MF has Samplelogic Cinematic Guitars for 99 bucks....Oh, Bit????

How's about it? I'm picking up Air Expanded for the same price.

Sigh. Too many ways to spend a hundred bucks today!

olpal, I ain't Bit but whatta deal!

AIR was $79. Must have been a price drop.

$759 worth of software for $180.

Again, thanks for posting this.

I ordered the box and selected free shipping by horseback, so no instant gratification today. Oh well, at least I won't have to make a backup when it arrives.

Hey, Laney, here's a cool video to whet your appetite while you're waiting for the UPS sleigh to arrive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gB0oDEn2qwk&feature=related

Apparently, Musician's Friend uses a service called UPS Mail Innovations. The "innovation" is that UPS picks up the item and then mails it. The result: 8 business days to transport a package 800 miles instead of the usual 3 or 4. I hope some junior executive at UPS got a fat bonus for coming up with that inspired concept.

FEDEX invented this. Here's how it works:
 
FEDEX picks up at Sweetwater in Ft Wyane, IN (for example).
FEDEX drives the package to the Indy FEDEX Hub.
It goes on a plane.
The plane comes here.
It goes to FEDEX hub locally.
They give it to the Central Post Office.
The Post Office sends it to my PO.
The mail carrier delivers it.
 
Only takes 5 or so years to get here.
 
I love it. Not.
 
BUT it is free.
 
 
And mine doesn't get here til Monday and I live in Ohio. It shipped from KC. Go figure.
 

This must be a recent "innovation". Everything I've ever ordered from Sweetwater showed up in a FedEx truck and even large items took only 4 or 5 days to arrive. 

I like FedEx. I have a gate across my driveway with "beware of dog" signs - intentionally unfriendly - that UPS drivers won't open. They just drop packages off at the gate (imagine finding your new $1k microphone in a rain-soaked box in the grass! True story.). But FedEx opens the gate and comes on in, armed with doggy treats in their pocket. 

The good news is that the order tracker reports the package is here in town at the main post office, so it's at most 2 more days till delivery. I wonder: how the heck does Netflix give me a 1-day turnaround when I send their movies back?

Got mine today!

Well, you have to laugh :-)
 
After I saw this thread, I went to MF and checked out the deals, then over to samplelogic and checked out everything there.
 
MF had a whole bunch of the samplelogic stuff on "Extreme Discount" - Fanfare, Rumble, AIR too.
 
So I decided I was going to grab the while domn bunch while I had the chance at that price ... but had to visit the back and transfer some money before I could buy ANYTHING.
 
I did that ... then logged on my PC, went to MF, loaded up my shopping cart, and as I was going through the purchase "POW" from my browser ... message says "Your Session Has Expired".
 
Damn it !, I had to start over ... and guess what ?.
My session expired because they ended the specials while I was in the middle of my purchase ... it all went back to the standard price.
 
 
So ... I have NO samplelogic coming now :-(
 
I'll be keeping an eye out for specials on their stuff though !.

That is one sad story, Cliff. You've got my sympathy. I'd been waiting a long time for SampleLogic to have a real sale. Previous promotions had been like 10 or 20% off, not enough for me to afford their stuff. So this $99 deal was a wish come true, and I am indebted to yorolpal for tipping me off to it.

I finally got mine, too. Had some frustration with the installation, though. Turns out you not only have to be Administrator, but if you start the install while not Admin the installation will fail but report success. You won't know that it has failed until you attempt to load an instrument. I had to remove the library, log in as Admin and start over. 

Confirms once more that copy protection just serves to inconvenience legitimate customers.
