LOTUSFLOW3R in the UK. What 2 do?? Even though I've read from other orgers that HMV has delayed the release of this album, HMV were still advertising it in stores to be released 2day. So 2day, I made my way to HMV in Bluewater the biggest shopping centre in England, so surely they would have it, just to see if it was there but blow me down, they didn't. Suprise suprise. I asked a man there and there was no mention of delayed release, and just said they were waiting on stock.
I am now thinking I should just bite the bullet and order it off ebay. I get the feeling we could be waiting a long time, thats if it even turns up. What are the rest of u going to do? Wait or buy now!? | |

I don't want to be seen as pedantic but Bluewater lost that title to Westfield when it opened last year. Some people are like Slinkies...
They're good for nothing but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs. | |

Much to my surprise I was able to order from Europe @ amazon.com ... It will probably take 3 weeks to get here, but at least it wasn't expensive. We'll see. |

I went for ebay last week, got 2 copies for 30 quid including postage.
Should be here in the next couple of days unless I've been ripped off!!  Some people are like Slinkies...

A friend in NY is sending mine, should be here anyday. I am sure once its released in the uk the price will go down. | |

I dont want to be pedantic either but i think Bluewater is still bigger than Westfield, i think Westfield is one of the biggest inner city shopping centre's , im not sure how big the Trafford centre is, anyway back to Prince..... i wonder if it will be available in Fopp? | |

On the HMV site it says "back in stock in 10 days"
Not sure how long this has been up though... ...Paitience is a Virtue | |

I saw that HMV were advertising lotusflow3r in London/oxford street last week,it suppose to be in today so I went but unfortunately nothing and the sign is gone,so I ask a member of the staff,they are waiting for stock to arrive...any days now!
so yes,patience is a virtue! "Goodness will guide us if Love is inside us" | |

I couldn't wait and ordered it from Ebay. There are some good deals at the moment with several "buy it now" prices at $17.99.
£29.99 is a serious rip off by HMV. | |

Doesn't matter, Westfield and Bluewater are both smaller than the Metro Centre at Newcastle! . |

... oh well, you can't blame fans for illegally downloading it if you can't buy it in stores.
I'm not going to pay $77 for it from his official site. I would've happily paid up to £30 in HMV for it - but it's simply not available, therefore I'm going to download it unofficially. Prince has really fucked this one up... he has only himself to blame. [Edited 4/6/09 12:32pm] | |

http://www.amazon.com/Lot...239&sr=1-1 Click on "Available from these sellers" or "Used & New" I just ordered mine in Swedish kronor, was less than 200 sek including post & pack. | |

As Target is a US only store, he could have easily done a US only deal, and then offered the CD for sale off his website for international buyers only. Instead, most people I know have downloaded it illegally. At best, only half of them will convert that into a real purchase when the CD finally comes up for sale. Silly boy! . |
