Buying a video for 7 bucks, a song for 99 cents, or an album for 10 bucks isn't a bad deal either. Don't forget. NPGMC is a business, not a not-for-profit organization. How do you think they generate revenue to keep the business running and profitable? Simple. They charge what the market will bear for their product. If $7.77 is too much for the video, then the market will let them know by not buying it. Saying that the pricing is greedy or that NPGMC is trying to sucker people is not a vaild point. If we were talking necessities it would be vaild, but we are talking about entertainment which is a luxury.

I think $5.55 for the video and high-quality audio tracks is fair. I'll buy it. The fact that I still can't legally burn the music to a CD on my Mac is what really hacks me off.

nobody is forcing you to download it. i am an avid Prince fan, but i am still undecided on whether or not i am going to download it yet. it is a question of how bad i want to see it. i just realized how much money i have spent on Prince just based on the fact that i have felt i have to buy or download everything or see as many shows as possible. most Prince fans are the same way. they just assume they have to have EVERYTHING! if it is too expensive for you, don't complain, just don't download it! nobody is forcing you to buy anything you don't want or can't afford. imagine if everybody was trying to buy every new car that came out or every pair of shoes? you don't have to. that's why i am seriously considering whether or not i should download this clip because i am trying to get out of feeling i am obligated to own everything Prince. not that i don't love him and his music, but it's gotten way out of hand. | |

Well, unfortunately  , I'm sticking to my guns on this one. And I'd like to think that it's not only because of the state of my bank account. I think it's gross to inflate the prices ten-fold due to his recent upserge in popularity, so it should make me satisfied to avoid buying this one.
But dang, I'd love to hear that audio...
That's all I want, really...how much do they think that's worth? It's all about the music, man... No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

AMEN $7.77 is a little much for 11 minutes, but I have experienced the show and would pay much more to have a personal copy of clips like this. I am glad that they made it available, I got 4th row tickets for $85 dollars, and non members got flour seats for $125.00 and up for seats behind me. So what I saved I dont' mind sharing for my own personal collection. Oh yeah, why would non members complain when they are not gonna buy it, not gonna go to the show, not gonna join the club. So why complain. How you gonna get my back when you fronting. | |
