Be smart Don't pay $7.77 for 11 minutes. "How embarrasing to be human!"

Because if Prince sees that not many people are ready to pay that kind of money, the next video download might just be a bit cheaper. "How embarrasing to be human!"

That's an interesting point. Though my refusal to buy an ipod until they drop the price doesn't seem to have had much effect so far. People want the latest thing NOW and are prepared to buy it whatever the cost I guess. | |

I have no problem with paying it. Even though it will be on kazaa the next day. But I'm going to support it because I want to encourage him to keep doing it. | |

Well, Musicology's success notwithstanding, iPods are still just a bit more popular than "The Question of U" video downloads.  "How embarrasing to be human!"

Is this a joke ? Seriously ? When I started reading the email I was actually in two minds about whether to buy the "clip" at $0.99. Seeing as cyberclips were free, and it is an advert for the full DVD. But $7.77. Er, excuse me, but isn't that the price you would expect a member to have to pay for the full show ?
This is totally ridiculous. And just as I was starting to tell people that Prince had sorted himself out and was giving the fans a fair deal. $7.77 for an 11 minute clip of a show that will be out in full on DVD from the stores. Fuck off. I am sick of this shit. | |

Total Rip Off.
Maybe he's learning from the Oil Companys. | |

I'm not saying that you're wrong. However, I do think it is possible to make this heard in the U Tell Us forum without saying "What do you take us all for a bunch of Purple Kool-Aid drinking idiots?"
I put up a post there, we'll see if it can last and actually get heard. | |

The price is goofy. Show them what you think of it by not buying it. I'm not real crazy about that Alicia Keys stuff in it anyhow. | |

Okay, I withdraw my previous rant as they have made the whole thing a lot better by offering it at $5 with audio thrown in.
They listen ! Oh my good lord. | |
