I know its in the shops already but for people that ordered it online, mine arrived this morning. I paid 29.99 for my copy and its not worth it at all, its in its cardboard tri sleeve and not even a booklet. how can HMV justify selling if for that price? and they even have the cheek to say it was orignally 42.99 when target are selling it for 11.98 and in dollars too? is it a mistake or are HMV just ripping off the fans?

Can't have everything for cheap, did you guys not get planet earth CD for free plus SOTT, plus 31.21 concert tickets... ?

pplrain said:

yeah!!!!!

Ebay 17 euros new...inc postage...not so bad!!

pplrain said:

yes but that is not the point anyone buying it innocently off HMW are being over charged for it.

eireboy34 said:

why should we buy it off ebay? HMV are a major music store they shouldnt be over charging ppl for it, then having the cheek to say it was 42.99? Target arent something aint right.

catpark said:

so ur saying coz we got free stuff we must be over charged nearly 3x more this time? im blaming this more at the hands of HMV.

Crybaby, it's not really about the packaging, it's about the music inside. There are probably others that would be more than glad to have it, you know what to do right? God this is the biggest crybaby on the org.

Dayclear said:

excuse me? so i cant say that be over charge isnt right? so that makes ok. just slap any old price on a cd?
crybaby is childish name to call someone who has opinion. if i start call u names believe me u wont like so lets not go there eh?

Anyway...
I wonder if Prince is getting more money from HMV over these prices? if not he should be.

u shoulda just ordered it from ebay but I can see why you're complaining dude, that's just fucked up

You knew what you were getting before you put up the money, don't complain now, chump.

Just got mine....in the post the easter bunny must have left it there !


Wow....gonna blast it in the car today.....



i'm happy....

It is...dont get me wrong i pay a lot of stuff for Prince(the man has left me broke lol) but i dont have my head shoved up his arse like a lot of ppl seem to be on here..and dont like being ripped off by some music store who are gonna make profit, this sells at $43.95 (£29.99) in HMV and how much is prince getting from the sales with HMV? but for a tri sleeve cardboard with not even a booklet in it and it being sold 3x less somewhere else? hmmmm okay

Im glad ur happy im kinda of wanted more tho

I (and others) have said since day 1 that anyone buying it from HMV is a fool. They are simply importing a bunch of stock from Target (and paying a lot less than what Target sells it to customers for) and then ridiculously increasing the markup to make profit out of people who don't know better.

There is NO sense paying that much for it when you can go on eBay and get it for £15 or so including shipping.

pplrain said:

Let me get something off my chest.

We did NOT get Planet Earth for free. Not only did we have to pay extra for an import if we wanted a decent case for it, but to get the shitty slip case edition we had to buy The Mail on Sunday, which is over a quid and, more importantly, costs a whole unimaginable weight on the conscience. Ugh.

catpark said:

I doubt it. I only paid £12.99 for mine fom HMV.

Militant said:

yeps

asideorderofham said:

Yes a lot of my friends bought it for £12.99. I hope Prince is make some kind of profit of the 29.99 price, it would be disgusting if he isnt.

pplrain said:

Yeah...what comes around goes around.

Tame said:

eh? its not a game or some karma shit either, thats weird thinking over a cd Its the same in all HMV's

Irrespective of how much you paid for the set, are you enjoying the new music?

Isn't Dreamer awesome.

catpark said:

Ignore her not even worth it

It's a ridicules high price, if HMV don’t watch it they will end up closing down like Zavvi/Virgin & Woolies and they will only have their self’s to blame.

luv muscle should go 2 HMV'S headquaters to pull down his trousers and pants and show mr winkle and say "U swinesssss.....!!"

I thinkk you should send a letter to Prince as it wasn't his intent that people get ripped off. Therer is a book & cd/DVD Urban store and they wanted to go and get thecd and sell at the shop. I told them they should get it OK'd first and if it was OK; I had better not see anymore than $11.98 on the sticker.

I bet mine has arrived and waiting for me at home...

wish it had come before Easter

TypoQueen said:

Yes and luv muscle would do it too!
ur right i should of ignored that vindictive comment its quite sad really that some fans think like that against other fans. didnt know i was competiting

HMV have taken over Zavvi now and we dont want them going down the same road there all we have left! Still would like to know if Prince is gonna get a cut of that 29.99. if he doesnt he should question it with HMV about the price coz it could affect his sales over here.
