Re: NPNY: RE: [LoveSexyDC] Re: EXCLUSIVE: New Details on Prince's
I don't get why people keep bringing up the "lifetime" thing as though they feel cheated. Did you think "lifetime" meant YOUR lifetime? Like any product which offers a lifetime warranty, it is the lifetime of the company (not the artist) that offers the product. That could be years and years, or a few months. As for the rest of the stuff, no details have really been offered as to what the $77 will buy. Pre-sales to concert tickets for an announced tour would be cool (if handled similar to the way NPGMC handled Musicology tour). But as of now, everything it just speculation... a few reviewers (journalists and fans) giving very unspecific "it's great!" type reviews, talking about the *possibilities* We know in the past the possibilities don't always translate into realities. As for the design... it seems very intensive, graphically messy, and a pain in the ass for slow connections or computers not sporting the latest NVIDIA video card. I would rather a straight up page with links than having to go pixel fishing with my cursor looking for "easter eggs" all over the place. Video streams of the Coachella festival = only cool if it's a video quality that can be SAVED and burned to a DVD. I don't care to watch it on that little TV on the site -- that's not a plus. I'm looking forward to getting the CDs (but not looking forward to having to go to ghetto-ass Target to get it)... but as for the site, I'm still waiting to get details before making a decision.
