$59.99

'nuff said.

The sad part is I'll pay $59.99 for a Prince three disc set.


comments?

NPG (Big Daddy)?

$60!!!

Is this price over-inflated just to make NPGMC members feel like they were getting value for money?

I don't think casual Prince fans or curious listeners would expend $60.00 for a Live 2CD set +1 Bous CD. $19.95 or $24.95 tops would be more reasonable. With his waning popularity, I don't think he'll sell that many-- but with that price, he'll still make millions off his DEVOTED Prince fans who'll PAY FOR ANYTHING Prince-- aren't we suckers??? Pathetic, isn't it???

Chances are it will be much cheaper than that the first week. Best Buy always has big sales during the first week of release. For example, I just bought the season 6 box set of X-Files. It normally sells there between $130-140 but the I got it for $100. I predict that One Nite Alone will be $45.

$45 is still too much for 2 CDs

I paid the same price for the Crystal Ball set and it had 4 discs!!!

I paid $49.99 for the Hits/B-sides! Again it had 3 discs but it was less

Are you trying to tell me Prince is charging more for less? At least Warner Brothers gave me more for my money...

Prince what are you trying to do to your fan base?!?!?!?

$59.99 for 3 discs

$59.99 for 3 discs

I would rather wait until it arrives at my doorstep. lol. whenever that is smile.

Not sure if this is good news or bad. I guess good 4 the non members.

Hey, we can always find it in the bargain bin for much less in a couple of years, just as you can with his 3 CD Emancipation. Don't they go for under $10 on eBay???

I have one word for Prince fans (myself included)...

SUCKERS!

Can anyone say...



KAZAA!


$59.99

Prince

The X-Files, how is ole Mulder and Scully; the best show ever!

rainbowchild said:

You think that it will take years for it to get into the bargain bins? Try a couple of months (that is if your local Wrecka Stow decides to bother stocking it, anyway).

TRON said:

i think a lot of times, those first week sale prices are incentives by the record companies. as this is an independent release, i expect there's little chance of that. then again, i don't really know, so i'll shut up

Dec 17 huh?

So when are we going to get ours? At least with TRC we had a full month snubbing friends and fanily members.

I loved: "Oh, who's this?"
Response. "Prince's new cd but it's not in stores yet."
"Then how did you get a copy?"
"Oh, I'm a member of NPGMC. His website. I get all the hot stuff in advance. Oh, and remember HIGH? You'll never find that on a cd."
"Well, you're going to burn me a copy right?"
"No..." and then you turn up the tunes and well, you know.

Now, we're sitting around like a bunch of morons asking "where the hell is my cd!"

sounds a little hinky to me.

i imagine it going more like this...

"will you turn this fucking shit off?"

prince.org and it's members are responsible for all the real Paisley Newz, lol...

Thanks for the information. I still hope we get it before it goes on sale to the general public. It would make a really nice birthday gift for me!

AaronForever said:

Damn that's Xpensive!
Isn't the 3rd disc supposed to be a so-called "bonus" disc?!?
So that means that we're paying $30 bucks for each disc?
If Prince is expecting casual fans to pay that kind of money, he's going to be sorely disappointed.

well I am glad in Australia it will be a reasonable price.

you paid US$50 for Emancipation ? hahahaha

in Australia the most it ever cost was US$30

If ONA LIVE sells for US$60 in USA it will most
likely be US$30 in Australia

YAY !

suckers

Yall better go to Best Buy its first week of release.. it should be on sale and be much cheaper.. maybe 39.00.. that kindof sounds reasonable.. compared to 59.00

if it was up 2 me, It should be prices at 24.99


thats a great price for something like this.

rainbowchild said:

The good thing is Prince Made his money when he sold it to the stores, He didn't get paid for amount the public bought, he got paid from retailers, and most think he is a bad businessman.

rainbowchild said:

Thats why its 3 cds.

I hate Best Buy - can't believe they're the first 2 have a listing of this upcoming release.
Well - I've had nothing but bad experience & Terrible Service at their store - so I will NOT buy it from them.

Oh Yeah - I'm an NPGMC member - I won't HAVE 2 buy it !!

woo hoo!!!

I believe it was posted earlier that www.hmv.co.uk already has the title listed; and the release date for the UK is set Dec 2nd.

chookalana said:

hmmm Members $75.00 (Prince holds yo' money all year long)
..Non-Members $60.00
...GHINF $29.99 in the bargain bin after xmas.

*"Gotta Have it now Fans" who already been listening 2 the live versions for months now.

Listening to it now on Joe Kelly, sounds amazing. Worth the wait I think.

Just to have preferred seating I would pay the money! All the moaning going on is getting very boring.

aside from the copies that he sends out to npgmc members, i predict that this will be his poorest selling cd to date... if it were priced properly, i think he could sell quite a few copies... but no one, no one is going to pay $60 for 3 cds... no 3cd box set costs that damn much... maybe prince hasn't been in a wrecka stow for a while...

Maybe it's like a garage sale! You start off with a high price, for all the early birds who intend to buy just about anything...and lower the price a little at a time so everything eventually goes!
