Prince Offering Payment Plans on $2,100 'Opus'

It was only this past March that Prince released three new albums -- 'Lotusflow3r,' 'MPLSound' and 'Elixir,' the latter being the debut album from his protégé Bria Valente -- exclusively through Target for the recession-friendly price of $11.98. Now, the Purple One is offering to help cash-strapped fans once again by helping them purchase his $2,100 '21 Nights' deluxe book and iPod package with two payment plan options.

There are 950 copies available of the '21 Nights' set, which commemorates his 21-show residency at London's O2 arena in 2007. The opus includes a 280-page book, a 40-minute documentary and a live version of the 'Indigo Nights' soundtrack loaded on the first purple iPod Touch. The Minneapolis native has schemed up a way to make the set more affordable to his fans in the UK thanks to two payment plans; Option one offers the opus with no interest over 12 months, while the second lets you pay it off over two years at a 9.7 percent APR. On top of that, each purchaser, no matter what country, will be eligible to win $21,000.

On the bright side, at least the hefty '21 Nights' (the book alone weighs nearly 40 pounds) comes without a delivery fee. And if you are one of the lucky ones rollin' in the dough, take a crack at the 'Number One Edition,' a leather-bound masterpiece encrusted with five rare purple diamonds and 21 round brilliant-cut diamonds to be auctioned off after it tours 12 major cities. We doubt there will be a payment plan for that one.

Ha Ha Ha Ha... Is he kidding? Thanks for lightening up my day with ridiculousness! Boy, who should have played Mad Hatter in Alice.. Depp or Prince (I guess Prince was too close to home on that one)! Too bad... I USED to be a fan note the words:USED to. I am now to be called the "person formerlly known as a Prince fan" (Still laughing)....
