Don't heat scott & Co all too much now!

Yes we all are having our problems, but just wait a little. One or two days and everything will be fine, you need to understand what an overload of people are going on to the website. I'm sure the website will turn out great, i myself cant join but lets all just be patient i mean come on were getting 2 new prince albums and lots of little extras biggrin!

this is why the site should have just opened one day in like feb or early
march for people to sign up and get everything in order.

the albums could have then been put up today or any other fixed date but
by giving the entire world and it's mama a countdown, what did they
expect to happen? did they think 2 people were gonna log on or that all
of us would form single file and sign up 1 after the other nice and
slowly, lol.

no sign up for european creditcards, at least they thought of 1 way to
keep the traffic down.

confused

lol
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

This is a site for a major recording artist who has been offline on the web for 2 years. Demand was always going to be high and heavy traffic is one thing they should have expected.

Probelms will no doubt be sorted out, but so many people having so many major problems within a few hours of opening is rather disappointing.

Still, it is Prince and the MPLSound bird plugging into the socket is hot.

Yeah, but they are designing a much-hyped site for Prince. Are you telling me that they did not anticipate the level of traffic? That's ridiculous and inexcusable. Some problems will occur with any site launch but MAJOR blunders like the:

European CC situation
IE username signup travesty
Lack of SSL encryption
Album download problems
Untagged albums
Apparently very limited number of tix to the shows

That stuff is unforgivable.

Scott & Co should know their limitations and get REAL web designers (back and front end) to handle this kind of a site. It's not all about making things look pretty, things need to work as well. They got our money tonight, they aren't waiting a couple of days to count that, so folks should not have to wait a couple of days for them to fix this stuff.

Based on what I have seen and experienced tonight, Prince has taken a step back from NPGMC. sad
