Ley me qualify first. I wm a webmaster. I have owned my own webspace
and domain for quite some time now. So I'm not as critical on the tech
issues because I've experienced them.. I've seen them... I know how
that goes.

In fact a lot of peeps should have had issues in the past when HQ
or the Org would get a sudden rush of people logging on and you
couldn't access the site for awhile. ie Shit happens.

The Positives

- The three albums as promised... Both Prince albums included a track not available on thhe Target CD release.

- Nice look... if you liked the album covers then you'ld like the look of the site

- HQ video and music. (the choppiness was caused mainly by the rush of people online)... but they are HQ quality.. trust me

- The vids up include 'The Sacrifice of Victor' (43 min),
Caochella's 'Shhh' and 'Creep'... a few performances on Leno such as
'Turn Me Loose' and 'Guitar'...some of his classic vids like 'Sign O
The Times' and 'Alphabet Street' among several others.

- Ability to purchase Tickets (for the LA shows for now)



The Negatives

- They should have expected the surge they got. I know that's a
server side problem they may not have had any control over... but
still. This caused many problems ranging from slow prorogation over the
net, trouble with trying to DL the albums initially, a lot of dragging,
information such as membership purchases not going through properly,
etc

- Bria's video was up in its entirety... but as of now...
Chocolate Box and Crimson & Clover were both 'SNEAK
PEAKS'.....WTF!!!!!

- I'm a video game person and am familiar with flash sites like
this so I had no problem figuring out how to sign up or find the
content.... but I know many did.

Now that pissed me off. I'm a video lover and although I got
hold...umm... watched some vids never before seen... I really expected
those two to be up as promised.


Over all... was the $77 worth it.... hmmm... for me yes. As I'm a
person who is looking at it in terms of 'the year'... not just 'today'
Today I got enough to tide me over for awhile. I want my two new
videos.. but I'm happy with the new and HQ versions of the older and
bootleg stuff I got.

Now I have to go listening to the albums. I'll review them tomorrow on my Myspace blog in proper fashion as I have the last few
albums.

And of course for the fans/fam who couldn't get in.... by the weekend I should have a few treats up on the page.
