Michael Jackson Opus - FIRST LOOK!

[vicious321]

This is what I call making money off celebrity's death.

[PopMJJmusic4ever]

*Fainted*

[sakin81]

I bought it as soon as it was released... its HUGE and worth every dolar!

[southernladylov]

The Book is awesome, but I'm like many others who purchased it and did not receive the card that Mr. Fowler speaks of in this video. What, Who, How and Where do we consumers go to find out why this card wasn't included with the Opus???? Has anyone heard anything about this?

[isangelaaraujo]

This video was made when the Kraken Opus released the program to display it on your site. Today this site doesn't exist for the operation of the Opus Reality. The company let the buyers and future buyers of the book without access to this technology promised on his aquisitions.

[Mnspll]

Where is the augmented reality mr Fowler?Have you lied to us?A year has passed and nothing yet!I really bought into it too like Michael and i'm not the only one!At least have you learned to moonwalk,a year after?

Mr Fowler,you give Kraken a bad name!

[chazmike07]

I got the book. Super heavy~~~~~~~~

but the most important part is where the hell is the magic reality card shown here???? they said they would give us the card later but still didn't see anything after so many months.... no reply for the email either.

It's sad that so many people just try to cash in MJ before and after his death.

[naju22x22]

ive got the opas :D

[kidswhorock98]

I got it at an auction tonight for $50. Its awesome!

[handsomejustin]

this is bullshit, I don't think MICHAEL JACKSON HIMSELF THOUGHT OF DOING THIS, IT'S JUST THE PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR HIM WANT TO MAKE MONEY OFF HIS DEATH

[Pommejaune78]

@handsomejustin No, it was approved and endorsed by Michael Jackson and his estate. He actually really wanted his fans to have his opus, that's why he decided it would be that cheap ($250. Usually Opus books costs around $400... Prince's Opus costs $2000).

[mjjestateTOownsony]

@handsomejustin exactly!

[WakoJackoProductions]

£199

[Bratzfan1111]

I NEED THAT BOOK.

Is it coming to Australia?

[LovinTheKingOfpop]

why my Opus is boblack book and red box?? here it's just the reverse...

why?? :-/

[naturesroses]

I was wondering the very same thing. On his fan page, it is like here too. My OPUS is a red box with a black book. Hmmmmm well that is MJ LOL.........

[chaotic87]

i didnt get the technology with picutre :(((

[naturesroses]

you will get that at the end of the month. :)

[LiaTheShySinger]

its seems bigger in person. im so happy my parents went half in with me....they looked at me weird when i told them that it cost so much, but its worth it. so worth it.

[rockybudgeboa]

I would love this book but I got so many of the other hardcovers and they are cheaper than this one plus I can carry them. But I still want this book.

[MJDJSiddall]

yh same here lol

[MoLiqKa]

Mine came yesterday! The book is absolutely amazing.

[WVPK88]

that book is absolutely HUGE! i didnt know it was gonna b the big

[naturesroses]

OR HEAVY LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[naturesroses]

I got mine last a few days ago. My Lord I cannot even pick this thing up! LOL It is so amazing.  This thing needs a home of its own. Can't just leave it lying around ;-)

[S46468]

i think my parents got me this for christmas. there is a present under the tree and its a big book, and my parents know i love michael jackson

[catmann]

yay im getting one for christmas... I CANT WAIT

[Tunisian22]

its quite expensive. its £199 in the uk..wish i can buy it abit broke now

[naturesroses]

This ain't nothing compared to what it WILL be. I am getting another one after getting the first one. This is really worth every single penny. Just don't buy stupid stuff for awhile....... ;)

[piecethepuzzle]

what it WILL be?

[naturesroses]

yeah. they are only going to print so many. then they will be a collectors item worth quite a bit. :)

[piecethepuzzle]

so do you think it'd be better to keep it sealed as opposed to opening it? from a collectors perspective

[naturesroses]

yeah I do. my second one that i get isn't going to be opened at all. I did open the first one.

[piecethepuzzle]

Oh man.. I wish I could afford to do that :(

[naturesroses]

get a credit card. ;)

[naturesroses]

I have to litterally re-arrange my livingroom now to make a spot on a table just for this thing. It is huge and needs to be somewhere away from traffic. LOL

[piecethepuzzle]

haha that's awesome!

