If you click on the buy now option you will see that the card they issue has an RFID chip in it. This is from the site.
With your paid membership you receive:
- Minus Contakt RFID enabled unique membership card
So there you go. pretty weird in my opinion.
It also says that by participating with the cube you can help unlock it's "true potential" Well I think it's obvious what it's true potential is. Make Money. You can only interact with the Cube if you pay to be a part of the club. This is all fine and good but it's being advertised like it's some new great community building thing and that seems a little dubious to me.
it also says that the cube is designed to be " an interactive environment that offers a new, closer form of communication." what is so new about impersonal interactions with stars? If they really want to communicate with people and open up new forms of communication they could host ten free parties all over the world and allow as many people to attend as possible. They could give away their music for free. They get so many gigs and free music and booze why do they need to charge for it.
I guess they need to figure out away to make sure they have good retirement funds and this is some kind of push to make as much money as they can before people realize that Minus is a bunch of BS. This is to bad for me because I have been actively trying not to hate on Minus but they are asking for it with this garbage. This is some of the most annoying sh!t I have ever seen happen in techno. How alienating can you be? I mean you can't even turn the damn song off that keeps playing on the site.
I guess it's time to start boycotting Minus again.
