Still sounds like a good deal to me ... I paid more than that to upgrade from Suite 7 to Suite 8 (£175), and expect to pay around the same to upgrade to Live 9 when it arrives.

Egh, it's not a terrible deal at that price, but there is really nothing unique there that is not easily replaceable by other instruments. Operator, Sampler, and Amp would be nice to have, but FM8, Kontakt, and Amplitube can more or less fulfill those needs for me, and the AAS instruments, while they would be cool to have, are worth no more than $10-15 each in my book. Just my opinion. Yeah, I'm a tough dude to please. :)

To be fair, I am going to re-evaluate the instruments in Suite and see if it's worth the updated price, as having the "integrated" versions of those instruments would be cool, but it will be a MUCH tougher sell to me than it would have at $116.

Super discout must have been a glitch, prices gone up since last time I looked, now the discounts are accurate at 33%.

Oh well, never mind.
Damn!
I saw that too and didn't pull the trigger, what a loser I am! :(

Kudos to those who got in on that deal.

I actually clicked on the buy button, then it told me that my session expired (this was in all of 15 seconds of ordering). Went back and all the prices changed.

I'm not too happy... :|

edit: this was a few hours ago.

Now I will pass.

congrats to the wise people who quickly bought their upgrades while the going was good! :)
i wonder if someone gets fired for this error ?
i imagine they lost a few thousand euros over this

emailing them to see if theyll sell you an upgrade for the glitch price is pretty cheeky though! :lol:
