Unless you want the CD for the cover art why not wait until it's released on the website? If the site costs $77.00 and the download is included in the price makes sense to wait and see.

Well if there is no shipping outside US, everyone loses. His european fanbase is one of his largest, so they (I) will be rightly pissed off and he won't make so many $. I know I will always go for a hard copy first, f*** mp3 downloads, fine for a first listen, but if it exists in other countries as a cd, i will import and then everyone loses. I pay more to someone for the copy and P gets less.
I'm confident he wouldn't be so stupid when it comes to making $. But He really should be announcing his international plans at this stage. If it is just a MP3 download he can just go jump.

Come on INTERNATIONAL fans, let your feelings be known.
You know he knows what the fans are saying.. New thread?

Back in the old days, when a release like one of Prince's was announced a few weeks, months ahead, one knew that one could just go to the local wrecka stow on the day of release and get the LP/CD.
Of course times have changed.
Music has become a throwaway item.

What use do mp3's have? I want a storage medium and CD-r's are no good.
A booklet (even a tiny one) would help as well.

So just make it that I can order that CD in Europe.
And TELL ME so.
Because this half announcement 'you can get it at target' is a big failure.
I think we can assume that mr P knows that the world is bigger than just the USA. So why would his things go this way?
Let's wait for a good explanation.

Alyone with a E-bay account would be able to by the cds, and sell them with a little proffit there (imagine the amount of europe fans).... perhaps Prince and co would wake up, and give us info and more access then... But again, we might be surprised smile

They would call them something like what 'scalpers' are for tickets.
I.e.: not so nice.

let's just hold on and see what happens. it's still a few weeks off yet, nobody can get a copy no matter where we live. let's wait until it's closer to the release date to air our grievances!

Amen!, at last some sense. What the hell is it with some fans on here?.

1 paragraph:

it looks like target is partnering with amazon.com on mail orders, and if that's the case, then the service is going to be VASTLY superior to what people experienced with the crystal ball fiasco. even if target has its own online ordering service, i'm willing to bet we're dealing with something way more polished than 1-800-NEWFUNK. lol



yes, except you have not taken into account that Prince is the source for the music, and he still has to deliver it to them lol

Ok, so let me get this straight. $11.98 for ALL 3 CDs? Not each one, on it's own for $11.98? There isn't going to be some "deluxe edition" thing coming out right after this - is there? I hate buying a new release and then a few months later, find there is an import or expanded version that's better.

Good chance no.

and since he is releasing a project as part of an arrangement with another company, i am sure it will be fine. if he were doing this completely independently, with nobody to answer to if he felt like mucking it all up, then i'd be a little hesitant. even if he mucks it up with target, since they're partnered with amazon it would be really easy to get a full refund ASAP. their customer service is superb.


omg, i completely disagree. i ordered some books from them for a xmas gift; due to an administrative error on their end, they did not charge my debit card and instead of contacting me, they immediately referred it to a collection agency (which was a first for me, i don't miss payments) who harassed me non-stop for 2 months, even after i returned the items to amazon because i was so annoyed. when i called amazon to tell them to tell the collection agency that i owed no money they refused. i hate amazon and will never, ever order from them again.

(and they also insist on charging sales tax to non-exempt organizations and then the organization has to request refunds--when they shouldn't even being taxed in the first place.)

hate.the.amazon.com hmph!
