Would you request a refund?

If it were allowed, given what you know now would you get a refund of your $77 Lotusflow3r membership fee? The website has worked fine for me from the beginning yet the content hasn't impressed. I certainly would even at this early stage.

I agree....and for me...I have a iMac (2009 Model) and just trying to log on is a total pain...and to watch the video section is terrible. Not to mention that the downloads are incomplete (tracks) or the art work is not there!!

Like I say I've seemingly been lucky to experience no website issues bar the initial MPLSsound zip errors. All the content is there accessible and I just don't rate it.

Nope. I joined NPGMC when it was a hundred bucks not knowing what I would get. It was worth every penny. And I am sure after the glitches are worked out, this site will be worth it, too.

No. Because I, like most smart people, knew that this was a year long investment before I signed up for it.
Change it one more time..

Shit. I would have paid $77 for a copy of "Sacrifice of Victor".

If I could play it, I'd be perfectly happy.
Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it.

Prince isnt gonna make all the best stuff available on the first week , any good pay-to-view website staggers the content to keep people happy all year round , not just over the first few days . Besides if he had put up everything for download on day 1 the traffic problems which you think are bad now would have been a thousand times worse for sure .

No - because I'm a grown-up and I know how to manage my expectations.

True. And I think he's holding off on uploading any vault tracks/albums so as not to compete with the new albums.

I think everyone should just give it a little time. I knew...knew that site would be bogged down and buggy at launch....With so many trying to access it and with all the universes and so forth it will take time to get the kinks worked out.
But already I have enjoyed the videos (they play perfectly from my work PC..haha) and the fact that they have sent emails about available tickets (even though at this time they are shows I cannot go to because I live nowhere near LA) and just the little secret tricks on the site...I like that.
I think people should just chill and give it some time.

The dye has been cast though. We can see the format the website is going to use, no way can they scrap that and start over. We can guess at future content considering the lack of so called week one exclusive wonderment. Couldn't even deliver the complete albums, we got edits and tracks missing.

Add to that poor quality streaming videos most of which we will already own and seemingly not a lot else unless priority tickets emerge globally. Someone mentions Sacrifice of Victor, well thats a poor quality transfer complete with Japanese subtitles and bleeped out censoring.

No. I like the site and altough buggy, they have been working hard to fix it. So no. Its fast for me, nothing has gond wrong for me, so from my experience there are a lot of people just intent on finding something to moan about.
