this place is sure boring compared to "upstairs"

Thanks for the heads up

 
 
It will be interesting to see how it pans out over this first year, but even more so in the following year.
 
If my membership had just expired, I must be honest and say I would not have renewed on the strength of the Braintree upgrade. There's a few nice things like the new impulse responses for ReMatrix, but not enough to have persuaded me to pay for another year.
 
I am a little concerned by the introduction of time-limited stuff like the Hardgroove loops, as it would appear that this might be Cake's method of dissuading customers from allowing their membership to lapse. I was under the impression that whenever one bought into Platinum, you would immediately be entitled to everything that had gone before, or something like that.
 
After my initial optimism with the new model, I have to say I've found the first month's offerings a little underwhelming. But hey, it's early days and they have another eleven months to win me back.

 
Beep, I think the names they are using are places in and around the Boston area, and I'd assume they're going in alphabetical order. I know the first version started with 'A', now we have Braintree.
 
I suppose they have to call them something to distinguish them from each other.

Kind of silly but whatever works. Baps and I were discussing people referencing build numbers for communicating on the forum for the new model but this has a little more character and probably easier to remember/recognize.
 
As far as what is and is not included when you buy back in after a lapse I asked about this as soon as they released Braintree. If you go to the monthly release page where it is showing all the new stuff (and previous stuff) anything on the list that says "Only Available Though Braintree" (or whatever the wording is) is the stuff that would be missed out on. Everything else you would get.
 
HOWEVER they also said that those particular items would eventually be made available in the store for people to buy if they missed out (so you could buy the Hardgroove stuff a la carte if you wanted to). They only mentioned the stuff for this month though. I commented that that should be the permanent model so that late adopters/lapsers have the option to get EVERYTHING if they are willing to pay a premium after the fact.
 
It would be like having the option to purchase the old X2 Content Club after the fact if you bought in too late... except this stuff looks better.

I love air hockey and table tennis (ping pong)!!!
 
Anyone for a game?

Hockey combined with ping-pong would be interesting.

Is that what they play in Hong-Kong?

Now that I think about it, I think ESPN2 has Japanese Samurai Ping Pong late at night. It tested out better with audiences than Sumo Ping Pong. That was a bit disturbing. 
 
Speaking of things that end up in unfortunate places, is this thread okay now?

My fault. Sorry.
