Thats exactly Reznors problem. The whole "true" fans getting ripped off thing. I don't know too much about how it all works and who pays for what, i was reading an interview he did in the papers over here and he said he payed for the packaging and all that shit. So i think thats why he was a bit shitty about the prices, because there was no real reason to pump them up. I don't know how the prices are in the US for cd's...but as said by other aussies, i also had to payed 35 dollars for my year zero album lol. Not that i care, i wanted the cd, but thats the whole situation ahh crap lol
