The Future of Digital Distribution

I think this is brilliant, and have loved music involving both Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse in the past... but I don't think I'm ready for a $50 album. My mind might change though... after all, in my mind the main problem I have with CDs is that they're ugly and plastic, whereas mp3s are invisible and vinyl is lovely. But this whole 'awesome photo book with download' thing is pretty excellent.