I'm just not wanting to pay $90 to get it to me.. I wish I live in the states.. it's free

[naturesroses]

only cost me 40 buck for shipping. i am in the states. :)

[piecethepuzzle]

Really? When I went to send it to the states (to my cousin), it said there were no charges but the cost of the book

[naturesroses]

Yeah the OPUS was $160 and the shipping was 45. It came to $195 when I got my first one. I wish I would have just got two then but now I am stuck with paying almost 300 for the second one grrrrrrrrrrrr. :)

[piecethepuzzle]

It's an insane price for a book

I mean I'll buy it because I'm an avid MJ fan.. but really, it's kind of ridiculous

[naturesroses]

I spend three times that every term on school books. This is way worth the money. :)

[naturesroses]

remember this is all in 3D when you get it. it is amazing to look at these beautiful pages... there is stuff in it that you will be shocked as well... ;)

[mznik64]

What is in 3d? Mine is not. Have you received your card or download to view the images in 3d?

[naturesroses]

Your OPUS is NOT in 3 D?????? hmmmmmm mine sure is. You will get the card/code at the end of January. :)

[mznik64]

I sure hope so. I wrote them about it and they said that the "download" would be coming soon. But I could tell that the book was put together rather quickly as there were fibers on some of the pages....amongst other flaws with the case...they have yet to address these issues. All in all I love it because it's MJ!!!

Which did you receive, the card or the download?

[mznik64]

Which did you receive, the card or the download?

[naturesroses]

neither yet......... :)

[mznik64]

I'm a bit confused. If you have received neither, what is actually in 3D in your Opus? I did not think you could view any of the 3D images without it?

[naturesroses]

my pages are all in 3D and no i have not yet received the card. i am confused now. i think it is time to order another one and see if there is a difference. hmmmmmm

[naturesroses]

the entire opus is 3D. when did you order yours and where from?

[naturesroses]

@mznik64 Did you know that the OPUS is at 19 thousand dollars on Larry King? Don't ask me why, but if anyone wants one, they better hurry up and get it cause from what I am hearing, when they run out, that is IT!.. :)

[naturesroses]

Each owner of the Official Michael Jackson Opus will receive an electronic Opus Reality™ membership card with a unique code that will give you access to a special area of the website. Once logged in you will be able to download and print off a special card that, when held up to a webcam, will reveal interactive footage in an amazing 3D visual experience. This feature will be updated exclusively for Official Michael Jackson Opus owners.

[Neurozumim]

I bought the book brand new, shinkwrapped in paper. And there was no such card.

[naturesroses]

Owners of the Opus will be contacted in January, giving you full details on how to access Opus Reality™ along with your individual membership code.

[sweetpotatoful]

wow!

[DeeMz90]

its expensive now, I wish i pre-ordered back then. Why was I so stupid :(

[skullbox]

Ok sooo does one have to drag that big ass heavy book in front of your computer point the image at the screen to watch the dam picture dance on ur computer screen???? lol or does the dam picture move inside the book ???? anyone know cuz i ddint see the picture move on the paper just on the screen.

[babybyotch89]

thank god i preordered this months ago whew!

[humannature11]

I pre-ordered it in august :))

[TOUROFTHEUNIVERSE]

just checked out the website and would like to know when was this book ENDORSED by Michael Jackson??

[morgan699]

I think I got an email a few months back about this book and perhaps THEN, the price was $165. NOW, the price is $250. Has anyone else noticed that? Did anyone pay $160 USD for theirs?

[PASymphony]

You are correct, it was 165, I got the same notice. Wish I pre-ordered then.

[EvaDerangoAdem]

well

if you pre-ordered it

it was much less then it is now

i think the us prince was 165 (mine was about 200 in Canada) and now its 250 us and 350 Canadian

[oismackhead]

2:50 woaaah!!!

how technology has advanced!!!

[rebaneller101]

I am getting this!! Happyy birthday to mee(:

IM SO EXCITED <3!!

[MrskikeIglesias]

how much is it going to cost?

[COURTSamaziing]

in the us, its like 160 dollars

[chuneeh08]

249 US dollars

[EvaDerangoAdem]

250 now,

in augest it was 150

[Ghostx1977]

looks amazing cant wait 2 buy it! ;0)

[Tangerinez77]

I was just about to ordder this untill I found out that they CHANGED the cover art. So it makes the last orders different from this video.

