I've been thinking of going ahead and doing the "regular" Komplete 8 upgrade (I'm currently on the latest version 7).  As I've been looking around the web I see it's "no longer available", "out of stock", or not even listed at many places.  Got any info on this???
 
 

I would not put it past them to calculate (with precision) exactly how many units they will sell in 8 months and produce exactly that amount.

Don't know but I just bought the upgrade for $199.99 

At this point I am waiting until 9.

Yup...I'm sure it's coming in a month or two (as has been their pattern).  That's why I was hoping I could get a deal on 8 regular since it's being discontinued.  There's really not much in 8 Ultimate I want or need...unless they throw in the new Klavins piano.  But it seems certain I'll need to upgrade to Kontakt 5 and if I'm going to do that I'm just looking for the most bang for the buck route.

That's a good point.  They probably are only going to add content for the next bundle. 

Their 50% summer sale should be imminent(July?). Best Buy should have it in stock. Their music store venture was a bust.

Well, all the upgrades are still available from NI directly.
 
Seem more likely that they are phasing out or reducing the upgrade offers from select "middlemen".

Me too!  I have been waiting on NI to make the big sales right prior to Komplete9.  I don't really need anything, but would like to have Kontakt5, GR5 and maybe a few other of the Kontakt instruments, but have been fine at just waiting for the liquidation of K8 that would normally take place a few months prior to the announcement of K9.  Let us know if you find it for a bargain.  

Well, I got the Komplete 8 upgrade (regular) for $175 today at my local GC...they had two left.  I'll keep ya posted as to how that goes.  One question I have for anyone else who upgraded their Komplete 7 to 8...do I just need to load in the stuff that's updating or I don't already have (I sincerely hope) or do I have install the whole dang thang again????
