For THAT amount of money? No thanks.

[StaceyMJ]

For THAT amount of money? No thanks.

My thoughts exactly! I got the email earlier and could not believe those prices. I already got the opus and don't think that was worth the money, so won't be doing it again.

Same here, I was shocked when I saw the prices for the first time...I actually thought it was some kind of an error...
It's... well, let's say "unbelievable"

[Hicci]

It's... well, let's say "unbelievable"

And a joke :doh:

[Webbie]

And a joke :doh:

Agreed, that would describe it better!

[KingMikeJ]

I didn't even get the Opus because of its price. I just can't afford this for a book. And even if I could, I really don't think it would be worth it for the amount of time I'll actually read it.

You're not the only one who can't afford it, believe me. I can't afford it either. The economics become worse every day and now they're releasing something that expensive? :doh:

[PCR]

OMG, please!!! See the times we are living!!! 695 for a book??
:no:

[Memefan]

The price is unbelievable. I hope it's a typo...69.50$ I could go for...but 695$?

Newsflash: We are in a recession.

Naty move, very bad on you :nono:

And I guess we all learned a good lesson back in 2009 with the OMG :bugeyed-THE-ULTIMATE-MEGA:bugeyed-SUPER-ULTRA-TOP-UNIQUE-SPECIAL-INTERGALACTIC:bugeyed Opus... which turned out to be a real headache for most of us :doh:

By the way... did anyone ever got the 3D to see the exclusive content online??

robbers!!! :angry:

[Ashtanga]

:nono:

[Krshna28]

I paid about £125 for the Opus (pre-order), and I thought that was expensive.........

...........But when I got the book, I found that it was value for money (despite not ever getting the "opus reality" thing they promised us)............and it's a very beautiful book..........


But this book is £432 or £245..............and they're both too expensive............


I just cannot afford it.............


And it's not fair to us fans when we already forked out a lot of money for the Opus!!!

[Petrarose]

I will just keep the Opus, and I only bought it because Michael began working on it. I am still waiting for the card and the poster that I was supposed to get when I preordered the TII disc set. How many times now have they scammed us. Oh, don't forget those who bought the Mann book thinking it was legit, and gave to Johnson charity thinking it was the original Michael charity. I think I have learned my lesson.

Did the Estate ask this artist to do this book?

[earthlyme]

:lol: they crack me up. I could pay that much money for a 1credit class at my Univ.

Wont be getting it with that price cost

[Lainy]

What? :bugeyed: Neither if I "sell my Kidney" I would have money to buy this. :wtf: Sorry for silly joke, I'm also in a silly mood. :tease: :doh: :lol:
I love art but honestly, I just can't afford this for a book. :angry: :nono:

Lol... :hysterical:

The ultmate-mega-super-top-unique-special Opus is worth of its price though. I'm very satisfied with my purchase. I'm still waiting for the vitural reality gimmic card. But, you know what, I don't care anymore. The Opus is just so beautiful. It's such a well-put-together treasure.


Did the Estate ask this artist to do this book?

Yes, the Estate commissioned this artist to do the cover of Michael. I may be wrong, but I remember hearing that the artist will publish a book back when the album is released in November.

Nah, I'm not going to buy the book. First, I'm not too keen on the album cover. Second, the price is just ridiculous. I would rather spend the money on some hard-to-get collectible items found on eBay.

[xthunderx2]

it sure is beautiful..in this economy....noway....that is ALOT of money. I guess the folks that made it are not feeling the same money tightening that we all are..:no:

IKR. The folks behind this project seem to be out of touch. $695 is a lot of money... Based on the product description on the OP, I don't see how this book can justify the price.

Ha, how dare you pay for an education rather than buying this limited edition masterpiece!!! By the way, I wanted to tell you that while I was in a cab this week, the driver played that song you shared with us--the one with the video with the umbrellas that used Michael's picture. What a small world. We are making Michael connections all the time.

I really think they are trying to take advantage of us..they know we love Michael and want to support projects about him...so they over price everything and think we will pay that price. These are the kinds of things Michael use to get mad at..over charging the fans.

I know. I collect everything Michael. However, I become much more selective these days. There are just too many people who want to profit from the name Michael Jackson.

To me, this "limited editon" book is way over-priced. :no:

[Hicci]

Does anyone know how we can complain about this?

[StaceyMJ]

The things you could buy for that amount. The mind boggles! It's greed, plain and simple and I'm glad fans aren't going for it.

[Webbie]

You could always ask Bravado to forward your complaint, but whether they would actually do that...

True, the most expensive one, the platinum, is equal to one month rent for most people...

[Memefan]

Does a replicate of the painting come with the book? That's the only way I could understand such a price.

EDIT:
the limited Edition murals are printed on museum quality paper, using the gicleé technique and individually numbered

Well, there's my answer.

Just to add, original paintings are very expensive...even by unknown artists. Just from reading about the gicleé technique, it seems to be highly sophisticated & more accurate than those dreadful reproductions.

But I'd rather they use a less precise technique to reproduce it on canvas to keep the price affordable.

Even though we are always clamouring for MJ standard / quality... 695$ is too much.

