Concerning the proposed discount digital sales, Billboard now only counts albums that sell above a certain price point. I think it's $5. They got really annoyed when Amazon was selling the Gaga album for like .99 or whatever and then changed the rules.
This was the best method of release for U2. They likely earned more money in the long-run thanks to the amount Apple paid them and exposed millions to their music. The record labels/stores are the ones getting screwed though...no doubt in my mind that this release will end up having been "over-printed" and that there will be way more CDs and vinyl than actual demand.