[pearldrop2]

Michael was priceless, I will be buying this book because he actually wanted and supported it. Unlike that rabbi guys book.

[AxGingerFish]

toooooo expensive

[badbrandott]

prince is a fag little bitch michael is a king

[chrisfball12]

I like the book but I don't like the price

[XxPinkxTinkxX007]

That's amazing.

I know it's just a green screen effect, but still.

MJ lives on.

[mgblfc]

Can't wait until my copy comes!!

RIP Michael Jackson

[staragoraTV]

Pour plus, d'infos allez consulter l'article de Staragora : MICHAEL JACKSON RACONTE SON HISTOIRE DANS UN LIVRE OFFICIEL

Depuis la mort de Michael Jackson, le 25 juin dernier, de nombreux auteurs s'improvisent biographes de la star. Oui mais voilà, pour contrer tout ce business post mortem, une biographie officelle&nbsp;du King of Pop&nbsp;intitulée The official Michael Jackson Opus sortira en décembre. Qu'est ce que cette biographie&nbsp;a de spécial ? Eh bien,...

[laksafan]

I'm waiting for my copy to be delivered to my doorsteps. It is going to be my Christmas present. :) According to the Opus website, the book is 26.5lb! I will need some help lugging it into my home. For MJ fans who want a copy, better pre-order it before Sept 30 because the price will double after the promotional period.

[naturesroses]

38 pounds. :)

[adolfito34]

are u guys retarded or something...the image ISNT moving, it only acts as a green screen so the computer can "see" it and play some kind of video...double check when the guys move the frame around, how it takes the computer a second to follow it....

[hammerslittlehorror]

Exactly! Also they're probably running it off a special program on the computer that will no doubt need to be installed for the owners of the book to use. It's not that clever, it's just that publishers have never released a book with the intention of using it along side this technology

[cjmtlc123]

I WANT IT!!!!

[JazzyLeZoo]

my gosh...and when u think they've thought of everything!

[RyoOhKi2500]

Just look at the fucking monitor if your standing right in front of it

[BearBee44]

So you have to stand infront of your computer, holding the book, to see the images move? It's cool technology and all, but it doesn't really make sense. It's much easier to just watch a video on the computer itself.

[animust77]

totally agree, great technology but is lackluster in reality.

[thefonkykid]

I agree with you both guys, looks cool but what's the point?

Basically is a video player, even worse a video player that you have to carry with your hands in front a computer so it can work.

May be in a couple of years this will be a better gadget, will see.

[graygooselime]

I pre-ordered mine for myself. Merry Christmas to me!

I ordered through Ticketmaster for the person from Australia

[anduthoughtiwascrazy]

come december, screw buying presents

im so getting this for me!

[ProudtobeaCanuck]

That looks so cool

[KOREANjohnny]

lol

[hiimfamous]

wow, that really does look amazing actually...

[thefonkykid]

It's funny how sudenlly MJ fans are all about the economics (trashing Prince) while Michael Jackson was all about $ selling records and plenty expensive collectors items.

Yes Prince have a opus book worth 2,100$, his first big collector item ever, with no intentions to sell to kids.

MJ bought The Beatles catalog, not for art purposess, not to make a museum about the important Lennon/Mcarthy legacy, but to sell the songs to Nike. He even sold Pepsi to little children.

MJ was crazy about the $

[MJsGyrl]

Paul McCartney owns the publishing rights of other music and makes a healthy living from that.

The Rolling Stones sold 'Start Me Up' to Microsoft for some serious coin for the Windows 95 launch.

There's nothing wrong with artist making money. Many celebs endorse products or invest in other forms lucrative businesses to increase their forture.

Yoko Ono merchandises the John Lennon brand and many 'A' list celebs make endorse Japanese products.

[MJsGyrl]

There's nothing wrong with creating merchandise your fans can afford.

Many have tried to sell knock offs of the Prince 21 Night Opus.

They both had the intention of selling these books to their fans.

I'm a huge Prince fan and if I could afford to, I would buy his too.

This shouldn't be a Prince vs Michael Jackson thing.

[soyflordelis]

Es caro pero hay que reconocer que es precioso y tiene una calidad inmejorable.

