I have a problem believing what any e-tailer says. I've had a game on order with Play.com for well over 4 years. The Publisher has said on their website that the game wasn't anywhere near ready and was still under development. They even listed a selection of random dates that amazon, Play, HMV and a few others had pulled from the air.

Did HMV tell you why the price was changing so much?

How difficult would it be to publish a release date on the lotusflow3r website?

Hmmmmm

HMV put the price back up to £29.99, luckily i got mine for £12.99 yay

What the F**K is going on ..... what the hell is HMV playing at....

Look at this website.....this is gonna make headlines for all the wrong reasons...why are they messing around with Prince's album release....

http://flaunt-talks.blogspot.com/

HMV will do damage to their brand by doing this ...

That's not a cause for joy...it's sad what the hell is wrong with Prince fans .... All the UK and International Fans need to come together about this at the end of the day ....Prince album sales get screwd and his fans lose out ..

incredibleD said:

You can still get it at a better price via amazon resellers ....so why get RIPPED OFF ..... very silly... that's the problem with the world eveyone is looking out for me ....but we all get screwed in the end....

I pre ordered mine when it was £12, but now when I try to check my order, the link doesn't work

tatocorcu said:

Don't worry they won't mess with the price you got....it's the other fans trying to order they are trying to screw....no one in the UK should be paying £29.99 for the CD ....understand it's $11.98 in the US that's £8.27 GBP UK.....Just Hold On....

I haven't pre-ordered it, but I'll pay £29.99 if I absolutely have to.

It doesn't look like I have much choice... HMV are the only place selling it at the minute...

MattyJam said:

its on at play.com similar price though

Happy I saved you a few bucks. Just checked my order with HMV and it's still £12:99 .....

Another Day ....Another Price Change.....Please Prince get you people to sort this out for your international fans ....let's have deal over here...that's close to what the US is getting for a short period of time....the figures just don't add up...

$ 11.98 USD is £8.27 GBP

We are being charged £25.39 that's $36.79 USD dollars for your new release???

Your fans are losing money to RIP OFF Amazon and HMV or dirty Ebay....Help!

Thank god I pre ordered it for 12.99

I never wait round with Prince. Things change so quickly.

Just checked and it still shows as 12.99 on my pre order.

Nice one!

The problem i have with this is not all of his fans/fams had a chance to get this offer which he should / "His people" allowed his International Fans/Fams a chance ...after that they could go back to what ever price ...but at least in these times they got a chance ....music is a help ... Prince of all people should know this... so his people should help his fans ....as times are hard

Luckily i got mine for £12.99 to, just one question has anyone got a delivery date?

I phoned HMV in Dublin a few minutes ago - they're expecting to sell it instore on the 3rd of April. 36 Euro.

LondonStyle said:

lol i just seen a Elvis 4 cd set with a 32 page booklet for 15 quid on that bestsellers list, and we get shafted with 30 notes for 3 cds,(correction 2 cds and a coaster). man i feel thoroughly depressed right about now im about to become a Elvis fan

I went in to my local HMV on saturday and they confirmed £29.99, so I said to the man
'It's on your web site at £12.99'
'Is it?' said the man 'in that case I would get it from there if I were you. In fact, I might do just that myself'.

So I went home, came on here, and saw that the web site had withdrawn the £12.99
and replaced it with £29.99. I was slow off the mark, and should've reacted when it first came up on here at £12.99. Sheesh.

gates said:

Don't give up just yet a bit of a push and we might all get a better deal ....£29.99 is still a rip off and Amazon up to yesterday had it on there site for £25.99 so they can move on price ....it needs to be 12.99 - 15.99 really ..

LondonStyle said:

Good Luck with your Hunt for Legal CD's.....

Thanks LS, useful summary of the current best prices out there.

I think I am going to join get the download versions and wait it out until i can get a 12.99 or less deal on the CDs again. Fingers crossed.

I would give Prince £30 directly for this set, but I ain't about to let HMV or Amazon mug me for it. I might just join the site and grudgingly listen to digital copies until someone reasonable starts selling it over here.

Oh god, 36 euro, what a rip

Just preordered the CD from cduniverse, which works out at £15 (inc shipping to UK) I'd imagined non US citizens would have been given the option of ordering hard copies from Lotusflow3r site or at least information about hardcopies for sale from the site

Thanks for the info LS

This is for our Aussie Orgers....

JB Music is selling it for $59.99 (AUD) dollars which is £28.79 GBP pounds...

Still a Rip off but some Aussie Orgers have paid around $70 (AUD)

Here's the link

Many thanks to PurplePuppy for this info

Thanks do you know how to read japaness would like to know how much they are charging and what that is in Euro's..... [/quote]

HMV Japan 3,035 yen(if you have an account with HMV Japan the price goes down to 2,731 yen)
Tower Japan 2,637 yen
Amazon Japan 2,228 yen

1 Euro = 135 yen(today's rate)
so it's roughly somewhere between 16.50(lawest) to 22.48(highest) Euros.

Amazon has the best price from what I know.

So HMV in Japan is sell LotusFlow3r at a better Prince than HMV UK ? ...RIP OFF..
at £21.75 a copy.....WATCH OUT ORGERS.....
