I haven't parted with the $77/£52 as I wanted to wait....and have been dissapointed to hear whats on there!

What would it take for you to subscribe in the next couple of months?????

Me -

A couple of downloadable 80's live clips/aftershow clips
At least a CD'd worth of unreleased tracks (inc Prince version of Mutiny, would love a quality version!)

Well we will all come back and send you those flying pigs if the tracks are put up. You have no idea what P has in store for this site

First of all, Miss KnowNothing, my was in response to the original poster's question what would it take for me to subscribe in the next couple of months?

Secondly, of course I have no idea what P has in store for that site because giving forthright information just isn't one of his strong suits!

An online store with never seen concert dvds and vids for sale,
AND
a tour with presales of preferred seats for members,
PLUS
unreleased songs for sale.

77 songs new/unreleased songs in lossless or high bit-rate format. A buck a piece is fair market value. This would not include the already released Lotusflow3r tracks. Prince can pull all of the videos, photos, poetry and flashy gobbledygook off the site first if he wants. I don't give a rat-fart about that shit.

Prince should be paid for his work just like anyone, but he's not selling something that I want to purchase. He's a pretty, pretty man... but I'm not into his image as much as he obviously is.

I'd say the video section is a complete and utter joke.. Low grade videos.. and most all of them is digital dust collectors..

nothing new in that galaxy.. same ol tricks

The flying pig comment I take to mean you have no intention of joining. So you then to shut the hell up and stop bitching. No one is putting a gun to your head and forcing you to join or even comment.

laurarichardson said:

Yada yada yada..still telling everyone to shut up? Lovely.

laurarichardson said:

Awww! Such nastiness...did I hurt your little feelings?

HatrinaHaterwitz said:

That person exists on nastyness.
And then she acusses others of being negative. Ignore.

She's a

It costs $77 for a site membership where most people will already have the albums - the only reason to join. This is such a bad deal its unbelievable. So it must be. I think there must be some big surprises coming up..... maybe once Prince closes registration to any new members. That would teach us not to believe!

But seriously, to join I would want a DVD of the 3121 show's live from Vegas and at least another classic album (MPLS is so "Crystal Ball" cool i have not had time to listen to Lotus properly!).

...i'm only interrested in Cds/dvds of unreleased music & videos...so i will subscribe only for this kind of Stuff!!

No one is forcing you to comment on my thread but u did! Live and let live man!

deanhouson said:

Unless there's been a new policy implemented that I don't know about, any and everyone is welcome to post on your threads, my threads and any other threads on this site. You asked a question and I gave you my answer, you liking my answer is none of my concern. No one forced you to respond to me but you did because you could. Isn't freedom a beautiful thing?

Let's get this into perspective...

Even if there is no more new content to come, then it was £52/$77 for 3 solid albums with 3 new (streaming) videos. plus the xtra clips of videos and performances.

That's not a terrible deal as most CDs cost about £15 in the UK (that's £45) so an extra £7 for the streaming content. and the possibility of more to come?

Plus as a supportor of prince and his independent stance, you can be damn sure no agents, managers or record executives or freeloaders are getting a penny!

Nothing. Not even the vault. Only an apology. Only.....

Agreed: Based on iTunes prices $US77 will get you about 4.5 hours of music. Add up the albums and the videos and we have not been shortchanged - and have been promised more.

Also, how many of us have paid more this or more for just:

- a single album to complete our set,
- a 12" remix single,
- a tracked version of Lovesexy,
- a CD of 1999 with DMSR when we already had the LP and the original CD, or
- some other rarity

on eBay and alikewhat?

For most of the world the local US Target store is more than $US77 away.

All good points

I have been a dedicated fan of the purple one since I was 10 years old (I'm 40 now) and my awe will never die. Site or not. I haven't joined because in doing so I feel selfish (I am married and have a 3 year old son) as times are tough. I don't want to take away from my family in any way. But honestly, I would be hesitant even if I had the money, as I still feel "burned" from the last site I payed for. Yes, $25 bucks wasn't much, but still.. Once bitten...
Anyway,I'm still a dedicated and inspired fan.
Kudos to all of you that have joined though- I'm sure it's incredible!
Can't say I'm not curious.. I love the intrigue, waiting, and element of suprise that is always surrounding our purple prince..

A far better customer service track record than Prince's.

the site has just been up why not wait what comes up ?
do u want everything from the start and then nothing anymore .or u just wait and see .like me
from what i see on this site is that lots of people are dissepointed to fast or to easy .

lotusflw3r said:

Where are u buying ur cds from?! Lot of new releases are well under £10. Prince certainly deserves to get paid but your cd costings are not correct.

Maybe Prince could've considered NO subscription fee but have fans pay per dloadable file i.e. for each album, video stream etc.

that way maybe more casual fans and hardcore fans alike would have gladly parted with their money with product they actually wanted.

For those who bought new release from target what reasonably priced product have they actually bought. IMO not a lot....yet.

But, IMO, ppl will get to the site through curiosity, see the subscription cost, then decide not to bother...such a wasted opportunity IMO.
