hype Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Damn, went from thinking I was going to instacop this to having zero interest at that price real quick. Hopefully there is just a regular release as well because that is straight robbery pricing right there. These gimmicks added to records to shoot up the price are getting worse and worse it seems... chickenbones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffthomas84 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 My only hope is that the *"vinyl price subject to change once content is finalized" part ... Hopefully once the poster offer ends on Dec 2, the price drops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowBearToe Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Damn I really want this too, but can't justify that price. I'm going to wait until the pre-order is over as well, hopefully that'll bring the price down. Or once they figure out and explain the details of what it actually is.

clerk3745 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 This might have something to do with the "virtual reality" thing: https://pharos.earth/ He tweeted this early this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress On The Sky Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Gonna grab the CD on Friday and wait it out on the vinyl. For $60 plus international shipping the vinyl will need to be VERY special as I'm sure it'll wind up being around $100+ to import and with the weak pound that's just not feasible.

Has to be. Watch them include a Bino VR headset and jack up the price even higher. Surprised they haven't listed a marked up VR version of the CD as well...

daegor Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Pharos already came and went. I'm thinking that maybe there is some VR setup so that you can watch Pharos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the description in the app says: "Welcome to an immersive experience of "Me and your Momma" live from PHAROS created in collaboration with Microsoft. The app works with Mobile VR Headsets. No headset? Not a problem you can use your phone as a window into the world of PHAROS. Don't forget to plug your headphones in for a fuller immersion." daegor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lethalenforcer Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 If you just need the free app to make the album a VR experience, it still doesn't make sense why the vinyl specifically has "Virtual Reality" in the title but not the digital or CD. Who cares about that preorder limited print. They should have waited until the price and contents were determined to list it. Weird scramble.

RowBearToe Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I still don't understand how the app ties into that record pre-order though. You can download the app right now and watch the Me and your Momma PHAROS performance, so you don't need the record for that ya know.

MCDELTAT Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) Sad say. Let's hope a standard 2xLP pressing. What I'm assuming: "Me and your Mamma" is just a tease for everyone to say "this is cool." Then when the album drops, he'll have a VR version you have to buy in app to pay back the guy who had to develop the app. The 2xLP will probably include a "Special" Google Cardboard housing and then give you free access to all the contents of the app. EDIT: Which is silly because theres no way I get to keep the contents of the app 5 years from now unless he's smart and has them as 360 movie files, which even VLC can play back these days.

And I say that as someone who spent $40 plus shipping on Blond on Black Friday. :/ sucks too because I've really enjoyed both of these singles. I mean, shit, I haven't even gotten Because the Internet because it was $30+. Wouldn't have gone in on Frank Ocean, but wifey really wanted it too. I feel you on that. I bought BTI on RSD when it came, and that was harsh. Sold it cause I figured they would do a standard pressing, and that's never happened, so I'm still without. Sigh. Fingers crossed something cheaper happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I used the app last night. It's pretty cool, but it's a one time thing (as in you watch it once and don't really need to watch it again). The same thing could have been done via YouTube. Don't know why a whole app needed to be built honestly. And don't see why it's tying into the price. I know that concert out in the desert must have cost a pretty penny to do, but I didn't go, don't make me offset it via record price. Sigh. So much sigh. I just want this album.

clerk3745 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I hope the price will come down when the poster isn't there come Saturday. We'll see though... I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erizk182 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I'm at a loss. I have no idea what to do. I have camp and BTI from RSD. I'd love this but that price is too steep for me. What I'd really love to find is some bootle pressings of his "I Am just A Rapper" mix tapes from back in the day.