Dicen que te lo venden con un par de guantes para que no estropees la foto, creo que voy a pedirlo.

si se pide antes del 30 de septiembre cuesta 127 euros, si lo haceis después os costará 330 euros. Asi que no dejeis pasar la fecha si os interesa comprarlo.

[UrGuitarWantsMe]

I want to order this but cant seem to be able to. How do i get this in Australia does anyone know???

[naturesroses]

Why can't you? You can't order this on ticketmaster from there?

[iheartprincey]

.. I want it, it really looks amazing.

I love how it's at a reasonable price too.

Fuck Prince's opus! .. 2,100$?

You gotta be kidding me.

[MJsGyrl]

Maybe Prince refered him.

When I saw his book, I wanted to order it too but I don't have 2100.00 pounds yet.

Michael probably would have included his O2 concerts photos in his too.

Doesn't healthy competition among the best produce great results?

They're both wonderful artist in their own right.

Always loved them both...blew my mind as I got older and understood some of the lyrics to Prince's songs. (Darling Nikki) :)

[DeeMz90]

I was just wondering how expensive Michael's opus has become until I saw Prince21!! Wow...

[americansparkle07]

OH MY GOD. THAT LOOKS AMAZING!

[LianneCL]

It's going to be amazing. Already pre-ordered mine. My Christmas gift to myself.

[michaeljackson606]

i want 1 of those i might get this 4 christmas

[piszczeck]

I hope they don't sneak anything negative about MJ into that book. I wanted to buy some of the special commemorative magazine issues that come out right after he died, with all the pictures in them. But as I scanned each one, I noticed they had included many negative statements about MJ along with the good stuff, so there was no way I would give them my money for those publications. I hope Opus is all positive.

[nbbcrap]

Yes because there are a lot of books out there on Michael that I would love to get, but they are always full of crap. Hopefully this won't be one of them, and I have a feeling it will be clean. Look out December 7th!

[ghostinthefog1666]

i heard to pre order its supposed to be 160 dollars or so and after that the price goes up to 330 dollars. so for that amount of money im sure they will aim to please the fans.

[naturesroses]

I just got one and it was 193. The shipping was 33 dollars. :) After the end of the year, it will really go up.

[fanime1]

I pretty sure it is, if Michael was working on it himself, but I understand your concern.

[MJsGyrl]

The Life and Ebony tributes are really good.

[thecatatemyhomework]

I just ordered it. It's going to be sent out the beginning of December. The book weighs 38 pounds and contains 400 pages. There will be handwritten never before seen lyrics and some drawings of his as well. Most Opus books cost far more. They said Michael wanted the price kept down so his fans could purchase it. I'm glad Michael was so excited at the prospect of this book.

[LianneCL]

Yeah, did you see Prince's Opus? $2,100Crazy!

[thefonkykid]

To LianneCL, iheartprincey and others who came here to trash Prince with insults, there will be others who spread the truth:

Michael Jackson was all about $ selling plenty expensive collectors items. Prince have a opus book worth 2,100$, his first big collector item ever, with no intentions to sell to kids.

MJ bought The Beatles catalog, not to make a museum about the important Lennon/Mcarthy legacy, but to sell the songs to Nike. He even sold Pepsi to little children. MJ was crazy about the $

[LianneCL]

I NEVER TRASHED PRINCE! I LOVE Prince! You ppl are idiots for thinking I was doing that at all. Did I say ANYTHING negative about him? No. I was just saying the PRICE is a bit much for us regular folk to own his Opus. Get a life!

[naturesroses]

I sure would like to have that Beatles catalog LOL.......... :)

[powersoulboy]

I agree with you funky kid, Funny how MJ fans come here trashing Prince opus book just for the sake of it, and then we get outvoted for commenting facts without insults to MJ.

We will get outvoted again, but that will not stop me for revealing the ignorance and hate and racism of some of MJ fans.

We're after you LianneCL, iheartprincey, we will even report you to You Tube. Keep givin MJ fans a good name, right.

[LianneCL]

Are you threatening me? Because that's what it looks like. Read again. I NEVER insulted Prince...I just said the price was really high. Most ppl can't afford that and I'm sure it's well worth it. I think he's amazing. And if you make any more threats I'll be the one reporting YOU.

[powersoulboy]

You are allready reported. Good luck trying to save your account.

[naturesroses]

38 pounds. My O My. I can't wait to get mine.

[mistymad2]
