Congrats on the purchase. And I'm a fan of Sweetwater as well. For others that may have missed it on the first page I posted the following which would save you an additional $65 off of the already low price of $399, making the price $334 w/free shipping.

Over at KVR they said to enter the code MINE at the second checkout screen. It's the one you get after you login during the purchase (code won't work on the first screen). Sure enough they knocked another $65 off. So I picked it up for $334 w/free shipping too.

not sure if i need the whole suite... as strange as it may seem, i also find too many options a bit of a hinderance.

but i'd certainly be interested in hearing from anyone who wants to get rid of an extra copy of guitar rig for cheap.

You can't. They're tied to one license.

Picked this up... had to.
$399.

I have a few bits, but not Reaktor, Kontakt, Guitar Rig, B4, Elektrik Piano or Akoustik Piano.
I think that's a pretty good price for those and future upgrade discount rights.

Made one of my workmates happy with the NI stuff I had.
Good guy going through some rough times... maybe this will cheer him up.

I got carried away, though, I got Omnisphere too.
Don't drink before buying gear. :?

Ah well... it's a long weekend. :D

They'd sell a lot more if their website hadn't been changed into such a flash-ridden heap of marketing shite! :evil: :evil: :evil:

The problem isn't his slow internet, it's him paying the 399, UncleAge says it's 335, and damn it, that's what I paid!!!

If you're talking about the NI site - I couldn't agree more! I sent a note to the webmaster to register my disappoinment, though I doubt that person will do much to fix it though. It's a frustrating mess.

Why does that matter? It won't vanish off your hard drive! :lol:
because it breaks when you upgrade your OS (new OS not supported).
