Chris Anderson wrote a book on these sort of "pricing" systems: _Free: The Future of a Radical Price_ [1].
Worth a read if you're into this idea. It includes some interesting historical examples of creative selling.
Can't say I _agree_ with the book, but glad I read it.

This does not cover the "Free" tactic that was used to make Jell-O actually penetrate the households.
That story can be read in the book "Free" by Chris Anderson: http://www.amazon.com/Free-The-Future-Radical-Price/dp/14013... (pages 7-10, available in the book preview)

Generally, computing trends toward abundance. Computers are priced about the same, but do more each generation.
