We've seen some expensive musician-related iPods before but Prince trumps them all with the Prince Opus. The purple one is selling a limited-edition iPod Touch for $2,100. The iPod is loaded with a 40-minute concert video and 15 songs from a live soundtrack. Only 950 Prince iPods are available and they are being sold with a book of Prince photographs from high-end book publisher Kraken Opus.

For one deep-pocketed and devoted fan there is the Prince Opus Number One, a unique one-off artwork of ultimate purple luxury. The book has an alligator skin binding with sterling silver artwork and purple silk lining. A diamond-encrusted rendering of Prince's symbol is one the cover. The platinum piece includes 21 round brilliant cut diamonds and five rare purple diamonds totaling 7.7 carats. The piece can be detached and worn as a pendant. The Number One will be exhibited and will be auctioned off later this year.
