I remember something liek this happening with the Crystal Ball shipments and several orders that I placed with 1800NEWFUNK

yeah-a bill for import tax no doubt-but i guarantee-we'll get nothing free

Actually, that is a GREAT idea.

If Prince sent a CD, or even better yet, a DVD concert, with every T-Shirt, that would make EVERY member happy, though some would still find a way 2 complain.

It would actually be the best way 2 quiet down the dissent.

I'm not saying it's likely at all, but mos' def the best idea I've heard here.

PEACE.

lol-no offence but why would he go to the cost of dvd's or even cd's when he could add it to the site for free.....he probably has no idea folk are not happy-and if he does-the look on his face lately aint concern for that .....

the last 'update' was-undertaker.....that kind of says it all. Not exactly inspiring

What, a subpoena?

I'm hoping for a moth

Some of the more adventurous business ventures have been plagued with problems in the early stages but they have always made good on them. I can remember the complaints about the cost of a bottle of water during Xenophobia. The price was cut in half in response to that. We also got a free Days of Wild CD single.

When NPGMC promised 3 new albums, it produced them as promised under the fire of criticism and disgruntled memebers.

Crystal Ball did get delivered eventually.

In the end, no one is ripped off

You cannot be serious? You're giving Prince credit for eventually handling his business after the fact that it took complaints, criticism and disgruntled members to get him to do so?

I thought the LPAB was bad but this just takes that to a whole new level! WOW!

It would be fucked up if he sent everyone a piece of candy.

i have a hard time thinking that there will be,but hey..if there is...

Brofie said:

how bout tickets.... to a show in that person's area? Granted that would be a lot of work ..but hey... he IS a hard workin man... so why not?

i got my t-shirt today and inside the box, Tina must have dropped her white towel in there by mistake while shipping boxes outta her basement with Larry

Brofie said:

There is a possibility that something extra could be included, but from a marketing strategy this would make no sense - the people (eventually) receiving the T-shirt have already signed up and parted with their cash.

Adding something extra will not encourage anyone else to join up as they will be too late to be a founding sucker... er, member...

If anything, it will likely be a copy of 1999: The New Master from old stock.

Maybe he'll redistribute all those CDs people mailed in during his highly successful "Ways of the Pharaoh: Mail in Your Bootlegs" campaign, thus fulfilling his promise of giving us vault material.

LMFAO!

We'll probably just get a copy of the watchtower.

I thought not everybody got a T-shirt? Aren't there a lot of members who signed up too late to get one? I'm supposed to be getting one, so it's great if he includes something extra with the shirt. But if I had signed up for that crapola website and didn't qualify for a T-shirt, I would be incredibly pissed if only a select few members received some limited-edition thing that I didn't.

Let's get the T-Shirt first.

I sincerely doubt it.

Awesome Purple Rain reference - not sure anyone caught that one!

I did.

I did too but knowing how that could possibly be true, I didn't want to say anything!

there better be...

majic said:

Just don't hold your breath on that!

Se7en said:

it's my favorite line in the movie!

Some are saying it would not happen due to the expense. Well that depends on how many members there are. A five quid cd for 1000 members is only the price of a very, very good bottle of wine remember. Or an exceptional bottle of balsamic vinegar.

If there is.....it's a "Secret".
I highly doubt it though.

Don't get your hopes up.




All that really happens with speculation threads is in a few days, people will be starting other threads that say:

'I Thought We Were Getting Something Extra With Our T-shirts, Where Is It?'
'Prince Promised to Suprise Us With Something Extra When Our T-shirts Showed Up, I can't Wait!'
'All I Got Was A T-Shirt, Where's The Something Extra That Prince Promised?'
'Once Again, Prince Screwed Us, Just A T-Shirt Nothing Extra!'
Or
' Y all the negettivitty? Prince is loving and gorgeous and eye'm wearing my tshirt right now '
