Pricing gone crazy

Re-visiting an old post (Digital Distribution WTF !!!) , I have just come across another digital vs. physical pricing inequality. After listening to the extended cut of Prodigy’s newest album Invaders Must Die on Spotify, I thought I’d quite like a copy. So off I trundle to Amazon to find out how much it is, much to my joy, there’s the special edition version, with 2CD’s and a DVD with booklet. All this physical stuff for the grand price of £4.99. Then I scroll down another couple of lines and see the digital download of said album, which contains the contents of only the 2 CD’s (a grand total of 27 tracks) for the ridiculous price of £9.98. So for double the price of the actual physical media, I could purchase 27 digital tracks. O, and I get free delivery, so it really is double the price!. Seems like a no-brainer to me! Or alternatively, I could just get the CD and make a perfectly legal digital backup of it :¬) I think I know which option I’ll be going with. Thanks Amazon for trying to rip us off!
