who in there right mind would pay $2,100 for a ipod touch with preloaded music? I seriously doubt they sold 300 of these, Saying they already sold 300 sounds like a marketing line. If they did i know they didn't sell them in America with the current recession.

For $2100 you think they could have done up an unlocked iPhone and not an iPod Touch... That's just stupid.

Not to mention that The Artist Formerly Known as "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince" is rubbish.

I don't really know much of him, I saw him perform on SNL a month or so ago though and it wasn't bad... Kinda had that Jimi Hendrix style...

You guys clearly don't understand collectables/limited editions, and how rabid people who are fans for bands like Prince. I can almost guarantee they'll sell them all and there will likely be demand for more. And as for the ammount of people in his fanbase comment, ha you'd be very surprised.

'Hardcore' fans will pay alot for collectables and limited edition stuff.

There are always people to pay a lot for something that is in limited supply! What appears to be 'over the top' to some, is normal everyday spending to others.
As for the guy stating none would be sold in the US because of the recession, wake up dude! This is a global problem and not exclusive to the United States.
Very few people have influenced the music industry as much as Prince - like him or not, his past and current success is not an accident and should be acknowledged accordingly instead of being 'stumped on'... Of course, just my $0.02!

Reading is fundamental, and a coherent thought, people.

Also coming with the Touch is the ?Prince 21 Nights Opus" photography book which chronicles "21 Nights" and includes lyrics and poetry from Prince. The book is 200 pages and weighs an "epic 17 kg.? It is leather bound and has a velvet-covered case.
So clearly it's not just a iPod with music.

About 3 years ago someone put up an auction for David Bowie's cigarette butt. They had pictures of him putting out the cig to show it was legit. The auction closed at $160. These iPods will sell out to 950 idiots too.

Wait until the replicas start hitting the net to be sold as the real thing. Then more idiots can throw away their money.

Actually he is NOT a Hendrix Poser but does some kind of Freakish Dance music or Techno Pop crap. He has a following ... Just goes to show how many ignorant sheep there are ...

He wasn't too bad before he went nutty and then he turned himself into a peace symbol. I don't know what you were supposed to call him after that. I reckon Puntz suits him now. I don't get why some artists have to call themselves funny names. Does it make it easier to remember them or something?
