not exactly cheap.. :'(

not cheap but you get the vinyl and the CD (x 2) and the downloads, its a bumper bundle....plus a booklet and hard case

and its limited to the number bought, as its made to order

seems like a good deal to me....

Anyone knows if the Disc Box is limited, I would like to get the 12" and CDs but I don't really want to spend the money right now...

Wow! This was a surprise...well, not the new record, as the band have been hinting and teasing for years. I'd heard some of the work-in-progress songs live and they sounded like a nice return to rock form, following on HTTT. The surprise that suddenly it's here and you can "pay what you want" for download...that is a nice gesture. i hope people take it seriously...it is new Radiohead, after all..but i guess any money paid is better than the no money they'd receive if it was downloaded unofficially.

this is so friggin conflicting.
i want to give them the bundle of cash they clearly deserve for doing something this cool, but i'm not interested in digitally owning an album. i never was. i like to hold things. i like to buy cds i like.
this whole $81 deal though is a *bit* asinine, then, as i have no use for the vinyl whatsoever (and thats shipping i also wouldnt have to pay), and i would rather not hold my cds in a slip case.

on the other hand, this is just cool as crap.

I'm with you, man. I'd much rather take care of a pretty CD and look at the artwork than worry about losing thousands of mp3s if the computer crashes. But seems we are in the minority these days.

Yeah I am not into digital music at all, I spend more money than ever, I like to have all the artwork associated with the music in my hands, i love vinyl though, specially as the artwork is always better on vinyl.

oh god i know. i remember before we started buying CDs and never looked back we'd have everything on vinyl and it'd all be huge slabs of artwork, it's a much preferable way of looking at and holding things but as far as equipment and storage and practicality i just need CDs. it's too late for me to really get into vinyl anymore and the player i have is so old...

also, i'm really quite broke and the thought of spending 80 bucks on a package, half of which i wont need, is quite off putting.

i just want the cd dammit

An investment no music lover should pass up.

I have little to no CDs or vinyl remaining in my collection. I am an enthusiastic supporter of a removable media free future. I've certainly enjoyed album artwork throughout the years but I've got no problem with expunging that relationship at this point - not just because of the convienience but also because I sort of also associate this sort of thing with institutionalized record industry practices and well, good riddance to that shit.

So I probably won't be purchasing the hard copy but it definitely looks neeto.
