Price of Bride of Peladon on CD from Amazon: 9.89
Price of Bride of Peladon for download: 12.99

Hmmm, not a very well thought through business model.

Companies like Audible charge you almost as much as the actual book - despite the fact that they only have to acquire one copy, which can then be copied by their customers.

Unless producing the physical CD and cover book only costs £2 then I can't see how Big Finish can justify that price. I'll probably still buy them though. It would make more sense to get the CD, but downloading is just that bit quicker and easier.
