The reason I disagree with the above statement because with the ebay value of the disc. I think people who signed up late might have a legitimate gripe.

You realize that random people who signed up for year 2 were mailed "Rave In2..." and most of us were not, so I think you might be getting a lot of peoples hopes up (through no fault of your own) and making them angry when the package does not include another copy of "ONA".

lovemachine said:

Well I just read another thread and they threw "ONA" into her box as well so I guess I just might be full of shit. What do I know?

lovemachine said:

That's cool, lovemachine...another person just got it and posted the same.

If anyone wants to get upset at me for posting this...I'm sorry, I did it for those who asked me to.

lovemachine said:

See, that's the thing. If it wasn't sealed in the box, I wouldn't have even mentioned it...in case it was something special. But since it was, I included it...I'm sorry if I made it sound any different than that.

daPrettyman said:

So folks who signed up from jump street get screwed with another disc of the same thing?..that's not cool...but now i gues we shoudnt have even expected anything extra anyways. Like maybe Xenophobia

Are you the person who is bitter because your name isn't in it?

If so I would have been pissed if my name was in it which is why he couldn't have done it.

Just a silly question, but where is the scan of the box? I don't see it and I have reloaded the page twice. Was the photo deleted from this thread?

Thanks.

TongueBox said:

It was a picture taken with a digital camera of the box, and it's contents...I think it is about halfway down the posts.

LaVisHh said:

It's not showing up anymore. Perhaps Yahoo (as that is where it looks like you are hosting the picture) might have limits as to how many times a picture can be viewed.

Well its reported that only first name s are printed so it isnt that bad anynore..it sounded as if folks got their whole name printed at first...but thats stil a semi sore spot..I gues ONA is a bonus but damn...guess he has to get rid of all those extras just sittin there eh?

BTW Lav thanks for posting this info on ONA for us!

Man, I also live in MN, hope I get mine before the holiday so I can get my jam on...
Thanks Lav for the info, but also not telling all!

LaVisHh said:

yeah but you still going to have people complaining that some got 4 cds of music while others got 5 cds of music for the same $100.

mhm mhm mhm

It would be nice if I could get this by Wednesday before I get on the road to travel home. It'd be great to drive to.

But of course, UPS will probably attempt to deliver it on Friday and Saturday while I'm out of town and then send it back.

hey lav...
if you don't mind me asking, what letter does your last name start with? just curious if they are going out alphabetically...
p.s. i hope not, 'cause mine is 'v'...
p.s.s. also, thanks for sharing...

Aaaagh, doesn't work!

Not sure why I am trying to be Prince's customer service department but, I think it was an easy way of making sure that they did not miss anyone who may not have gotten the ONA CD, and figured it didn't hurt anyone to have another copy, that perhaps they could give away.[/quote]

No way, thats no excuse. There is no way we should get the same CD twice. If ppl didn't get it the first time(hello? Tracking number), the NPGMC should send it to them individually and I'm sure they did or the ppl that didn't get it would email NPGMC back. UPS tracks every single package they send out, unlike USPS(you have to pay extra for a tracking number). Which is why they probably use UPS, probably because when Rave In2 the Joy Fantastic was sent to members, ppl could of(and most likely did) email NPGMC and say they never got it. Since you cant track BULK shipped packages, NPGMC probably had to send out a bunch of replacements.

I would have been happy if we got Xenophobia(the album), Last December or even The Best Of (maybe have some unreleased tracks) with the ONA box set, but to get the same thing we got earlier this year is completely ridiculous.

I know he's done it before with the Hit N Run singles(download first, then sold them on CD during tour) and Horny Pony and Thieves In The Temple(ext. mix) as the downloads. But this time, he is deliberately sending us duplicates. This is why I was against Prince pressing CDs, because he presses too many thinking he will get a ton of orders, but he doesn't so what does it do?(Crystal Ball flashback) sell the extras to retail stores. This time, he is just getting rid of them by giving them to members... AGAIN! His way of MAKING us support his damn site. Prince:
Oh, you already have ONA? Then give it to a friend and tell them where you got it. F*CK THAT!!! The minute I get my package with the EXTRA ONA CD, I'm putting that sucker on Ebay and making back what I gave that Purple Money-Hungry Sex Dwarf!

