In Rainbows was a double CD and double vinyl box set of new music. Different product. And BwS is not 30quid. To Chile, its 40quid which is about 30,000 pesos. I guess some people dont see it as value for money and see it as fleecing the fans. I also think its a fair request to release just the CD in the future, though the people here who've paid through the nose for the catalogue+CD might feel a bit pissed off if/when that happens.

This is great for the people that can afford it and shit for those who cant.
well, the in rainbows comment was about the 'pay what you want' deal, which included the boxset at 40quid (what about paying 80.000chilean pesos? yeah, i did that and i don't regret it - stupid exchange rate BTW)

well, that's the price i pay for records here, specially deluxe editions or regular editions with something extra. that's the reason i can't complain about the price, not even the shipping, because records are expensive here (and books, that's another story). it would be neat to see the record at a price accessible for everyone, but it's a limited pressing and the low number of cds can justify its price, considering this was self produced. yeah, i'm not an endless sack of money, but i do save in case this things happen. i love and enjoy objects so i buy them if i have the chance.
