well a concert is a one of live show ....a website is a website...apples and pears...plus you know well in advance about concerts months... biggrin


prince concerts? not always.

and you may value a concert more than a web site membership, and that's all very understandable, but for people to say "i can't afford $77 for membership!!!" but at the same time be able to cough up the cash for a hit-n-run concert...that's what i'm getting at.


Maybe time will tell ....really looking at Prince to move on from the days of a closed club and spread his music out to a larger number of people but at $77 not many people / young and old will fork out that cash ....its so sad ...if the website closes more doors than it opens smile
Da, Da, Da....Emancipation....Free..don't think I ain't..! London 21 Nights...Clap your hands...you know the rest..
James Brown & Michael Jackson RIP, your music still lives with us!

But the doors didn't even open for US yet and here you are worrying about the rest of the world. Fuck them if they don't want to join. I'm going to be there, many of us are going to be there and that's what matters the most. If the rest of the world wants to be cheap, then thats on them not you or me. I can't speak for anyone else here but hopefully, I'm going to have a good time on the site.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

what if your a prince fam/fan that can't afford $77 / £54 to gain meare access to the site ....what then go to the blackmarket ...get bootlegs ...get rip of poor quality stuff of the net....

Come on Prince's people do the right thing bring down the price to the cost of a CD ... biggrin


After your MJ tickets get refunded, then you should have some extra dough. wink

So because I can't afford a Ferrari, I should go steal one instead, or expect them to price them like a Saturn, so it's in my price range?

Geezus people, it sounds like he's FINALLY giving us what we've begged for all these years and it's still not good enough for some of the whiners around here.

All I'm gonna say is this; Well Prince, it has been an incredible ride so far - but for me it seems to be over. I just can't spend $ 77 (!!!??) on a website right now... I wish everyone, including Prince, a very joyous continuing ride, though...smile

i'm just saying man, other spots in this world that i feel the man should get 2 more than nyc ...like i'm sure the folks down under would love 2 see him

They'll get their turn in time. I'll be happy when Prince goes to Austraila, China, Timbuktu or God knows where else on God's green earth but I want to see him somewhere in Manhattan. Hell if he went to Staten Island I would friggin run to the Staten Island Ferry to see his ass there. nod I just want my turn...again. lol



greedy mofo big grin
man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

Then they better save up their money like I did so that they can become a member. We've had an idea that this might be the price of membership for this website for 2 months now, so for fans here to act shocked and surprised over this is laughable & I have NO sympathy for you at all. If the price drops, then it drops but this is what it is so suck it up and pay up or don't join at all. Case closed.


Great so Prince website should be for fans/fams who only want to pay $77 dollars ...thus creating a larger blackmarket .... biggrin


Well, the people have always said if he provided official product, we'd pay for it, so now will be the time to honor that.

Nowadays, with people's unrealistic sense of entitlement, I'm sure there will be some bootlegging. But at least those of us who do want to compensate him for his work will do it without bitching.

You know, I was there day one for all of the other websites, but I think I'm going to wait this one out and see what it's all about. $77 is not a fortune, but considering the times it IS a bit steep just for a website, especially considering Prince's history with websites.

I just read an article that cut and pasted a chat with Prince and a Paisley Park employee right before the beginning of the second NPGMC year where Paisley Park discussed songs that would finally see the light of day [Moonbeam Levels, Others Here With Us, Come Outside & Play, and Witness 4 the Prosecution]. None of them did, at least to my knowledge. Not really trying to whine here, just trying to communicate that sometimes Prince doesn't really deliver on what he promises and this has been especially true for website content.

You know, I hope that the website has amazing content and then I will be eating my words on toast. But instead of racing to the site on the first day, I think I would really like to hear some reports before I put another charge on my credit card...

Where does it say that the $77.00 is for vault material? All I saw was this:

That main image, derived from the cover to the album of the same name, will be the user's portal into the online "world" of that album, complete with lyrics, artwork and new photos, in addition to the tunes. Two other "worlds," one for each of the other two Princely releases, also exist on an animated 3-D plane, in an arrangement that Clay compares to the popular game Myst.


Is there supposed to be a 4th world or something? Because access to Prince's vault material is priceless! $77.00 to play in a video game universe with Prince and his new flavor of the month is fucking laughable!
I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.

The new cover reminds me of 70's shlock covers like this:



You guys better hold onto your 77 dollars until you find out what the website is actually going to offer for a year. You never know, knowing Prince, he could let you in, but still charge you extra for downloads.

Go slow or the ripoff rain will flow.
All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

And when this site shuts down before a year has passed, y'all will be eating purple crow. lol

Seriously, it won't take a few years. It'll take me a few weeks to suss out whether or not the hype is to be believed. Like I said, we've been here before with Prince, and I'm not alone in feeling wary of his online ventures.
