| £5.65 | United States | Discbox?: Undecided CD?: Not Answered* |
| £5.65 | United States | Most I have paid for an album in years. Discbox?: Undecided CD?: Not Answered* |
| £5.60 | United States | I actually meant to pay less, but I accidentally converted Dollars into Euros and not Pounds like I should have. Basically, I meant to pay $8 American. My bad. Oh well. I'm just glad to be able to finally hear the album. Discbox?: Undecided CD?: Not Answered* |
| £5.50 | United States | I like the idea of paying what you think something is worse. It gives you middle ground between getting it for free through illegal download or paying the sometimes exorbitant price set by the record labels. Radiohead, and their ideals, are by far the most innovative of our day. Discbox?: Yes CD?: Not Answered* |
| £5.45 | United Kingdom | Little use for vinyl, not much use for MP3 either. Plan to download and burn the tracks to an ordinary CD-R and listen to them that way. Depending on how I like the tracks, more than likely will buy the standalone CD version when it comes out. Hopefully, it will be a vesion of the boxed set without the vinyl. - Not much point Radiohead expending the resources to make and send vinyl if I don't want it, economically or environmentally. Discbox?: Undecided CD?: Undecided |
| £5.45 | Netherlands | this is great, trust your consumer. Discbox?: No CD?: Not Answered* |
| £5.28 | Ireland | Fair play to Radiohead. I'm not even sure how much I like them really because they can be a little whiny. But, anybody that not only sticks two fingers up to the traditional music industry and creates a moral dilemma among the general public deserves to be saluted. Discbox?: No CD?: No |
| £5.20 | Portugal | I'm only paying 5,20 because I'm REALLY short on cash at the moment, but next month it will be my birthday and I will definitely pay the 40 pounds for the Discbox version. This is just an appetizer, so to speak. Discbox?: Yes CD?: Not Answered* |
| £5.00 | United States | would have paid more if I were doing better financially, still I think and hope the band will make more off me this way than if I had paid retail Discbox?: No CD?: Not Answered* |
| £5.00 | Canada | Great album! DRM Free is worth more to me!! Discbox?: Undecided CD?: No |
| £5.00 | United Kingdom | I Like Radiohead a lot Discbox?: No CD?: Not Answered* |
| £5.00 | Germany | The MI must die! Discbox?: No CD?: No |
| £5.00 | Austria | Fair game, 5 quid for a new album, everyone profits. How much is the bandwidth costing them though? Discbox?: No CD?: No |
| £5.00 | United States | I arbitrarily picked five pounds; a little over 10 dollars american. Less than what I'd have to pay for a CD at a store but it appears all or most of the money is going right to the band. Since labels take (steal) most of the dough, even two dollars american would probably be a be a bigger cut than what the band would get with a traditional record deal. This is a great idea, I hope more artists jump on board - Trent Reznor has already hinted this is similar to what he wants to do when his contract is up. Discbox?: No CD?: Not Answered* |
| £5.00 | United States | radiohead is basically doing an official leak for this album, which is clearly a smart move on their part. There was still be a constant demand for this album and once the official vinyl and cd's start rolling in, it will be just like releasing it on record first. Discbox?: Yes CD?: Not Answered* |
| £5.00 | France | Payed for discovering the album and encouraging an initiative that I appreciate from a band that I admire. Will probably buy the two cds if the album is good. Discbox?: No CD?: Not Answered* |
| £5.00 | United Kingdom | The first Radiohead I intend to buy. Discbox?: Undecided CD?: Not Answered* |
| £5.00 | United States | The selfless offering is one born out of the interdependence between band and fans. Without a dedicated fanbase, this would have never been a possibility. The music speaks for itself, it's not about money, it's about transformation. Discbox?: Undecided CD?: Not Answered* |
| £5.00 | United Kingdom | I'd be happy to add to my contribution once I heard it - as long as it isn't the atonal meanderings of recent releases. Perhaps there should be an option to give more after hearing it, or maybe less. Discbox?: Undecided CD?: Not Answered* |
| £5.00 | United Kingdom | Slightly cheaper than Itunes. lots cheaper than shops, a more than fair price I'd say for the band given they may only around £1.50 per album from EMI. Discbox?: No CD?: Undecided |
| £5.00 | United States | Ten American dollars (+/-) for the band. Matching amount donated to the New Orleans recovery effort (exact charity to be determined later). Twenty American dollars for conscientious human beings. Win/win situation. Thanks. Discbox?: Yes CD?: Undecided |
| £5.00 | United States | well worth it Discbox?: Undecided CD?: Undecided |
| £5.00 | United States | was approx $10 US. i thought that was fair (same as itunes) Discbox?: No CD?: Undecided |
| £5.00 | United States | I chose to give around $10 American, but I am still undecided on buying the discbox. Otherwise I would've given more. And, oh yeah, Radiohead rocks. And so does this idea. In this day in age its possible for any mildly successful band to do this, but no one has the cojones. Its good that bands like Radiohead can innovate like this not only in music but in their self-representation. Discbox?: Undecided CD?: Not Answered* |
