UK Buyers of the ONA... Live Set

Anyone else think the set is very expensive in HMV at £49.99?
Wouldn't we be better having it shipped from CD Universe at nearly half price?

Having started a similar thread yesterday, and being called "dickhead" by a very elequant and pleasant Orger, you may expect something similar for your question.
Still, being as HMV are the only place to buy it, the choice is simple. Buy from them, or order from US and wait about a month for postage.
I can't see it getting reduced like people are saying. Its not anything like the Emancipation situation. It won't be pressed to anything like those levels, so stores won't be desperate to offload. It may get reduced to £39.99 in a few months, so its wait and save or buy and hear.
Easy Decisions like that don't come along every day.

I agree this boxset will not be reduced in price in a hurry. I just went into Virgin where the set is £53.99 and thy said it would take two weeks to arrive. Apparently none of their stores will ever have the set in stock as it is a grade 19 CD (grade 1 being the CD's that are "Most popular"). So no Emancipation excess like previously I'm guessing...

Grade 19 - out of 20 I bet.
The guy has dropped so far its unbelievable.
Those Orgers who think it'll drop in price may as well just get it offa Kazaa, cos it won't come cheap. Look at Rainbow Children, its still £20 in HMV, who are the only ones to have it except Play.
Its all well in principle to say £50 is a ridiculous price to pay for a CD! But come next week this place'll be loaded with folks who couldn't help themselves. I wasted £30 on that piece of shit Emancipation - and I'd do the same tommorow.
Life as a Prince fan isn't cheap...

I wonder if MVC will have it? i got Rainbow Children from there, so they do imports and they're definately a few £'s cheaper than HMV.
