Price of Upgrade to Live 8 is 50% more expansive than previous upgrades....

Why?

Inflated scarf prices?

there's more stuff in this upgrade...

more stuff? How do you figure? Basic upgrade, you don't get Corpus. You get a few more plug-ins, a groove feature, group tracks, a new means of warping. Personally, this upgrade will be more easy for me to incorporate into my set as it already stands than other upgrades have been. Which is not a complaint, just (for me) an indication that nothing too dramatic has changed. But I'd like to hear what you were referring to.

I upgraded to Live 7 last November and now have to pay 149€ for Live 8?
this is just lame…
ok whatever, 7 is fine.

+1 October for me........Gettin' kinda pricy aren't we?

OK i'll upgrade like a good little abletoner

how is possible that when trying to order the live suite after removing latin percussion from my shopping cart goes from $259 to $388? seems like it ought to get cheaper not more expensive.

Was looking forward to buying this tonight but it looks like that price is holding me off. That is a lot of cash for an upgrade. The program costs $500 bucks. $190 for the upgrade? I hate to say that for the first time I am pissed off about the price of an upgrade for Live.

I feel the same way Mike.

I emailed the abes for those coupons that were sent out to long time users a while back. YEAH the one I NEVER GOT!

Been on-board since ver. 4!!!


Even WITH the coupon this is an expensive upgrade

I agree... upgrading is not top priority for me, so I'll wait...

beta was awesome and i thought i was gonna buy it from the get go, but at the price its at i dont think i need to upgrade afterall!

I feel the same about the upgrade price, even with the coupon. Looper is a must have for me, and the new feature I liked most (with info fields !) but I can't afford it now and will wait for the most important bugs to be ironed out.

Are you guys serious?

Eating in a good restaurant with 4 people 120 bucks min
Having a nice evening with your love or partying hard ... 100 - 200 bucks min

Or to make it more music software topic:

1 Good Reverb plug 300 bucks

So is it really that much?

the basic 7->8 upgrade is way too expensive. and an extra 30 euro for the manual. is it bound in unicorn skin?!

i already paid for Lite4->5 Full, 5->6, and 6->7. I'm not dropping 150 euro for this one. this will force people towards running cracks. it is not like they're not making enough money already.

boo!

I agree with you all, as much as I love Live as an environment to work in, it really is one of the more expensive options out there. hey ho
