Yes, I will (the 15th :-)
FYI - I believe it is not either or. Order and you can download before you get your discs IIRC.
Also in another thread per Andrew from CAKE:
"And you will also get SONAR X2 Producer first, before it goes on sales to the general public."

I was on the fence about going for the upgrade-get-the-update-free deal, upgrading to Production Suite as it's the only thing I can upgrade to, even though I have Producer Expanded and Z3TA 2 already... just to get the expander/gate module. The X2 presale has wiped that possibility off the map, as the production suite upgrade is gone from the store along with everything else X1. Oh well.
I will definitely get X2 fairly early on; it looks great from where I'm sitting. I haven't decided about the pre-sale yet, I have a strong su****ion the Strings pack will not be a big motivator for me - I get along with the Kontakt strings (VSL subset) pretty well and am not looking for another probably not particularly fabulous string set; the demo I just listened to didn't help much. If anyone gets it running and is blown away, let me know!
For those of us who went ahead and upgraded to Production Suite with the understanding that it would include a FREE upgrade to X2 Producer...they have changed the webpage where we ordered it from. It no longer says..."Purchase X1 Production Suite and get a free upgrade to X2 Producer". It has been changed to this page... http://cakewalknews.cakew...a.UC72kQ.UDAecA.QwbCQg This is copied from the exact same link that took us to the "Upgrade to Production Suite" page we bought the upgrade from just days ago. It obviously has been changed and does not even mention Producer or Expanded...it starts with 8.5 and goes backwards. I'm also concerned that my $100 upgrade does NOT show up in my "Purchase History" section on my account page...although every other purchase I have made is listed there. I hope I'm just being paranoid here about the "Free" upgrade to X2...but it does look kinda suspicious.

I also bought Production Suite and was hoping for the Free Upgrade.
Don't see any reason why it won't happen,lot's of us saw the offer.
Perhaps someone would care to clarify the position.

I ordered a copy but not the physical media. Am hoping they have got thoughtful download methods this time. For those of us who already own dimension/beatscape disks etc- not forcing use to download mega gigs of samples simply to get to the core program.

That was confirmed to me on the phone by Cakewalk sales today. Sadly I missed it, but you should be good to go.

Seriously? Hmmm. Any other reports? Anyone care to post a track or two? I wasn't overly whelmed with the official demo track...

I'll wait, order it from Sweetwater for the same price Cake is offering it, and get the DVD's for free. I can live without the string package.
I just can't wrap my mind around why people would pay $30 extra for DVD's from Cakewalk, when everyone else gives them to you for free? You could put that money toward a future PC Module or something useful.
Oh well, not my money ...
$30 for the dvd's is a ripoff. All of that cost is figured in to the cost of X2 already ... it's not like they print the boxes and burn the DVD's on demand ... they are already printed, sitting in a warehouse waiting to ship, and have been paid for already and that cost has been figured in to the selling price of X2. I could see $12 (like it used to be) or even $15 ... heck, I might even spring for $20 ... but $30? Really? No thanks.
