Here's a little info on Truepianos: http://www.vpiano.net/trupianos%20review.htm.  It combines sampling and modelling which I think is a great approach.  Truepianos was a boon for me on my laptop because of the quick loading and low resource usage, but the Addictive Keys seem to work just as well for me.  
 
I keep trying to slim down my VSTi collection, but as you say, resistance is futile!  Especially at $29!

Yes I am probably going to pick this up before the end of the week. Thanks for the clarification on True Pianos. For the price of a half a tank of gas I can get Addictive keys. Now that is cheap.

Marcus,
Know money doesn't grown on trees, only in the FED.
Purchased my copy last month on Stupid deal of the Day.
Put up the link on another forum and it was gone in one day.
MF does that on SDOTD.
Not sure on this one...

Thanks fb.Seeker
 
unfortunately for me I need to wait until my next payday. which means  by that time I may be paying more.

I'm in the boat with you all. It was refreshingly obvious this was a must purchase. Will fill the spot I needed for a good piano sound.

I just ordered this.  While I have several other keyboard programs, I like XLN's Addictive Drums and thought I would give this a try for this no brainer price.  So, I just ordered.  I have a question:
 
Is this a download delivery?  It looked like it was standard shipping, but I did not notice the shipping options when i placed my order.  So did you guys get a download delivery or hard copy by mail?

Hard copy that is 100% worthless :). They mail you a little DVD sized case. You open that to find a paper with your serial and a DVD. Ahh ok, the samples are on that. Ummm... no. That contains XLN's online installer, that you already have (or can get free on their site), no samples. You feed it your key and register, and then download the samples. No I don't know what they get out of doing it that way either.

Well it may be a goofy system but I'm not gonna complain about it after all, they GAVE us Addictive Drums with X3, and only charged $29 for a full piano program with three great sounding piano sample sets... 

I just saw on the XLN site that you get the Electric Grand for free by purchasing the Studio Collection.
So four great pianos for $29.00?

I would imagine that offer is only for the full $179 retail package (even though technically the $29 "promo pack" contains the same 3 pianos).  I haven't heard of anyone buying the $29 pack and getting the Elec. Grand for free....Still, It can't hurt to ask.

The $29 Studio Collection (MF sale) gets you the Studio Grand, Upright & the Rhodes.
The Studio Collection + free Elec Grand (XLN sale) will cost you something like $149.
