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. Hey c'mon GNS.. nothing lasts forever, so when the site launches, and however long the duration is, we'll just have to enjoy what we can get out of it during its lifetime. Come on and join the party. You won't know what's going on unless you're in. I doubt we'll be eatin crow if the site shuts down after a year. We'll just be sharing memories of it with one another and who knows what Prince's next venture will be.
Maybe he'll have contests for free tickets and other surprises down the road..who knows. [Edited 3/13/09 13:08pm] | |

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. Preach Purplecam...you are on the roll!
[Edited 3/13/09 13:01pm] Thank you 2elijah. You know I gotta be honest with these folks here. Even moreso now than ever before.  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 | |

I can't wait till the 24th. I've been a fan since 1981, when I saw P, dressed in bikini underwear, thigh high boots, leg warmers and a trench coat, get nearly booed off the stage at the LA Coliseum, when he opened for the Stones at the Sunday show, and I'm not about to get off the boat now. | |

[Edited 3/13/09 13:08pm] I understand people's hesitations and all but we really don't know what's in store with this. I understand that this is for the duration of the site, the price that is. It might also be a yearly fee but I choose to be a part of it cause I am a Prince fan who wants to have as much stuff as I can get. It's too soon to write it off as so many of you are doing. As 2elijah and others have said, see it for yourself and then judge. 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 | |

[Edited 3/13/09 13:01pm] Thank you 2elijah. You know I gotta be honest with these folks here. Even moreso now than ever before. You know some artists charge much more and they have different fan levels. Like "Gold" level equal to VIP status and so on with perks included. Then again you never know, maybe down the road if Mr. P may decide to do that if he gets a multitude of members. Who knows? Maybe some fans will be given first dibs at tickets and great concert seats, even if it is just a hand full. I don't think $77.00 is much to ask for. Fans wanted him to have a website and it takes money to maintain one. There's people to pay. The fans basically demanded he have a website and we got one. The 3121 site was free, and although it lasted for the period of the 3121 era, now he's putting a site together that may feature much of what his fans constantly request. May not be all many hope to see, but at least the site in itself was created with fans in mind or else what would be the point in having one? We can get music directly from the source through his site and enjoy other adventures with it. We shall see....the anticipation builds.  [Edited 3/13/09 13:21pm] | |

Imagine if there was a Gold, Silver, Bronze level in the site. People would be bitching about that too. "You're such a Silver Fam!" "You Purple Kool-Aid Drinking Gold Fam!" It would be even more crazy here. 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 | |

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! lol.....I guess we will know on the 24th. I guess. I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

$77 for a year is nothing.
I hope all the whiners stand firm and don't join. If there are ticket presales, it'll just mean less competition for the front row. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Any of you who have unofficial product need to STFU about any of his pricing, and pay the man for his work. I've NEVER once bitched about the price of anything of his, even privately, I have no right to...
I always buy multiple copies of official CDs/DVDs, buy the merch at concerts/sites, donate(d) $$ to L4OA and his associates' charities. It still isn't 'right' to have unofficial stuff, but at least I try to compensate him in other ways. | |

amorbella said: 77 dollars is not bad at all. The site is sooooo worth it. I'd pay that $$$$ just to see some of his rare stuff just once.
Not only is there music, but I believe there is going to be rare concert footage for your viewing pleasure. So, I wonder... Site goes live on the 24th, we pay for our membership, then we get the info for the show times and places for the 24th?? oh snap!!! I guess I will be up all night on the 23 waiting for this site to go live. Then after paying, ill be running around town trying to see at least one of the shows!!! lots of red bull and comfy sneakers!!!  Rhythm floods my heart♥The melody it feeds my soul | |
