iTunes more than doubles Whitney Houston album price

Apple and Sony Music are being criticized after the price of one Whitney Houston album more than doubled following the singer’s tragic death.

Digital Spy first reported that the price of Houston’s 2007 Ultimate Collection skyrocketed from £3 ($4.70) to £7.99 ($12.60) within 30 minutes of her death on Saturday.

Typical. Capitalizing on someone's passing....about the lowest of the low.

Hopefully everyone boycotts I-Tunes.

Yeah, like we'll all boycott them over that. LOL

Supply and demand? Right.

By Sunday evening, the album had dropped back to its original price. Initially, ire was directed at iTunes, but it has since been reported that the price change was caused by Sony who adjusted the wholesale price of the album causing iTunes to process an automatic adjustment.

iTunes makes gillions of dollars so it doesn't need to artificially change the price of one album just to rake in a few extra bucks.

You probably believe the Warren Commission too?

You probably believe the government was in on 9/11.

Actually I was just having a bit of fun, I essentially believe the Warren Commision & that 9/11 was due to Arab terrorists. But the timing of the Sony price hike seems sinister to me.
