it said that i can download NEWS from MSN.
WTF!
what the hell is Prince on about? one day he's flipping the bird to the multi-nationals and the next he's promoting them.
WTF!

This may have been a last minute thing in response to some people asking for it to be made available for download too. MSN's servers and payment gateway are probabbly better than what the NPGMC's host can provide.

lord only knows what this mess is about. maybe it's a way to give people immediate gratification for their orders while whatever fucked-up shipping snafu is making its way through the NPGMC...and meanwhile, folks pay TWICE for the same album, woo hoo!

Still, if you went that route and bought the download while you're waiting for your "official" copy, it's only $17 bucks...okay, $20 after shipping costs...that's still cheaper than any album in NPGMC Retail.

Guh.

IMO If you ordered the cd just wait for it to be delivered! Save your money and head over to bestbuy and grab up some good Bowie music or go thru and listen to all the old P cds, no sense in flippin out over a cd being shipped. Or better yet this is pretty good shall I say porno music..ya'll can get together and have a sorta listening party and film it ya know what I mean while listening to the new P porn album and well you could sell copies and the proceeds could go to L4OA or better yet just give it to NPGMC so they can update there server, either way your fucked. May as well chill!!!

i received my NEWS CD last week. i live in indiana.
