Radiohead says pay what you want

Radiohead's 7th studio album, In Rainbows goes on sale October 10. Until December, it will be available only as a download and only from their own Web site--no iTunes, etc. The real catch so to speak is the price--you get to pay whatever you want. That's right. Name your price. I don't know if there's a lower (or upper) limit, but the Web site would appear to accept anything. One thing to be careful of is that it's in British pounds, so if you enter in 10, thinking you're paying $10, you're actually paying $20.44. I think a fair price would be $10, which is what I'd probably pay were it offered on iTunes. That converts to £4.89 as of today's exchange rate.
