.
According to BoingBoing you can pre-order the box set for $80 on the inrainbows web site and the downloads for a price you choose yourself (!). The downloads are also included with the box set. Downloads ship on October, 10th and the box set on December, 3rd. I couldn't check this myself, because the site doesn't respond - probably flooded. posted by criticalbeaver at 4:20 AM on October 1, 2007
I think the price is set as (number of Roadiohead posts currently visible on the front page) / (number of Radiohead posts deleted in the last hour) * 63. posted by jacalata at 4:23 AM on October 1, 2007
The download is based on a voluntary payment system - set your own price - but there is a compulsory credit card processing fee which I think is GBP £0.45. (Ironically enough the anti-corporate Radiohead have found a way to lose themselves money while pouring profits into the hands of the global banks!) posted by skylar at 4:36 AM on October 1, 2007
According to this discussion board thread, you can set your price to 0.00 and it will bypass the credit card capture screen altogether. posted by Ike_Arumba at 4:50 AM on October 1, 2007
