a possibility y our cd's are so late....

I've been thinking about this possibility:

Prince was waiting 4 the tour 2 finish, so he would have all those new members (that signed up 4 the tour perks, soundcheck & afterparty) could have the cd's at the same time... Saves time and money on shipping...

what do u think???

And maybe he just wants 2 sell us the ONA live afterall, we pay 4 ONA live and he ships the others cd's with that one? so he cuts his losses on shipping? And knowing his fans, they WILL buy the live cd if offered at the retail section...

Nah, he's waiting because he's gonna replace the whole set with the Bataclan and Nighttown recordings.

Yeah, a double CD of the Bataclan Aftershow would be the BOMB. It was out of this world, especially the stuff with him on bass. Bootleg of the show? Anyone?

Ah bless! u r so forgiving. Shipping costs even for ONA can't b more than $3-4 maximum and thats absolutel max. Unless the USA opstal service is really making a lot of money?
4 x cds = $60
4 x postage = $12 - $16

that's $76 max and giving a generous price for each CD. Now if all we get is this ONALive thing and thatis supposed to count as 3 CDS then... the words Ripoff drift effortlessly across the universe.

I think he will send out all three CD's in one go (4 CD's for new members). It does make sense.

Personally I'm still hoping Xenaphobia will be one of them, if the ONA Live CD's are the other 2 (plus a bonus one) I'll be happy. I will be annoyed though if ONA Live is all we're getting !!

I think it's because he's waiting for the european leg of the tour to finish...

if the CD came out BEFORE then he figures
it will detract from the tour...meanwhile
with all the boots of the shows rampant--
it's futile.

Once again the 'leggers beat him to the punch...

We will see it in stores before we see it on our doorstep.

Well then why didn't they wait until the Japanese leg of the tour is over? Very lucrative market over there!
