I think I read somewhere last night that it will be a digital Live 9 Suite. I'm in the same boat as you. Makes sense, as all of the instruments and extra stuff in Suite are the same in 8 as they are in 9.
suite 8 box here too.
i read through the content list of suite 9 (download) and it includes all of the instruments that previously were exclusive additional content of suite 8 boxed. means everybody who buys suite 9 (download) gets ALL the content available while the boxed version only adds, well, the actual box and the physical media such as dvds and printed manual.
for those who invested in suite 8 boxed it seems like that has been a real waste of money now (especially if you got it just recently like me).
HEY ABLETON, i think the pricing policy should consider the difference between box and download owners, as there's a practical aspect as well:
if you tailor a download version for box owners that excludes the content those already have, YOU MASSIVELY SAVE DOWNLOAD TRAFFIC, that is to say 10GB instead of 55GB, if i am not mislead.
convinced? ok i stop whinig now... actually i am VERY happy about the step in the legend of ableton that is live
