Yes. I've downloaded the CDs, so there's no reason to go there to hear them.

I've seen all the videos numerous times.

I don't care about pictures.

It's been what - three weeks since anything new of note?

I know. I don't want to complain, but I think that we paid $77 for the albums and a bonus track. The videos are really not officially downloadable, but you can grab them from the cache. If they were hq m4p videos or mpg videos, I might be satisfied, but I'm not a very happy camper to have spent $77 so far. Maybe it will get better.

bonus track? What is this bonus track? eek

Yes bored. what bores me is the awful quality of some of the videos in the dome section. Blotchy AND small...for $77?...a joke. In these days of broadband and high definition streams it's unacceptable and so last decade however you dress it up. I mean spinning a wheel to choose videos (of which there are far less than it looks due to repetition) - does he think I'm 5 years old?? But I had very little expectation before hand and only joined to be able to download the new albums as I live in the UK so I'm not too bothered.

I am still laughing at the ones who paid 77 bucks for that nonsense. It wasn't no NPG Music Club with promised monthly downloads.

There's TONS of content Prince could add to Lotus (or any past version of NPGMC or 3121.com), but alas..... CHA-CHING.

For me, it's just a PAID site I log onto to TRY to get MEMBER ONLY tickets.
I'm not bored with the site, but there is nothing on there that I HAVEN'T seen before.
Say it's just a dream...
U open up ur eyes and come 2 realize
u simply imagined this
So u lean over and give her a kiss
Here on earth, here on earth,
with u it's not so bad
Here on earth, here on earth
eye don't feel so sad
Stay right here

I get bored easily, so yeah! I wasn't expecting the site to be a revolving door of new pics, videos, music and tickets anyway. None of his websites were really like that except (to an extent) the first installment of the NPGMC where we got new ahdio shows and videos every month if you were a premium member. I actually believe he's done with the whole lotusflow3r concept and is working on his next project. I feared this would happen once he didn't get the number one slot on Billboard because Dr. Funkenberry was hyping up people, stating it was close and how Prince would do a show for Bria if it did happen. At that point I felt Prince was expecting it to debut at number one. Moreover, since Dr. Funkenberry is an inside source to Princeworld and they started complaining about how something wasn't right with the numbers and how Prince should have been number one, I just knew Prince wasn't pleased with the results when it didn't happen. This was another chance to proove to the record industrty that he could make it to the top of the charts without their assitance. The last number one album he had was 3121 and he was signed with Universal Records at the time! Wendy and Lisa summed it up nicely in their latest interview of how he would react when things don't go his way. Prince is not gracious enough to take the number 2 spot without being pissed off about it, especially since he was so close. Of course this is all speculation, but it's a very believeable theory.

I just hope that he still tours with the lotusflow3r albums because it's the best albums I've heard from Prince in years! If I can get great seats for his upcoming shows from lotusflow3r.com, then I'll say it was all worthwhile, boredom and all.

"the track only available on the site" 4 The Morning After
"the track only available on the cd" 4 Crimson & Clever

but a bonus track is by definition a track besides the album!

It's boring because there is no interactivity... and of course no new content.

It's just a place for Prince to hawk his goods... he's using the 90s model of the web as a retail outlet... not the web 2.0 idea of social interaction, community building, and user-generated content. As a result the site is a bit of a dinosaur.

Well since Dr.Funkenberry is on Twitter, I guess Prince considers that as being social and interative. Hey, it's as close to Princeworld interactivity as were going to get! falloff

You know, I think the site would work better if it was laid out like 3121. Simple, precise and to the point. I'm past the point of "cool" graphics and "bells and whistles". I WANT THE CONTENT. I don't need the fancy presentation.

My sentiments are the same. Outside of presales, members only tickets and perhaps, I hope, a retail section for exclusives, what did anyone think they were paying for? Whatever video/audio is loaded on the site will be immediatley ripped to the web for free.

the wait for the orb to load and turn into a sphere is horrible. I like the graphics, but geez, it takes what seems like forever sometimes.

I agree. I like the graphics, but I don't necessarily need them.

What a mess, really.

Is he so desperate for cash to hock this mess, or is he that out of touch?

heck, just put up a housequake type uploader and let fans upload their goodies. Let the fans do all the work like in the good'ol Housequake video section days, The fams will gladly pay 77 dollar for the privilege to upload their work, which i imagine is 10 times more than what's up there now.

and that childish looney interface!

I think Prince is in tune to what he's doing. I think he doesn't want to compare this site with his previous sites. It's kind of hard to not to, though, because those websites were soo much more "cutting edge" than this particular site. I like the effects and graphics on this site, but it's nothing new for sure.

If this site does not grow and unfold, much like a flower, I'll be the 1st 2 complain.

Yeah, I'm praying (and feel that it will) blossom into more. I'm a big P supporter and I feel that he will compensate us with more for our money....eventually.

It's not just you..
I think lots of peeps are tired of his "hurry up and wait".
If one more thing comes from this 77.00 venture,I'll be satisfied.

From now on,it's physical cd's or nothing. neutral
