Hello Every1,
I haven't been on here in a long while. I was looking 4 some feedbak on the Prince Opus from any of u who have it. Is it as fab as the discription abt it from Kraken sez it is?

Welcome back

I pop into the Opus store now and again as it's very near to where I live, to see if the book is there yet. I was in there 2 weeks ago i asked when will the book be in the store, they said they did'nt know, that it has been delayed and to check the website for details. there was no news on there when I last looked about 5 days ago, I also sent them an email and got no reply.

Its like every other other Prince Project wouldnt touch it with a shiny gold poo stick!

Shiny Gold Poo Stick is actually the new Prince penned fight song for the St Paul's over 50's bowling team. Fact.

Id say more like "Lack of funds"

I can't believe that they went to all that trouble of putting it together and now its gone - must be saving it for a better time.

Well if no one else is going to do it, I guess I will...



Hilarious!

To be honest, I think people believed me Carrie. Wouldn't put anything past him nowadays

erik319 said:

I don't think I would've ever put anything past him. (Have you seen the furry bikini photos from his early years??)

CallMeCarrie said:

Seen it, I bought it on ebay! Worst £10 I've ever spent...

It's been shelved (like numerous other projects)

Have people actually paid for this and still waiting for a book? I hope that's not what happened. There appears to be a way of paying for it on the kraken link...yet the book and contents have been shelved?! Tell me your kidding.
$77.00 is one thing, but $2,100.00 is a !

Apparently the 3D isn't too hot, it's of the post production type and not true 3D. Still, it's got pegasus and medusa and a load of other fun shit from the original, so I'm there. Watched the original on Blu-ray at weekend brilliantly, amazingly, wonderfully crap. but i love it so....

Rorywan said:

Yeah, 3D seems to be part of every new computer animated movie now. Just another way for the film industry to get $2 more out of your wallet. I am sorry that I didn't see Avatar in the theater. That was supposed to be the good 3D.

squirrelgrease said:

Avatar was very good in 3D and goes to show the difference between making something for 3D from the ground up and doing it in post production. Alice In Wonderland was another recent high profile 3D release that was been done in 2D and converted.

I've seen a lot of 2D to 3D movies lately (all of them aimed at kids - I have a 7-year old daughter), and there is almost no benefit to them. The effect is very minimal and you just end up feeling ripped off.

I saw a demo of Samsung's new 3D TV at Best Buy a few weeks ago and it was cool, but after so many people had to upgrade their TVs recently and laid down huge chunks of cash, I can see these sets being a miserable failure. Not to mention the fact that Blu-ray isn't exactly taking the world by storm due to high software price points, the 3D Blu-ray discs will probably die off pretty quickly.

squirrelgrease said:

Avatar 3d: fantastic (shot in true 3d), Pixar's Up: fantastic (rendered in true 3d), Alice In Wonderland (crap 3d) post converted. Yeah shame to miss Avatar, prob still showing in IMAX. The 3d tvs are great, too expensive though. PS3 is going to have a plug in to play the 3D blu-rays so that might help getting it established. You have to plug the glasses in to charge though, they are electronic shutter glasses, not like the movie theatre ones. that sounds like way too much effort. Cut to christmas next year where I will be begging for one...

it costs approx 100k per minute to convert 2D to 3D. so the average movie costs in the region of 30million extra...

PMSL!

and you sir, are one of the reasons I have returned from the void!

Rorywan said:

I did see UP in 3D and it was great. I've heard that Avatar may see another release in theaters with extended scenes later this year. So there is hope.

I have a PS3, but I can't pop for a 3D TV. My 50" Plasma cost enough. That Samsung I saw at Best Buy had an on-board converter that made anything you wanted to watch in simulated 3D a push of a button away. There was a big difference between actual 3D content and the converted stuff, but it was a nice feature that not all 3D TVs will have. The glasses are really cumbersome, though.

I didn't know it cost that much to convert 2D to 3D. Apparently they're able to justify the cost since everything is getting converted now.
