ONA live shipping started a little to late....

I think NPG started shipping these box sets just a little bit too late and too close to the real street date for retail which is listed as 12/11/02 even though its a wednesday. I doubt all members will have it by 12/11/02 or even 12/17. I havent received it yet and I signed up day 1 and people around me have gotten it already. Im not really complaining because Im going to buy a few as gifts for friends, so either way I will have it by then but he is leaving the door open to people complaining about being exclusive and members getting it first.

..but, as a member, you don't have to go to the store and BUY it, do you? They still have time to be in the hands of members before they get to the stores. I guess there will always be complaints about SOMETHING...

Well if those members who havent recieved their set yet, don't get it before it hits retail, how is this fair to them? Not only is the music not exclusive as implied, but they didn't get "served first" either.

The fairness will be us buying the box set in retail, and selling our NPGMC package on e-bay whenever they arrive and making a profit. Depending on how cheap you can get it in retail. I doubt that I'll get it before next Tuesday (HMV's release date in Canada) so I'll probably buy it, sell my sealed box w/ ONA Studio and maybe make a few dollars.

I guess that's the bright side...?

I've had the 12 cd bootleg set for months-


you give promises after promises, I can't even get the box before it hits retail, after paying $100


How does this make U feel, Prince?
