True Cost of LotusFlower

3 triple cd pack £28.95 at HMV
Greatest Hits DVD £12.98 at Amazon
The Undertaker £10.00 i paid years ago
Sacrifice of Victor £10.00 i paid years ago

So it would have been the same price to buy all this stuff seperately. But sadly, i already had prior to joining (as most fans)

So the only extra i am getting for my membership are the TV clips
What are we going to get for our money?

Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews.

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

It's fucking hilarious!

It just shows how much effort or lack there of, I should say, really went into this endeavor! disbelief

With all the money he's got to have the very best of everything...when it comes to his website...Prince buys off the shelf! spit
I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.

I'm disappointed by the lack of updates but it's still way too early to say, we got screwed. It's a years membership.

Although very little is happening, I'd rather see something appear now and again, than have $77 worth there on day 1 with absolutely nothing to look forward to for the rest of the year. Anything could still happen.

In another 9 months, maybe we'll have a case for starting to say we got screwed but at the moment it's all a bit overly dramatic. rolleyes
RIP sad

By your numbers, a few days ago the cost would have been, £51.93. The Undertaker upped the 'true' cost by £10 in one hit. Who knows what might be added to the 'true' cost by the end of the year?
Maybe not a lot, maybe lots, maybe just enough.

If you feel u got "screwed" then say..."I got screwed!!" Don't say We got screwed. Don't include me in that sentence. I have patience and Faith in Brother Prince. I am sure much more is coming from the site. And like stated before there are 9 more months left to go. chill pill

technically, they aren't getting any video from the site.. only watching it for a period of time.. then it's gone.


and i'll be honest.. those bitrate/quality of them are poor

i think it's a bit early to say we got screwed. i'm offended by the
lack of interest prince himself seems to show in it, i have to admit.

but it's only been up and running a good 2 months now, isn't it?
i know it feels like an eternity but it can't be longer than that,
can it?

anyway. i'm expecting stuff to turn up later this year. but i don't
expect there to be anything new coming our way for free.

probably they will sell some new music. but those 77 dollars are, as
far as i gather it from the proceedings up until now, burnt up. they
don't seem to think they owe us anything. i think it's best if we
just let it go at this point and wait until march 2010.
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps
