PrintableThis feels really wrong, doesn't it? As does the timing of the thing.
I hope Prince isn't involved in a way, as thousands of people worldwide have just signed up to his website for $77 each. Do I have to say anything else?...nope, just feels wrong.lol T | |

Because I'm an idiot...that's why...  I know ...I know this makes me realize that the money tossed around for shows means absolutely nothing  and maybe if I said no I would be able to get a private party for all of us 
let me go sit on the shower floor and be burned with hot water for feeling so ungrateful on Good Friday....  Shower floor...  We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Like someone earlier said it sounds a disgusting product of materialist nonsense. Prince surely needs some extra cash.  [Edited 4/11/09 5:44am] | |

I agree with you on this. If this has any prince involvement I'd be real surprised. Mind you, if any fans have te money to throw away on this package, then let them! With the recession, this IMHO is bad taste to the extreme. So whoever is behind this, your bad. | |

It is on his official website, so it seems legit.
Right now, you can only "pre-order" or "express interest" in it. If demand is low, I highly doubt they'll produce them. I do think that there is at least enough demand in the world to sell 950 of them. |

nuvnish said: Man what a **** he is...Pardon my language. I'm so angry.. I was ready to pay up and then found out he's chose to go with leather and aligator skin. Limited edition or not, that's just not cool. What next Canadian Fur Seal lined wreckas. Seems like Prince is happy to spout on about heaven on earth and not eat anything that had parents, but then skin a gator for a book cover. Seriously not cool.Don't he remember "The animal kingdom" from Crystal Ball.Or even his lecture in Rave, whilst quoting Gandhi... "Life of a lamb" etc... Funny how he lost the sale in this instance due to ethics.
Man what happened to him? Doesn't he have anyone around him that can tell him how it is, since his divorce? Keep yo purple gator. I'm sho nuff not down with skinning an animal for anything, let alone for his latest book. Wonder how people would have felt if it was a book bound in purple tiger pelt.Money don't matter 2nite right... Hope I have jumped the gun and it turns out to be fake skin. Doubt it though
Yeah this vile little cash-in product manages to combine alligator skin, leather and don't sleep on silk: The cocoon is made of one thread of raw silk from 300 to 900 meters (1000 to 3000 feet) long. The fibers are very thin. About 2,000 to 3,000 cocoons are needed to make a pound of silk. If the animal is allowed to survive after spinning its cocoon, it will make a hole in the cocoon when it exits as a moth. This would cut the threads and ruin the silk. Instead, silkworm cocoons are thrown alive into boiling water, which kills the silkworms and also makes the cocoons easier to unravel. No member of the animal kingdom ever did a thing to him though eh... | |

Kraken Creative 1 Generator Hall Electric Wharf Coventry, West Midlands CV1 4JL GB Domain name: PRINCEOPUS.COM ?? 950 copies? Looks elitist to me. ipod to go with it? what about other media to distribute? I bet he earns more if every momeber of the lf site pays $1 or similar for each track in there. Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

that shows little or no "exclusive" content, and is already promoting this Opus product with a 40 minute film of the 21 nights tour that is labeled "exclusive and won't be available anywhere else". you'll have to shell out $ 2100,- though, lol.
only prince people. only prince. it's those damn purple diamonds that are costing out the wa-zu. haha Hmmm. $1995000 for old content. (950 times $2100) Then minus UKP 21000. Equals about $30,780.73at this time. Means about $1.9M for P... Not bad. Smart. But not good marketing. Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill...

[Edited 4/10/09 15:21pm] Sarcasm? 'exclusive content' 40 minutes for 21 nights!? Compare that to 51 hours.  Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

I really am not feeling good about this extravagant luxury item. WTF?? Why would he endorse a product that's created with alligator skin when he's supposed to be so pro animal rights???  And why would this come out now? This should have been available when he first had the 21 nights book for sale even though I wouldn't have bought it anyway, but at least it would make sense.
It just seems so tacky at a time when so many people are struggling in this nation to try to entice his fans to spend that kind of money to get an official 40 minute show of him during the 21 nights concert...and on an i-pod at that! I would at least want a DVD version of the show so I can see him on my TV in high quality for that price!! follow me on twitter - Lovenharmony1 aka @DAPfan2c | |

oh wait then the CHANCE of going 2 his house .. fuck going 2 the house, get yo ass out on the road and promote LOTUSFLOW3R/MPLSOUND instead of some nostalgia shit man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

You ONLY get that if you win the auction to buy the book AND the diamond studded Symbol pendant! Not for coughing up $2100.00 for the iPod! If and ONLY if ALL 950 iPods are sold...the suckers...err...customers get the chance to win a 21,000 UK cheque to be awarded in London. Which begs the question...what if someone outside of the UK wins OR is this even open to residents outside of the UK? Just trying to keep things in proper perspective here.

[Edited 4/11/09 11:43am] That's right Hatey, I hope some of these suckerz read properly before giving up the cash thinking they are getting alligator skin book with diamond crusted pendant, invite to his house, ipod, 21000 pounds, and private concert for 2100
To quote myself from another thread: The alligator skin is only for the number one edition Prince opus also has the diamond encrusted symbol on the cover, the one that will be on auction at Sotheby's and the auction winner will get a an intimate setting concert. So this item at auction should go for crazy $$$
The other Prince Opus are leather hand bound book with velvet covercase, not aligator skin. Comes with ipod loaded with songs and a short video. 950 units will be sold. After 950 units sold there will be a drawing of the limited edition number and the lucky winner will receive 21000 pounds. | |

I very rarely post, but this is soooo extravagant & bad timed. What when hundreds of fans have paid $77 to join a fan site which has delivered not much in exclusive content & we have to shell out $2100 to get a chain I'd be too embarrased to be seen wearing and a book I already got for £15 plus a chance to see a 40 minute video on an ipod! not a hater for those who can afford or will borrow to buy this, but i just don't have that $$ for P. Times are tough and he's a millionaire several times over already. I'm out of this & very disappointed in prince this time round. | |

But you don't have to shell out for it, do you? You have a choice. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |
