Hmmm

Skipping out between lectures to buy Live 9 ut my browser keeps timing out on my shopping cart. Their servers must be running full tilt

I would love to know what the figures are on this launch ...

I paid, website down after submitting my payment, shows in my bank account I was charged website goes back up still shows items in my cart and after 5 attempts get into my account section to download what I paid for and not there but the items are still in my cart. Now i have to wait till they fix whatever website issues they're having because I can't even reach customer support because their phone support number I dialed tells me to call back later due to them being busy helping others, not even a hold option when calling so I have to juggle between refreshing the website so I can remove items from my cart so I don't get charged twice and dialing hoping to get someone at the support number.
Similar thing here. I've called my credit card company and they can see two transactions. Both are for the cost of live 9 upgrade but nothing taken for push.. When I go back to the site my cart still has both in it.. Looks like I'll be paying again in order to get the download to work. What a drag.
I can understand website quirks but to me what is unacceptable is not having a hold system on your support line, that's just cheap to me.

Well, I've been able to add it to a cart, and I've seen the "Add a box" option, and it all looks okay as far as costing what I expected, even if/when sales tax is added.

I backed out of the transaction, since this is the wrong computer (and os), but I'm looking forward to getting home, placing the order and seeing which arrives first, all 54 gig over my less-than-stellar net connection or the box in the mail.

Exactly. When Diablo III hit the streets their servers were brought to a crawl/down due to the amount of users downloading/logging into the game. Same happened pretty much with Guild Wars 2 on its launch. Don't expect a small company like Ableton to be any different so stop complaining and give it time to settle down if you haven't gotten through yet. I was able to order it but I am at work so can't snag the download yet. But I'm going to head my own sage advice and wait a day or two before attempting to get it.

So as others have said, sit back, chill out, relax, have a drink/smoke a blunt/whatever your vice is and give it a little time. For gods sake you have a WEEK in order to get through, don't you think they're working as hard/fast as they can to resolve these issues and keep the influx of cash coming?
