    Me too J.
    Especially after NI trying to hit me 50% to upgrade from Guitar Rig 4 to 5.

    Great to see Cake hasn't gone nuts.

    I can handle $99, but I sure hope they have some Pro Channel fixes in there.

    Is this where we start whining that despite their apparent ability to write tens of thousands of lines of complex 64bit code, CW still can't do the basic math to convert USD to UKP?

    Hmm...  $99.  That's exactly how much I just had to spend for Toyota's Service Department to tell me they recommend $2,400+ in additional repairs to my $2,000 car (which, naturally, I don't).

    I think that money could have been better spent, ya?

    The currency exchange for £79 is roughly $125.34 (similar rate  for Euro's). Since it's $99 in the US for X2 Upgrade, is the difference amount due to the Value Added Tax (VAT)?

    I refuse to be drawn into this debacle bebate again.  VAT in UK is currently 20%  but we're being charged 25% more than THE REST OF THE WORLD, so they can't claim (like they keep trying to) that it's due to VAT.

    UKP Euro USD 100 127 157

     
    I noticed that. I just assumed that the exchange rate was equal between the dollar and the euro. I shoud have learned by now to not assume anything. I told a boss once that "I assumed...". He asked me to spell assume then told me that when I assume, I make an ass (out of) u (and ) me.

     I missed it too, slow I guess.

     I remember when the GBP was a better bargain than the dollar not long ago. The pound must be falling.

    Art died about 10 years ago. He was a night time DJ on WLS out of Chicago in the 60s, before FM radio, before most everything. WLS could be heard by most of the country at night and Art was really awesome. A true legend.

    There are a few clips at the bottom. "Whopper Waffles" was just some cray thing he said... along with a bunch of other funny stuff. I grew up listening to him,Ron Riley, and John R. (on WLAC) John played 60s RnB sponsored by Earnie's Record Mart in NAshville, TN.
    Those were magical days and nights.

     Maybe a revision in pricing is in order. Seems they made a boo boo.

    that's exactly Karyn's beef (if I may be so bold to complain on her behalf).  it's been that way for years - since the beginning of cake time in Europe.  they've always charged Europeans more for sonar than US and the only explanation they give is VAT, but the numbers do not justify that difference.
     
    they have also stated they do not plan to change the pricing for Eurporean customers.  they are stuck with the higher pricing.
