Genesia said: phunkymunky said: $77 a year? What happened to the whole lifetime membership thing (or was that just a rumour leftover from the NPGMC)?
For the 7,777,777th time...it was the lifetime of the club - not your lifetime.  Well obviously, but relaunching what is essentially exactly the same proposition a couple of years later, giving it a different name and then expecting people to pay for it all over again (this time on an annual basis) is a bit cheeky. That's all I'm saying... |

I'm pretty sure THAT does not represent the quality of video when the site opens.  right, I understand that it's a teaser, but some folx can watch that clearly with no choppiness....so I'm concerned that something isn't right on my end of things... No it's not just you... the site's performance (like that of other video-intensive sites) depends on your video card processor, etc. It plays well on my newer computer, but not on the old one. That's why for me, the video thing is not a plus unless it's downloadable and burnable to DVD (I'd be willing to pay for downloadable / dvd quality video on a per download basis, too. Streaming video (like a Prince youtube channel) is not that much of a plus to me.

What happens in another year or so when he comes up with some other concept and ditches Lotusflow3r? How likely is he to have some other album, but still utilize the Lotusflow3r.com website? Not likely. Then will there be another album-related website with another fee?
And in response to someone a few pages back who said people are acting like $77 is a lot. Well, when you are talking about the price to view a web site to listen to/watch music then, yes it is. Not everyone is single, childless, has a great job, able to save money, live in a cheap apartment. Some people have bills and kids and still would like to get in on the hype, but can't afford it. | |

I think that the $77 is worth getting good seats to concerts. That's actually a bargain compared to what you would pay through scalpers if the shows sell-out or if you can't get good seats. The other stuff not so much of a deal unless there are extra tracks to the albums that are coming out offered in the first week. | |

I sympathize with what you are saying however, it goes the same for anything that any one of us wants. I want MANY things and would love to be in on them...But cannot afford them. It is just life, ya know? I do not mean for that to sound cruel or heartless in any way. I personally work a full-time job, a part-time job, AND go to school (will have my BS/BA in May). I work that hard to have more things that I want in life. Of course my hopes are that after this degree in May I will find ONE job making the money I am making with two... Anyway.... Point is, we all want things that we just cannot have. It sucks...and I wish you could join in on the fun... I still feel it is a fair price. -you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude! | |

KeithyT said: Rorywan, rather than being unhappy I'm philosophic about it. I've never taken anything Prince has done personally. He makes his business choices and I've always had the choice to go with it or opt out.
That's one of the smartest things I've read in here in a while.  I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

matt said: Anxiety said: even if the extras are crap, if i can save on ticketmaster fees as much as i did on his last site, then the membership will pay for itself.
Agreed. Also, if he's setting aside the best seats for members-only presales, I think there's a lot of value in being able to get them without paying a scalper or spending a night waiting in line. And again- Hell Ya!!  "This is where the Purple Party People be!" | |

BigDaddyHQ said: HatrinaHaterwitz said: Because if your favorite musician doesn't act like an un-appreciative self serving azz, then I'm just sure he'll have a forum section on HIS site for y'all to post in giving us back our beloved Org that we've been on for years, to post on freely and say what we want, without it hurting your delicate sensibilities. [Edited 3/16/09 20:25pm] Get your facts straight.. I've been a member of the Org for most of this decade. I got a new user name last year so that my peeps would know who I was... where ever I went. I never liked his official forums... and that other site which closed down.... ughhh. The fact I hadn't posted often over the years means nothing except I have a life out side of Prince. Do you...? I'm a very strong advocate for free speach. Whether I agree with what a person says or not. In fact, I've done my fair share of complaining about how Prince does things. I simply choose my battles and tend to only speak on things of real importance to me. Read a few of my blogs and you may learn a thing or two about my views on how Prince does things, So don't confuse me with one of your so called 'purple kool aid' drinkers... because I'm not one. TBut I'll tell you, the only people worse than the ones who faint every time Prince bats an eyebrow... are the ones who are stuck in bitch mode. Constantly bitching, moaning and whining about everything he does will get on anyone's nerves. If he does so much wrong... why even bother to say anything... just tune him out shut up and go. Are you people ever happy...? Are you part of some masochistic cult..? Is your life so miserable that your only joy is pissing in some one else's kool aid and making them just as sour and miserable as you...? My broke azz is going to pay the $77.00... and I so hope something extra does pop up in the first week for those who do pay. But ..wait... then yall will bitch about that. Damn... I don't see any way of getting away from the bitching. Its a bitch or bitch some more situation. 
[Edited 3/17/09 1:51am] CHILL Big Daddy! U gonna have a stroke!!  "This is where the Purple Party People be!" | |

Not everyone is single, childless, has a great job, able to save money, live in a cheap apartment. Some people have bills and kids and still would like to get in on the hype, but can't afford it. I totally understand what your saying I have 3 kids ages 13, 10, and 8, which they all participate in expensive sports all year round. I can't afford my daughter sport activity, but somehow I manage. With all the chaos and the economy I know that I will join the lotusflow3r website because there maybe more to what your going to get, which may not be stated as of yet. Dunno how, but I'm going to give it a try because I deserve this for myself. Hell, I work 2 jobs and sometimes still can't understand why I can't pay my bills. When you think your on your way out a dark tunnel...DAM... there's another freaking bill waiting by the door! As far as living in apt. verse a house morgage it's still expensive. I know people who pay just about what I pay on my morgage and they live in an apartment. So, good luck to you and I hope you will somehow be able to join the experience. Please don't think your the only one broke!!! Were all in the same boat one way or another. | |

calldapplwondery83 said: What is "exclusive imagery from past albums"?
He can keep his photoshopped pictures to himself, as far as I'm concerned. "...as well as exclusive content that will only be available in the first week of the site launch and may never become available again." That's just great. That's just marketing.

BigDaddyHQ said: Sdldawn said: okay.. i'm gonna go ahead and say that is the most ridiculous example i have ever heard. Why because it's true...? So you know everything you're getting before you pay for a concert...? Hell you're better than me. Heck 2 hrs... 3 hrs... heck if I know. Am I gonna hear my fav song... or a medley of hits... or something totally new...? i mean...'psst' I guess I just foolishly toss my $77 to the wind not knowing crap like everyone else ..huh,,,? well no, but if you pay to see prince live in concert you can expect, within reason, that he will be on stage, performing his songs and that he won't just show up cook pasta onstage for an hour. and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

Rorywan said: npggirl77 said: Totally agree on this point! Yeah but if the plumber charges you 4 times the correct amount to fix your leak, is it ok? If the pipes break after a year, with a lifetime guarantee, will you pay him again to come back again and fix the pipes? well, will ya?...hmmm? There is a reason why plumbers quote you prices before they do the work. If you were dumb enough to pay 4x the amount the work was worth because you didn't get a second estimate.... whose fault is that... your's or the (laughing at you) plumber? But of course, just because you got a lifetime guarantee on 'the particular work done' does not mean you get a freebie if another pipe breaks. You pay again. | |

BigDaddyHQ said: I said it in another thread... $77 is less than $6.50 a month...
I don't think its too bad of an investment in order to belong to my favorite musicians website and actually encourage him to do 'more' for his fans by properly and legally supporting his efforts... instead of non stop bitching and whining... and acting like an un-appreciative self serving azz as some of hisd do called fans do. (I will never understand why do they still bother.. why are they here) [Edited 3/16/09 19:51pm] I like how you persist in complaining about complainers. Woulda thought you'd be used to some of it now. Maybe some day huh. "this especially prepared potato is called pomme de terre" | |
