Anyone NOT buying the ONA Live in Vegas DVD??

I'm not..unless he relents to the wishes of the fans and release a more decent DVD with a complete concert (or at least close to complete); if other artists have done it, why can't he?? No wonder his popularity continues to dwindle...he's full of IT that's why!!

I doubt I'll be buying it. Not for any reason to do with the club or make up of the DVD, just because I'm not very interested in Prince videos. I just like the music.
Life it ain't real funky unless you got that orgPop.

Eventhough it's too bad that it's not a complete show, I will definately buy the DVD.
I have the Kokusai and Budokan bootleg DVD's and they are great, but soundquality is always better with official releases...

I will buy it but an edited concert is pretty disappointing. In an age where companies are stuffing DVDs with awesome Xtras, leave it to Prince to give you less than what you want!

Another case in point: the Rave DVD. It tells you on the packaging that there are 'Bonus Groovez' but what it doesn't tell you is that they're just snippets & not the entire jams/songs! Aaaarrrggghhh!!!

I certainly won't be buying it from NPGMC.

For starters, I'm in Europe, so I'll be waiting for a superior PAL version once it hits retail.

It will be half price in a couple of months too.

No, I won't be buying it. Not because I am disappointed in the length, just because I'm not interested.

NPGMC said the PAL version will only be available when it hits retail in Europe.

I'm assuming the UK will be included.

Is PAL/NTSC still an issue in the DVD age? To be honest I don't have a clue what my DVD player or TV are.

i still find it funny that prince talked about "free the music" but releases an 80 minute video of a 2 1/2 hour show. and it was one of his best tours! at the very least he should make the full show available to members of the club. maybe then there would be a reason to join.

Where were you when the Sexy MF video was released? That one has only one song as lasts like 12 minutes..:
"I'm not gonna buy it, it's just one song"

Shut up and buy the DVD!

An edited dvd is better then no dvd at all.
OK, it's not the complete show. It's just an impression of the show.

Well, I will be having a blast those 80 or 90 minutes I will be watching this show...and later again...and again.

Support the guy a bit...OK?

Actually, you probably overestimated here.

The world's population is about 6 and a half billion people, so if only 0.01% of the world bought this DVD, that would be 650,000 copies sold. There's no way in hell, unless perhaps, every newspaper in the world had a front page story that read: Prince's new DVD is BEST DVD EVER MADE!!!

Then, maybe 650,000 would be willing to buy something by the "queer and washed up motherfucker who had 2 good songs in the 80s".

Well it is if your TV can't display an NTSC picture.
