I didnt either..my friend let me get in and look around..but if I did I would feel bad in a way sad I did buy the album @ Target tho.



When things start picking up in there..ill be more than happy to get my own account..but there is nothin that says I need to get it anyway...nothing like the Npgmc..I run to the org when I wake up and go to bed with it on my mind lol I can't get out.

Thats the way a $77 paying website should be.

'Nice' way of ending a relationship. (Like he doesn't want fans money any longer?)

I did not join and have not joined his websites since year 1 of the npgmc. I joined back then in september 2001 (the club was then about 6 months old) and paid my $ 100. In january 2002 they suddenly announced a new year starting in march or so. No word to the people who joined later than march 2001 on what to do or that they would get their money refunded.

After having to email them several times about it they told me they wouldn't refund me anything, but that I could join year 2 for "only" $ 60. I was like: Nice, that's $ 10 more than what I signed up for (because I got no more than half of year 1). I took it however because I didn't want the hassle of trying to get a refund, plus I was interested by the offer for year 2 (at least 4 new exclusive Prince albums - Best of prince, Last december, ONA piano and Xenophobia)

So I got a year and a half of the club not for 150 but for $ 160. Then I got the ep ONA piano in the summer of 2002 and nothing else happend for the rest of that year. Untill (after much complaing by hundreds of fans) in the end he gave us the ONA live box, with another copy of ONA piano.

Then all the Better Business Bureau shit went down. I thought he spit his fans in the face for breaching the agreement and "giving" them some digital downloads instead of CD's (Xpectations - duh! - and three soundtrack songs called C-note, what a joke!)

After that I didn't join anymore.
Just like any business that shits on its customers because they don't need them or really want them.


I understand that the JW faith does not allow idolisation - except towards the main man. So perhaps this is goodbye from Prince. He cannot be an idol no more. Not a particularly nice way to say goodbye (to what i found to be an awesome group of very interesting people from all around the planet). But heah, we are all different.

I still hope that Prince is going to surprise us beyond our wildest dreams with this Lotus flower site. After all lotus flowers take time to "flower".

By now I've learned to first see what the fuss is about, await the marketing smoke to settle before diving in. So far I haven't even been tempted to join.

Go to Play.com and look in their 'Playtrade' bit, I bought my copy from there and it cost less than £8 including postage smile

Hi Nosferatu, you got lucky. Thanks for the tip. I check Play, amazon, ebay and cdwow regularly, cheapest at the moment is £20. Still way too much. Anyone in the US or anywhere wanna send me one at a fair price? can paypal you.

I'll keep an eye out for you - if anything comes up, I'll give you a nudge smile

Not me. No way.

I've learned my lesson.

And I'm still not entirely over the whole "PFU" fiasco.

I didn't join.

I would rather buy tickets to a couple of theme parks that NEED the money. SIX FLAGS and Cedar Fair never dissed their attendees.
I may not like the man.
I may not like his music after the mid 90s.

I respect his current artistry...I just don't like him.

No hate.
