The profit margins on these must be ridiculous.

one of those plastic apples probably costs about £5 to produce, and you can buy a 8gb miniSD on the market for around £12 - add into that mastering costs and mass-production and we're looking at profit margins of at LEAST around £180 i reckon. ridiculous! but a great idea by the band i suppose

It costs even more than the CD boxset and looks like something you'd find in a pound shop. No thanks.
