$77 is peanuts. 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! THANK! YOU! | |

So funky! I must say that is the best album cover of the 3. I hope the music is just as hot. I'm hopeful that it is. 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 bet the $77 includes some more downloads. Prolly some Vault material. Will have to wait and see, | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
I doubt vault material will be for sale.. I do however feel that alternate things will be there to download at some point.. demo, or maybe something to that effect.. i don't think for a minute he will give some huge vault surprise like "purple music" or anything to that grade. | |

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 can TOTALLY appreciate that 2elijah. My point is that P really hasn't really said what content will be available on this his, like, fifth website. Are his fans (I AM a Prince faN, lest I be further misunderstood), gonna have to shell out another crazy amount of money the next time he shuts down a website and drops another album then opens another website by the same name. I'm just noticing a pattern here. One that tends to distract from what most of us are here for: THE MUSIC. | |

DigMeNow said: My day started off very well and it's getting even better after seeing and reading the purple news. The anticipation keeps building as we see and read all the information being released.
I like the print in that dress Bria is wearing. Her ring looks like a flower, interesting. Prince is very good with photography. I love the Disco Jellyfish too. [Edited 3/13/09 12:35pm] I hear ya, Dig, I feel the same way. This is very exciting news coming from Prince. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

[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. PC, I hear you. And that's what I intend to do. If the hype IS to be believed, I will start an "eat my words" thread, and y'all can beat up on me however much you like. Until then (and I know you have nothing to do with this), this better be tha bomb! | |

Yeah, count me as one who will wait to see what $77 gets you. If it's not a whole lot of downloadable Vault material, forget it. | |

But things are so insane at work, I just can't get away (at least, not before I have my performance review and my bonus check is in hand ). So I'm just going to hope and pray that he makes it to the midwest sometime in the next couple/few months. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Wow, the covers of MPLSound and Elixer are really horrible. There are people on this site who can make better covers than those.
Did I miss the part in the article where it said there would be ticket presales? How do those of you who are so eager to join even know what you're getting for your $77? Vault tracks? Ticket pre-sales? I didn't read anything in that article confirming that. Unless you're assuming that the ticket info for the Leno shows constitutes pre-sales... And I think we all know what assuming (especially when it comes to Prince) does. I read: "During the tour, LOtUSFLOW3R.com appeared to be a multimedia powerhouse capable of playing videos and live clips..." Operative word: appeared. We have no idea what this site is going to offer. I don't think $77 a year is unreasonable, but I'd like to know exactly what I'm purchasing; if it's $77 for three albums that I can buy elsewhere for $11.98 why would I join? Also, given the current economic climate, $77 may be too expensive for some people when a few years ago, it may not have been. | |

I guess I'm in the minority. I love the MPLSound cover. I can't see the Elexir one though.
I don't have an issue with the joing fee whatsoever. I only have an issue with the amount of anger on this thread that springs from speculation about what won't be included and what you can't dl or keep. Just calm down people. Once we know what the deal is, you can choose to opt in or not to opt in. Everyone's a winner. I personally have a good feeling about it all. It's nice to have stuff going on after a few years of the E blackout as far is Prince is concerned. If the milk turns out to be sour, I aint the kinda pussy to drink it! | |

I really like this cover!
and is this what the cover of LotusFlow3r will look like? Since they each have there own cover art,maybe we can assume that even though they will be combined in one package,they will be each in separate cases? I really hope so. Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. ~Berthold Auerbach | |

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. ahh excuse me i haven't seen one dime from u going 2 my charity pay up!!! Good one! Sorry 'bout that, all I have right now is . | |
