Rest of article: http://www.hitsdailydouble.com/news/newsPage.cgi?news08556 Well damn. They better hope people actually stick with that Cloud service thing.

Yeah they will just write it off as advertising costs for the cloud service. They got 450k+ to sign up for it at least to get the discount. So hopefully with email blasts to all thsoe accounts and other discounts on future songs and albums they will get those people back for repeated business.

No company would knowingly take THAT kina hit on da money where they do dat at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a lost considering how they purchased the album at full price to sell it as the same amount as they do some singles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree gurl but we not gone do this she aint that important all im saying is if I have a song on my comp right and I give it to you via online file share, what did it really cost me? Now if I paid full price to get it to begin with that's different but I highly doubt amazon did that if that were the case where is the mark up to make a profit ever?

Amazon has been trying to compete with Apple for years. They purchase the albums at full price and sell them way cheaper than iTunes so they can get more people to use their products.

Yep they do the same thing in alot of areas in their business to compete, to them the "loss" is advertising costs. They are getting mentioned in every single article about gagas first week sales. On top of getting 450k+ people to sign up for the service just to get the album. They are hoping they get repeat business and more exposure.

Unlike iTunes when your laptop crashed you can still regain the songs you purchased, you'd have to re-buy the music purchased from Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
