Oddly enough as Target and others have promoted the price to fit $11.98 and had marketed as such... There appears to have been a change. Going back on the word the price has now jumped up. $12 for 3 CD's. It appears they are rethinking it...

The posting stats:
Prince: LotusFlow3r 3-Disc Album - Only at Target
$20.99

Usually.if it sounds too good to be true.

Hmmm...wonder if that's an error. I guess we'll have to wait and see. I'll have to check Target to see if the price changed since I pre-ordered from Target. The total price including the shipping for me is $19.46 altogether.
so $20.99 with shipping included would not really be a suprise.

See this link: http://www.target.com/gp/...ombrowse=1

Says: 11.98

I think this is the price you pay for it if you want to pre-order it and have it shipped to you, excluding the shipping.

I preorder says 11.98...

New graphic too. Check out the reds! I like that better. But your right, when you click on the link, it goes to the 20.99 pre-order screen.

Maybe that's a shipping/processing/packaging fee and it's 11.98 in the store.

My total when I pre-ordered with shipping is $19.46 so maybe that price $20.99 includes the shipping costs.
Maybe Dr. FB could clear up that info later on his site.

Yes this main link here: http://www.target.com/gp/...ombrowse=1
adresses that the album(s) will be $11.98
There is a nice logo and a lines going through that light up.
It states: Pre-Order 3-CD set for 11.98. As you highlight this and click on it... you are then taken to a page that displays the CD and cost.

It now stats $20.99 as the new price. This is the price they are saying, yet you can also click on pre-order. It appears a change or a mistake of things.
You can preoder but that would make it a different price as well.
With shipping it would not be $19.46 as stated above. But with standard
$23.97; 2 day shipping $26.97; 1 day shipping $31.97...

Just hope by next week this is cleared up. And hope to own this next Sunday at the promoted promised $11.99 price.

And add which other tracks, apart from "$", have leaked in the meantime.

even at $20.99 it would obviously be a cheap price for 3 albums.

But still, what gives? Was this a mistake on Target's part, and you could only get the $11.99 price if you pre-order? If so, that was not made clear.

now the album is "out of stock"... glad I pre-ordered mine when it was 1st available.

Are you serious? Wow. That was quick.

Dave1992 said:

Nope, just talking about clearing the information about the correct price.

It's just a glitch. The regular price of $77.77 should soon be up.

Not quick.....Strange very strange...

Just the facts are they are stated:

The price at Target s $11.98. According to my local Target Management: if you are pre-ording for shipment, its $11.98 +shipping. The website will state "Its out of stock" because the musc hasn't been shelved yet. Stop Panicing. It will come on March 29th. Patience, People, Patience.

Prince's Sarah

I was just there and the price was back to the 11.89 or what ever it was...

littlehype said:

what ever, the day it comes out, like target always does, is cheaper than the day after when it goes back to the full price.

nothing new here.

It's back to the $11.98 price.

Isn't that consistent with most online vs. in-store purchases? The ad says "Pre-order $11.98. .
