Has anyone else got this yet? Got mine in the post Saturday.

£7.49 from HMV online. incl P+P for free.

Couldn't find it in the shop though?

Yes I got my D & P dvd and the Ultimate cd. Went to HMV and bought them on the day they came out

Yep-found them both at Best Buy-the cd was 11.99 and the dvd was 14.99!

Yep got mine.....the live "Willing and Able" is great to have on dvd.

i got the dvd.....a little disappointed too. i was really hoping for a full live version of 'Thunder'...u only get like 10 seconds of it though.
overall its nice to have for the full-version videos,,,not overly impressed though.

I got mine the day it came out at Barnes& Noble

Though I coulda saved 4 dollars if I had been patient and gone
to Walmart

Just order it from www.deepdiscountdvd.com for $9.98 including postage.

They also have -
GRAFFITI BRIDGE: $8.04
UNDER THE CHERRY MOON: $8.11
THE PRINCE-HITS COLLECTION: $9.00

I was SO let down by the "Thunder performance"!
Thats one of my favorite songs and I was hoping for more than
that tease! I kinda wish they had just left it off

Other than that and Tony M.'s little video, I loved it

I know, would it have killed Prince to put full performances of Thunder and the other songs on there?

got mine yesterday...walked into hmv just because they were playing purple rain and as i always do i look through the prince cds and dvds even though i know i have everything..but there it was .....screaming out at m like a gucci handbag!

got mine...

still haven't opened it...

I've seen 'em all already.

Mine arrived from Amazon UK in the post yesterday - I can't believe Warner's didn't even bother to convert it from NTSC to PAL!! - my laptop can't play it, and my TV always shows a feint blue line along the top of the screen when playing NTSC titles. Oi! Warners!! In Europe, we use PAL!!! (mostly). Lazy gits!

Anyway, I'm hoping the trend of releasing his VHS material will continue - My Live in Syracuse double VHS is in serious need of retirement!

Got mine at Best Buy...i think i payed $14.99

It's still nowhere to be found in Ireland. Virgin don't have a single Prince DVD title in their music DVD section, just buckets of Elvis.

mate the majority of the world is PAL, only America and Japan are NTSC, i dont understand y they dont change 2 PAL, cause then everything would b universal! But nooooo America just has 2 b difficult!
A very good example of this is the PS3 which is due to come out in NTSC regions.....again only Japan & America in like a month or 2, but the rest of the world gets screwed over cause we r in PAL and have 2 wait til March next year! Isnt that nice for us PAL people!

I don't think the reason for the PS3 delay in Europe is Pal conversion. They simply fell behind manufacturing the new components, so they decided to concentrate their efforts supplying America and Japan for Christmas, 2 markets which are easier to supply than Europe where there are lots of different outlets, languages, and varying legal issues to deal with for each country.

I agree with you on Pal though. NTSC has a more accurate sound speed, but the pictures are lower quality than Pal. Really need a global format which combines the two.

This is actually the first time I've seen a UK/European zone 2 release on general availability which is actually in NTSC and not PAL. Considering how easy it is to convert, I'm pretty disappointed and hope it doesn't become a trend because I agree that PAL has the better picture quality. Sound accuracy is very minimal, I think it's just a few percent difference in the speed which doesn't really effect the overall experience. Until I knew about that i was trying to figure out what the hell the extra 4 minutes were between the PAL and NTSC versions of Purple Rain! - drove me mad for a while!! [some say I never quite recovered...and I still have both versions just in case!]

I wish they would release on dvd EVERY SINGLE music video Prince ever made!!!

I got mine!!!! (I already had it on VHS tho)
