It's been a long while since I have been in the forum. I hope all is well with you all. I am currently running X3 and am debating on weather the upgrade, AT THIS MOMENT, is worth it. I was simply wondering what your personal experiences have been with the stability of the program and if the upgrade is worth it for ME. I am not using touch screen and I am running Windows 7 Pro...I refuse to mess with Windows 8 yet. I love X3, but the goodies that come with the new Sonar do look appealing. Thanks in advance for your input!

I'm running Windows 7 too and got no really special problems with Platinum, with the exception of a bug with Kontakt5 in non-english windows localization.
 
Platinum is stable as X3 was. Some of the new features are nice and timesavers.
The new membership program sounds good. Hopefully, Cakewalk will meet the expectations and marketing messages.
 
Is it worth? Hmm, yes I think so. But this is relative to my own perspective.
 
Is it worth to invest some money in a software that you use regulary and you want to get the best of it? If yes, buy it.

Platinum is rock solid with Win7. At some point, the 149.99 price will jump to 199.00 for Platinum. There are some new fun features (which I've only dabbled with a couple of the new features).
 
I say if you have the bank, it may be in your best interest to do it.
 
They've already had one update.

If you're currently on X3PRODUCER (you don't say which version you have) it is most definitely worth upgrading right now to Platinum as there's a short term $50 discount.  It's the equivalent of getting 2 versions, or 2 years, for the price of 1 "old style" upgrade.

Thanks fellas...I appreciate the feedback so far. One other thing...I am old school and like having a hard copy of things. Does the purchase give you an option to buy a disc, even if it's a little more? Thanks again...

Thanks Karyn...I am running the latest version of X3. I've pretty much always kept up with the upgrades...just trying to evaluate my needs vs. my wants!

The latest X3 is X3e..  but which version, Studio or Producer, do you have?  The $50 discount is only for X3 Producer owners..

Ahhh...sorry...Producer...

In which case you should definitely jump at the upgrade before the intro discount ends.
  And remember the new Producer is now called Platinum...
