Click the newspaper. This is 100% B.S. Read the newspaper. [Edited 5/4/09 7:42am] How is this different than what we knew when we signed up?  It's different in that it pretty much spells out that Prince has delivered on the sum of his obligation at the start. That wasn't clear before, and certainly falls short of the "possibilities" his IT team relayed to a reporter before the roll-out. The upside, dear subscribers, is that with the bar moved that low, anything Prince gives you all will appear to be "extra." | |

I haven't even logged in to the site since the first week it opened.
Extremely lame site, it's such a hassle to get in that I don't even bother to go there at all and they definitely need to add some new content soon. This website is supposed to be so fancy, they should have just made it simpler in terms of all the visuals and instead supplied more product because as it stands, it's a huge disappointment and a waste of my $77. | |

Exactly NOTHING. What the hell is this? [Edited 5/3/09 9:09am]  waaa...another crybaby. as a matter of fact, most of the people on here whine and cry. Lame, freakin lame. | |

The bar hasn't moved at all, nothing was promised at the start. From your post, I was expecting to read the paper and discover it said nothing more would be forthcoming for the remainder of the year.
They do need to start updating the videos though. RIP  | |

PurpleMedley122 said: ThreadBare said:  Oh stop with the f'in whistling as if to say "You'll see..." or as if something is coming that will shock and amaze us. I trust that aside from what the newspaper says, Prince does in fact have something up his sleeve because I DO think what we have is NOT WORTH $77. He implied that there would be lots of surprises for our money. So far it's some pics that do nothing for me, videos that I already have on DVD from WB, and a tshirt that has yet to materialize. There are a couple of TV appearances that are nice to have and the Undertaker, but I've seen those before, I just don't have copies of them. Now I sort of do. Is it worth $77 though? No. I'll wait, though. The moneys gone anyway, now all I have is hope. I have taken so much shit over my life for being a hardcore fan of his, being called a faggot at school, getting snickers on the road when I am stopped at a light in the street blasting Prince in my car, even recently getting woken up with my IPOD alarm while sleeping with a girl who stayed at my house and having to hear her ask "What the fuck is this shit?" in a (sort of) joking way when my alarm blasted "F.U.N.K." at 6am. For that I expect Prince to treat his fans to some great things--we have and will put up with a lot. He is afterall in control now, he can't blame WB anymore. So I wait in joyful hope for the coming of our savior, Prince Rogers Nelson. To Prince: Bring it. I wish u heaven | |

Honestly, the whistling is about analyzing the goings-on with the latest site of our favorite musician while trying hard (most of the time) not to say we told you so. Again, I hope P does right by the subscribers but it's unlikely. | |

OperatingThetan said: My understanding is that there were no promises regarding monthly updates of content. In fact, there is nothing in the 'Agreement' text about providing any further new material at all, though naturally, one may expect that.
I think perhaps some new material may be uploaded once Prince feels the 'Lotusflow3r' set has been fully digested. there is however a line in the 'agreement' stating that we will be able to download videos from the site... | |

Ha Haaaaa, sounds like Prince did it to you guys again  . I learned my lesson. Even though most of the gripes about the site are probably legitimate, I would not be surprised if Prince reject any responsibility himself and blame the fans like he normally does buy labeling them "ungreatful" or being "negative", despite it all being true. In a way, it has already started buy folks on here saying, "he made no promises". Please, $77.00 and there hasn't been a update in a month? Yeah, uh huh. I am convinced Beyonce's career would not be where it is, if she had dark skin. | |

And...nothing.
Still takes 10 minuts to access the site once you log in.Ridiculous. Still nothing there worth much, except a handful of old videos and some medicore new ones. Still paid $77 to download what I could have purchased for $11. --Lotusflower? Turn UP the guitars next time (and leave drivel like Morning After off) --MNPLSND? Not bad. Some good stuff, but lose the dated synth. --Bria Valente? Uh. BRING BACK TAMAR. Not bitching, really. Got plenty of awesome boots that provide hours of sonic enjoyment, so throwing away $77 is the least I can do for the many years of great music. However - revolutionary site? No. Exclusive content? No. Anything worth shouting about? Not yet. Bring back the old npgmusicclub - regular inreleased gems, front row seats. That's revolutionary. "Once in a while you get shown the light
in the strangest of places if you look at it right." | |

Lotusflow3r support wrote me, after asking them:
Hi Udo, New videos are going to be added to the site very soon. I'm not allowed to say what they are, but I hope you enjoy them! Lotusflow3r.com support Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

I just hope Prince enjoys the $77 I gave to him for nothing ... pretty weird though, me giving money for free, to a millionair .... strange world ...
But he asked if we wanted a recording from A Large Room With No Light, so I expect a recording from that show pretty soon to be deliverd at my doorstep, and please no download, but an actual CD. I AM LOOKING FOR USED PRINCE CONCERT TICKETS ... https://www.facebook.com/...erttickets | |

I suppose that Prince either needs to pimp this website significantly, or there will be no point in ever setting up a web presence again as really NO ONE will subscribe anymore...  | |

The odds of him putting out another "Purple Rain" and winning over a whole new generation of teens and twenty-somethings are heavily against him. | |
