Yes!!! So, the site opens ont he 24th? Awesome!
Wonder if he will have the albums available for download on that day also? I might have overlooked something while reading.
I am very excited for us and for him. I think this will be a mind-blowing experience.
For those that do not like the artwork, so sorry. I think it is nice.

I've just realised what it reminds me of, the old Lucasarts "point and click adventure" games of yesteryear. I have a soft spot for that type of narrative driven computer game, but when it comes to efficient UI navigation on a website, I'd really prefer to avoid having to pixel-scrub with the mouse trying to find what gaudy bit of the image is clickable and what isn't.


LOL! Nice comparison, I love those games as well!

i liked the 'come' album cover and the '3121' album cover wasn't bad, either. neither were incredibly ambitious works of art, but they were nice enough to look at. shrug

approx £54 GBP at current exchange rates. It's not mega-cheap but not completely astronomic either. Hmmm potential access to otherwise unavailable music and video... I'm ready for the question Noel...


It's not like you can keep any of the video's or music ...the music you will have to pay for which i don't mind .....i'll pay for Prince music and to see him live ....but a membership to a website ...not sure about that..

£54.00 i'll spend getting a few more CD's ...

Not sure the marketing math was worked out ? ...better to charge more for the music and give the video's away for free to watch online...you can encode video on the net through a player ...it's harder with music...?? biggrin biggrin biggrin

it'd be sweet if the $77 included the download versions of the three albums. he should know that the fans who sign up for this are the kinds of fools who will go to target and buy the hard copy of the album anyway, just to have the packaging. lol

not that i'm projecting my own neurotic tendencies or anything. redface

I love the mplsound cover. lol

It's terrible, but it's soooo authentically close to what we had in the 80s (sans the photoshop gloss, but whatever).

I'll need to see Ghostbusters next.

This still doesn't tell us what $77 get us does it? Just mentions portals for the 3 albums. I've got the cash and I'm happy to stump it up, but I need something in return. Excited but still waiting.

This Price $77 or £54 could Prince not bring it down to the cost of the album and then charge people to download music from the site at cost...sounds like a better deal to me he would sell more and increase his fam/fan base this way...maybe that figure is wrong.... hmmm

that'd be nice and it would make an awful lot of sense, especially since he knows that once the downloads are up, let the pirating begin. lol

if he uses our mania to be the first kids on the block with the new music to his advantage, then he can grab our $77, we'll have the new music on the 24th, and then our butts will be back in line in front of target the next weekend to get the albums again on CD at le targ.
