How much did it cost, out of interest?

what made you buy it?
(could it be my point that "packaging" makes all the difference now?)
or is it just a collectors thing? (and the "extra" stuff...obviously!)

I still haven't heard the damn thing.

I tried to download it (for free, no less) and it wouldn't work.

So obviously Radiohead have a personal vendetta against me, and I'm therefore never going to listen to them ever again.

My mate paid £4 for the download and never received it, I paid sweet FA and got it no probs. Personally I love the album. Some of the most beautiful, lush stuff they've ever done, and their best album since OK Computer in my opinion. I feel a bit bad for not paying for it now.

Well yeah, I did. I'm a walking contradiction. Could be simply cos I really love Radiohead. If it's a band that I really really love and want to support, as opposed to just listen to, then I will pay for their album, be it on CD or iTunes, however this is rare. Radiohead are one of these bands. And I do I sometimes pick up albums from the chart on a whim in Asda since they're generally under a tenner anyway.

Is the extra artwork and stuff really pretty?
I might just buy it anyway, but I'm just checking. I didn't pay anything for the download, so, I'd like to pay for this higher quality, beast of a boxset... if it's got good shit to look at. I might put it on my walls.
Are you able to put it on your walls?
