You are happy with the pricing? Good for the few of you. I just can't afford the upgrade at this price. And I am sad because I really wanted to get Push.

already did, but it was not my choice: I am financially forced to not upgrade.massenmedium wrote:So Push costs more than Maschine. It's a different product, you make a choice.m127 wrote:The reasoning is simple: price.

Upgrade price is too steep. Forgive me please for being unable to upgrade at this price. Really, forgive me!

But it's not just an upgrade - it's totally new hardware and that's the price. It's also optional.m127 wrote:already did, but it was not my choice: I am financially forced to not upgrade.

What does "financially forced" mean?

Merges
Thanks for quoting the below from Ableton David.
this gives me hope.
I really fell in love with Push looks and features.
Keep my fingers crossed!

Re: Post your Live 9 upgrade path and price
There are some genuine questions about the pricing, and there are some absurd entitlement issues.
Re: Post your Live 9 upgrade path and price
Definitely. I think it would be best for the Abes if they were simply upfront and straightforward so we can all make informed decisions.massenmedium wrote:There are some genuine questions about the pricing, and there are some absurd entitlement issues.
FWIW I think Live 9 is worth hella cash.

Then talk to Ableton, because they are listing this as an "upgrade": Upgrade to Ableton 9 Standard plus Push for $728. Can't pay that. Already spent $1000 in ableton products.
To me, it is an upgrade among the several upgrade options. The one with Push includes HW, but it is still technically an upgrade, a new feature in the form of hw.
"financially forced" means that I want to upgrade, but I am forced not to because of the steep upgrade price. Clearer now?
Don't get defensive please. You are happy, and you probably can afford the upgrade including Push.
I am disappointed I can't afford it, and it's just too expensive considering what I already spent: $1000.
Let's leave it at that.
In the end, if Ableton listens to the myriad posts in this thread stating the same ("price is too steep"), you would be benefited as well... or no?
Unless you are the typical fanboi who can't stand people pointing out their disagreements with companies pricings or policies?

Re: Post your Live 9 upgrade path and price
No I just think it's a bit of a strange position. You want it to be cheaper. I'd quite like that too I suppose. And?
Still don't get this "forced" business.m127 wrote:"financially forced" means that I want to upgrade, but I am forced not to because of the steep upgrade price. Clearer now?

That's not what most of this thread is about. It turns out the problem was more that the price for some was too low...m127 wrote:In the end, if Ableton listens to the myriad posts in this thread stating the same ("price is too steep"
Re: Post your Live 9 upgrade path and price
Ok, all the posts stating the steep price don't exist anymore.massenmedium wrote:That's not what most of this thread is about.

Happy now? Or not yet?
I won't follow this thread anymore as of now; don't bother.

Re: Post your Live 9 upgrade path and price
Live 8 suite was increased $100??? Huh? That's bad marketing.
Re: Post your Live 9 upgrade path and price
By the way, I sent a note to Ableton regarding the upgrade price for Suite 8 + M4L users, they said:
"Regarding the pricing, please know that existing Suite 8 owners will be offered an exclusive introductory discount on upgrades to Live 9 Suite, to be made available upon release. This introductory discount is not yet shown on the website, as Live 9 Suite is not yet available."
So, I have faith that they will do us right, I also hope they have mercy as I'm interested on buying the Push upgrade bundle which currently shows up on my account as $789.00 Ouch!!!!
