Recession Fever: Lady Gaga Sells New Album for $0.99

"Monday just got a little less murky for all those Lady Gaga fans out there anxiously awaiting the arrival of her new album, Born This Way, as the disc is available for digital download on Amazon today for a mere $0.99.
Amazon has offered deep discounts like this before, but $0.99 is exceptionally cheap — especially for such a hotly anticipated album. In February, “Born This Way” was dubbed the fastest-selling single ever to grace Apple’s iTunes store worldwide.

Fans who drop $0.99 on Gaga’s disc will also score 20 GB of Cloud Drive storage from Amazon, a clear attempt on Amazon’s part to draw more people into the Cloud Player fold and a possible challenge to Google, which offers users more space on its cloud-based music offering, Google Music Beta, but no digital download store." read more - via MAshable