[Webbie]

Does a replicate of the painting come with the book? That's the only way I could understand such a price.

Yes, it comes with a print autographed by the artist, but stil... :doh:

[raz2911]

I got the email and thought I'm getting this !! then the price came, no way I can afford that, nor would I be willing to pay that much for either of them, this is seriously taking the you know what, really cashing in on MJ :no:
To be honest if I had that kind of money it would be going to Japan not this...

[earthlyme]

just ordered 2

Are you joking? :shock:

[~Lindsey~]

^I hope they are joking:doh: lol

[Hicci]

Unless you are a millionaire I can't believe some people would be silly/stupid enough to buy this :doh:

[DARKLIGHTDAN]

Got the email aswell, me wants 1, me thinks I might get :-) that platinum canvas is PRETTY big :-)

[michaelsson]

garl bye

[BubblesLuvsMichael]

For THAT amount of money? No thanks.

:giggle: I was just thinking the excat same thing, I know that it's limited edition and only 1000 of these were ever made, but still I don't think its worth it.


I didn't even get the Opus because of its price. I just can't afford this for a book. And even if I could, I really don't think it would be worth it for the amount of time I'll actually read it.

Don't worry you aren't the only one that didn't order the Opus... I never order it because of its pricing too, I mean it was just a stupid price just for a book

[twinklEE]

My thoughts exactly! I got the email earlier and could not believe those prices. I already got the opus and don't think that was worth the money, so won't be doing it again.
Same here, haven't even taken a second look at my Opus ever since it arrived last year, it's laying around fully packed, as I opened it just once only, btw did any of you ever get that extra thing (dont even remember what is was) that was supposed to be sent separately or needed to be printed out, or something?

These prices are outrageous, I only paid 100 bucks for my TII tickets, to see MICHAEL live, what makes these people think I (we)'d be ready to spend this kind of money on a book?!

[lom kit]

-edit-

[DARKLIGHTDAN]

Yea I got my opus reality card, want platinum 1 :-)

[brunomj]

too much for what it is.... shame!!!!!!

[Hicci]

Yea I got my opus reality card, want platinum 1 :-)

Are you seriously going to spend all that money on a BOOK? It's not worth it! People just want to milk in as much money as they can by benefiting from Michael's death, and I really doubt any of the money spent on these books will go to Prince, Paris or Blanket.

[prettygirlmj]

I wonder if the estate have a say in this or I missed it somehow. I never was able to buy the opus simply because I can't afford it and even less the outrageous prince for this. Hell I can't even go to the Cirque shows because of the prices!

[L&L=L.O.V.E.]

WTF!
those prices are outrageous!
how dare they..this is not about his legacy, no about the money ..
I have the opus book, it's a nice book, but I never read it ..

I rather go on holiday with my girlfriend ..
enjoying and listening to her mj experiences which are amazing..
than buying a book I would never read ..

[MJsBollywoodGirl7]

I totally agree with you guys. There is no way I will ever spend that kind of money on that book. And I thought it was bad enough that I spent the kind of money that I did on the Opus book when I had pre order it.

[PCR]

Same here, haven't even taken a second look at my Opus ever since it arrived last year, it's laying around fully packed, as I opened it just once only,

The day I got the Opus, I managed to take it home with me (it almost broke my back in the process) and I opened carefully the package, with the OMG-WHAT-A-GREAT-SINGLE-MJ-STYLED-GLOVE they included (:ermm:) and took many pics of it to share with my friends who couldn't afford the book. Then I talked a lot about it with them and went to bed and 20 minutes later we had that horrible mega earthquake and tsunami in Chile....

...

so....

I never felt like opening my Opus again :doh:




btw did any of you ever get that extra thing (dont even remember what is was) that was supposed to be sent separately or needed to be printed out, or something?

no, they didn't.
basically, they just sold lies about that thing.

The book is beutiful, though.
Worth having for a fan, no single question, mainly because we know Michael approved it. That's really the main thing about it.

[MoeJack]

Wow, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought their prices were ridiculous. $695 and $395? Who are they kidding? I'm surprised someone at Sony even had the guts to write those numbers. Most fans couldn't even pay that much for a Michael Jackson concert!! What makes them think we'd pay it for a picture book of a painting we all have in digital hi-resoultion? I would discourage anyone from even thinking about buying this, hopefully Sony will come to their senses someday..

[adamschoales]

The Opus would at least be worth it. From what I can tell this is just a series of close ups of the big poster and then some random writing? Like seriously, what the hell is this thing that it should cost that much?

It's a COFFEE TABLE BOOK &lt;_&lt; of course you are not gonna open it very often.

Ours is on our COFFEE TABLE and is the first thing guests pick up when we are entertaining friends in the living room.

It never fails to attract attention...and ooooooohhhsss and Aaaaaaaawwwwwws

[ScrEAm.Jack5on]

How friggin stupid.

[Ingelief]

ridiculus.... one the price and to that is a amount that is way to less and ridiculus... the prices could go to 2000 on ebay.... its ripping peoples moneyy... for what???

[MaJic]

They should have at least a bargain version where it comes with a poster instead of canvas.

[earthlyme]

Dude... I didnt even get the Opus...and I thought it was expensive... smh
