New Album?..Wal-Mart Also?

I seen the new prince Album coming out and it was a target commercial but we don't have a target around us.So do you think it will make it to wal-mart or is it just a target release?

And it's only going to be available at Target a short time, then it will probably be at Wal-mart but it's gonna cost three times as much. eek

When they go out of business like Circuit City and are bought out by Wal-Mart?

Seriously, it will not be sold at Walmart - ever. It's a Target exclusive deal and will go out of print when interest wanes and Target stops ordering the CDs.

Anyhoo, it's a very good CD set... get it while it's hot.

I figured it would eventually be sold outside of Target, does that mean we in Canada cannot buy it off the shelf ever? Phoned Target they will not ship it up here.

Online retail will be your best bet. Pick a seller that you're comfortable with. Or trade a promo, tour book, t-shirt etc. with someone in Marketplace.

I got mine @ a Hastings this weekend. I paid $13.88 for it on "sale". The sticker price was listed @ $16.88 underneath the sale sticker. It still had the Target magnetic security sticker on the back, too.Since the nearest Target to my town is 70 miles away, I figure I saved myself the gas money if I was to go drive & buy it!!

That's most likely illegal for that store to resell it as a new product, but it worked in your favor.

?? Not really, they can go and buy as many as they like from Target and mark it up. That is not illegal.

But Target has the exclusive rights to brick-and-mortar sales of the CD set. Is there some kind of loophole in the term "exclusivity"? Maybe your right, but it makes no sense to me in terms of legality.

Target is the "supplier" nothing more.

Hmmm.... squared. I was thinking the same thing about Target's "exclusivity", when I saw it on the rack. There were only 5 copies of it. I asked the clerk, & she didn't know why they had it. I mentioned that it was listed as $11.98 at Target. The Hastings sticker was $13.99. I bet her that it said $11.98 under their sticker. I lifted it up, & it was marked $16.98!!! shocked

I now owe her a Coke!!!coke

It won't go to Wal-mart, no more than One Nite Alone or Rave In2 were ever on another Prince website or released elsewhere.
