Has any one else got a message from Amazon.com saying
the Prince book has been delayed?
They have sent me 2 notices about this and want me to "ok" the
wait ???

just wondering if anyone else is seeing this???

They sent me a email saying the price is going up from $31.50 to $36.50, so I canceled my pre-order. It's just the principle you know, I'm tired of the bullshit and the books not even out yet.

yeah i got the same email. my delivery time has been delayed to october 10th or something. my price has stayed the same. sorry dayclear

I just got the same email. I approved the first one, now this one is being pushed back to 10-10 thru 10-14. I hope at least he's adding something to it.

I didn't get a price increase notice,just a later shipping date.I'll just b ecstatic when and if I get it! It'z gone from early September 2 late September.

Wow, it's a good thing that I clicked on this thread, because I didn't get an email from Amazon, asking me to okay the later shipping date. Luckily, I was able to go into my Amazon account and click on the okay button there. Whew! I would hate not to get this, because I do still want it.

You know, that's interesting, because my price still says $31.50, even after I aproved the later shipping date.

That would be cool! Maybe another CD? Probably will not happen, but it's okay to dream.

Dayclear said:

That's weird, because I ordered from Amazon.co.uk and they specifically said their policy was to sell it to you at either the price listed when you pre-ordered, or if the price goes down before release they'll reduce it to that. But if it goes up, they can't make you pay any more than the original list price.

Yes I receive a mail with a new delivery estimate
01 - Prince (Author) "21 Nights" [Hardcover] Estimated arrival date: 10/20/2008 - 10/30/2008

I approved it

My order details haven't changed and amazon.CO.UK still lists the release date as 9 Sept 2008. My order says delivery estimate sept 4th -sept 10th.

So maybe the UK release is earlier.

Glad I POSTED this thread..

Orionforever said:

Yes, thank you, I appreciate it! If I had not seen this thread, I would not have known about the later shipping date.

Dam ya'll what iz going on here?

Mine now says I should get it by October 16th at the latest.

I noticed there was a disclaimer that warned this product may have further delays. They should have a disclaimer that says "release date reflected by authors mood."

Luckily the price is still $31.50. I'll just have to continue to be patient.

Hahaha reflected by authors mood sooooo true!

Depending on how long you've been into the guy, you should be used to this kind of crap when dealing with him. It's really not wise to get excited about something he's involved in, let alone put up cash, until the product is available in stores.

Well, there is someone here on Earth that will throw herself over a cliff on a motorcycle, break her neck, and let him marry other people...for him...because music wasn't all that she wanted.

next thing u know it will say "this item will arrive around christmas, however the subject doesn't belive in christmas anymore so whenever it's ready 2 ship, we'll let u know"

The truth is, they probably expected more preorders. They didn't get as much, so now they're postponing the release, hoping to get more before doing the actual printing. Another royal letdown from Prince's camp.

Mine has been changed from arrival date of 9/26 to 10/3/08. As long as I receive it, it is fine with me. I expect it's possible it could change again.

No mail and no price change for me (yet)...just checked order.

Date is later though.....

viewaskew said:

what tosh!!

I SERIOUSLY doubt they want pre-orders before they print. We're not talking about some guy in a back street with an inky press needing orders before he buys in the paper stock!!!!

Its just advertising to pre-release it - all popular authors do that pretty much these days!! Its called HYPE!

as for delays - Its like anything - you pencil in a date and with best intentions that cant always happen for millions of reasons.

Its interesting amazon.o.uk havent been sent the details yet though but then they listed it first based on the earlier PR without the pics and then relisted it as another product, so it seems confusion is all around.

sort of like the whole crystal ball fiasco all over again huh?

L4OATheOriginal said:

OMG, I sooooo can see that happening.

Yes, Prince owns the publishing company that is putting out the book so he must be responsible. Jesus get a grip on reality dude does not own the publishing company and my guess is he got his advance and has no futher involvment other than promoting the book.

can i still get an order for this? anybody?

Hello? HELLO?

The american release has obviously been delayed. No one else has had any change in date. Syble has your order changed? No. Eireboy, has your order changed? No.
Rorywan has your order changed? No. And hmm all the people who are talking about delays are refering to dollars $$. What could it mean? I know the answer must be right in front of me, hmm. (sarcasm)

Viewaskew??!!!? take a break have a nice cup of coffee and a reality tablet.
