This is the first solution I hit upon: show the user the pricing of each option and see what happens.

I wonder what creative solution Apple will come up with. Bah, it won't be creative, it'll be:

* An app will not charge consumers more to purchase content in-app then they would in other locations.

Amazon responds. Buy directly from Amazon.com and receive a 30% credit towards your next Amazon purchase!

And Apple does not allow fractional prices.
