Whiners who whine about whiners are still.... whiners, right?!

There is a difference between a whine and a rant.

Whine or Rant - online; what possible differences could there be?

A very interesting read this thread. Although I think anyone that believes that music is a cheaper hobby than golf has maybe forgotten just how many purchases they have actually made....

I'm not frustrated by the pricing policy.  However I did buy X1-X2 upgrade on Aug 31st for $100.  Literally the next day, the same offer was $50... I emailed Cakewalk and explained that I bought the software one day early.  No dice.  Oh well, now I'm waiting for another good offer to upgrade to X3. 
 
Have to admit that X1 had a "d" patch and X3 has a "d" patch - X2 had only an "a" patch and is less stable for me compared to X1d. 
 
I'll just wait until another $50 upgrade offer comes for X3.  Sonar for me is my hobby, not my career.

There was an awesome deal on X3 Studio to X3 Producer last month, it may have included X2 Studio - I think it was $149, that deal shut me up the f%^k, that's for sure!

im sorry but im not sure I believe this posts, more than 10 times I have witnessed people saying the same thing and seen someone from cakewalk chime in and say please PM me (they have made special arrangements for customers who are a few days away from sales like that)
so you either didn't email the department or didn't keep up here on the forum.
cake understands this happens and I've seem them make exceptions on many occasion's.
 

People will complain about $50-150 upgrades and yet go to the bar, or have the best cables or wireless packages. One always have a choice not to buy a product.