The guy has become his worst enemy, Warner Bros. He's turned us into SLAVES. We buy whatever he puts out, no matter what. We take his table scraps, when he could be giving us a banquet. Prince says there are 1000 songs ready to be released...which we'll NEVER see. He abuses our good intentions and $$$ by screwing us any chance he gets. First he hints at giving us something cool, then he changes his mind. He says "4 brand new CDs", we think COOL 4 new albums in a year time, and he gives us 2 albums for $100!! That's just ridiculous! He complained about WB not letting him release more than one album a year, yet we are lucky if we even get ONE a year.

We bitch, and what does Prince say? PEARLS BEFORE THE SWINE.
Those that complain are consider ungrateful naysayers, those that don't are consider blind-asskiskers. Even Prince fans are divided!!

Ppl say "well, if you're not happy..just stop supporting Prince". While, Prince loses fans everytime he does this, he still has many more. Now, I like his music as much as any Prince freak out here, but his tyranny has to stop. Its time for not one person, not two, but everyone stop supporting him. He'll take notice when our voices are united as one. Impossible huh? Because he laces his damn music with cocaine! We are all too addicted to his music, so we take his abuse and continue to give him our support. Being a Prince fan sucks!

I know all of you think I'm just ranting. Take it for what it's worth. I'm just a frustrated fan that loves Prince's music, but hates how Prince treats his fans. And I've been a big supporter of the NPGMC since it first started and now I regret ever signing up. Oh well, thanks for reading.

I don't understand this. Why bitch so much about getting the CD ones more? A friend of mine loves the CD and will be very happy that I can give the original CD to him.

The year isn't over yet.

I said that too, once. Well, we got ONA(the piano album) in what May/June right? It took 4-5 just to get that, and now we are getting ONA Live Box set 6-7 months after we got the ONA CD. I REALLY doubt Prince can or will pull a rabbit out of his hat and give us another CD in a month or two's time. I think we MIGHT get one or two downloads so we get something "extra", but not another album.

Rudedog

Get a life, If there were no extra Cds you would be happy...but by getting an extra copy of one you already have you think that's worse???

calldapplwondery83 said:

Trouble is, I'm not sure this is a little extra. Everyone who has received this set so far has already got ONA right? So they just received one extra with the live set. I doubt that I, who hasn't already got ONA, will get two copies in with my live set. That would mean an inequality among members. Chances are they probably fucked up their records and couldn't work out who had already received ONA and just threw in all the extra copies they had lying around because of the low membership sign-up just to make sure.

We'll see.

I know I would really like an extra ONA to give to a friend.

calldapplwondery83 said:

That's what CDrs are for. Your friend likes it, you can copy it for him. If he wants an original, he can do what we all did and get it through the NPGMC. When you go to Tower Records, you don't get TWO of the same CDs do you? If you do, you're crazy. Unless you're getting an extra one as a gift. But at that time, you had a choice whether to get one or two of the CDs. Here, Prince is forcing us to take two copies of the same album. That's just not right. I don't see how anyone can prove otherwise. But try me!

NPG2000 said:

Whats the point of having two of the same CD? I got this membership for me, not my friend. Besides, I only have one other friend that likes Prince and they already have ONA. I doubt you go into stores and buy two stereos or big screen T.V.s for a one bedroom apartment. Why get two of the same CDs with the same tracks for yourself then?

One CD is cool, but now I'm getting a coaster for my room. Wow! Thanks Prince!

You must have two refridgerators in your kitchen. Or two showers in your apartment. Or two single beds in your bachelor pad Or two doorknobs for each door, right? How about two scales to weigh yourself in case one isn't completely exact? Two PS2 systems for your two imaginary girlfriends? Or two copies of Lord of The Rings 4DVD set for your two DVD players. Two keyboards for your one computer? Or two cable modems for your one computer? Does your lamp take two bulbs? Two sinks in your bathroom or kitchen? Two good china sets? Or maybe you have two blow up dolls in case the first sheep blow up doll explodes, right? Can I come over and raid your second fridge?

Idiots...

Rude, your a dick.

rudedog said:

Up until now you were doing fine, but each door has 2 doorknobs. One on one side, and one on the other.

Btw, do I need to buy a 2nd CD player for my 2nd ONA CD?

It's just a second CD. Chill out.
