CD Packaging?

Does anyone know yet if all the CD's wil be packaged in separate cases,but wrapped all together? I am trying to figure out shipping costs for a few people out of the USA that I will be getting the CD's for,and I don't know how to figure out the weight without knowing how they are packaged. Target is showing a
Estimated Ship Weight: 0.22 pound. I think they meant to put 22 oz,cause for 3 CD's to 22 pounds is just lol

Amazon.uk calls it a [Box Set]. But I think it will be an ultra light, almost flat, tri-fold cardboard sleeve. It will most likely weigh less than a CD in a jewel-case.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

that's what i'm anticipating as well. nod

it's also been reported that the liner notes will be made available online, so i wouldn't be looking for any extra goodies to bulk up the packaging. sadly. sigh

I call bullshit. You've clearly just printed off the album images and put them in jewelcases.

Sorry..

Couldn't resist it.. biggrin

I agree with everyone else, going by everything we've had the last few years it'll probably be lightweight, cardboard sleeve to keep his costs down.

So which Cd do you think I could use to determine the weight? I would really like to be able to just ship them out the next day.

Get 3 CDs, a padded media envelope and the empty packaging for Planet Earth or 3121 - and weigh them all together.

That's the million dollar question because I was doing something else and missed it. All they can tell me is that it has pictures of all of them n Prince in a red suit.

No link posted on the site yet but I am sure in the next day or two, u will see what it looks like.

I just saw that, yes, the package looks like a fold out digipack all with purple background.

i suspect the individual "album covers" will fold out to be one big illustration.
