No hate, I'm just curious to see how many here held their breath and didn't cough up the $77...

I'll start... Me, 1

sorry, hafta go wipe off the drool, it's been 2 long without the man! lol!
sin

me too.
would still go for it even for final 6 months if content was up to it!

did

not

Not me.
I'm in no hurry to part with $77 for an album that I know I'll by the CD version of too.
I'm waiting for something exclusive on there first... or a tour!

Me either. Don't get me wrong, I adore the little hobbit,but I refuse to pay for something that should be free and open to all.BTW, do any of you think Prince even realizes we're in a recession? If he did, then that shows how insensitive he really is to the fact that not all of his admirers can afford to pony up the cash just to look at some old videos, and have our ears assaulted by the next Mrs. Nelson. I HATE when guys let a pretty girl just take over and lead them by their penises.

Thankfully Cause I Didn't have The Money To Waste

Money wasn't an issue. I just had a feeling I wouldn't be getting any value for my money given his attitude in recent years.

Funny thing is, I keep holding off buying the Lotusflower cd, thinking that I might join.

Ridonkulous.

No money down here

the website wouldn't take my money on the first day, after that it was too late to trick me into it.

Lucky enough....

Me. Wouldn't take my card on the first night, now waiting to see what content gets added.

I already paid for a "lifetime" membership to NPGMC. Shouldn't I at least get my first year of LotusFlower free???

But we won't, since the site is a money-making operation for someone with a history of ripping off fans. Oops,did I say that with my outer voice!

Waiting for a tour downunder

me.

Me - and I never will. His websites are a joke. I eventually get whatever I want without any hassles or joining his websites.

I did not....

Very easily got all the site content and more for free elsewhere.

I think Prince wants our relationship to end and this is his way of terminating it.

Shame. Was fun.

I did not bother because of how he handle things with NPGMC, if he had of just been straight up with us instead of taken our money and bailing out on us I would have felt like he was being sensible by telling us what was up.....

To date he has not made it right with the fans who paid him $25.00 and those who signed up first $100, the videos and music that was downloaded no longer works so I was not going to fall for the banana in the tail pipe this time....LOL! It seems as though everything he has posted on the site just from reading the posts here its nothing new!!!! We have pretty much seen all of the content that has been posted

I've been sensing that for quite some time now but I just don't think it's coming from Prince!! Someone, indeed wants that and is going about it by pushing us away and purposely making us dislike him, thereby forcing us to walk away from him! It's cowardly to the max and the one thing Prince has NEVER been (and he's been a lot of things to me!) in all the years that I've known of him, in spite of his small stature and feminine appearance is COWARDLY!

It just doesn't make sense! I'm labeled a Hater but I've loved Prince longer than I've loved the most important people in my life and that's my children and my husband. I sincerely wish there was something, anything I could do to fix what's wrong because I know with everything I am, that something ain't right!

Very interesting point, Jon. I've been feeling the same way lately.

'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 , 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.

Oh, but he does need and want them.
