nah , I'll buy it boxed in the UK if possible as it works out cheaper. (+ supports UK economy also ;-) )
 
 

Et Cetera should have it soon I believe.

speaking of boxed versions one of the UK biggies is still listing sonar x1 and x2 and no sight of x3 (digital village)
 
I'd rather buy / support a local shop.

I agree, but unfortunately buying from DV is no longer supporting a local shop unless you happen to live near the only one they haven't closed. :( Following what seems to have happened there, having been a loyal customer for many years I no longer feel inclined to purchase from them. I also read that any money they make is chanelled through Germany, so it's not even supporting the UK economy by as much as it should be.

so I just purchased the download version from sweetwater and I opened my online invoice and see an activation code on it will they send me a downlaod link?

Just got my big Sweetwater ProGear catalog for Winter 2014, and they're still advertising X2 (p. 432), no mention of X3. Strange for Sweetwater, they're usually on top of their game. Maybe trying to clean out the rest of their X2 stock first?

I'd not realised they'd closed etc. http://www.absolutemusic.co.uk/community/customer-services/dv247-closes-7-of-its-8-stores-is-bought-out-by-german-company
 
last thing I bought was in March, last time I spoke to them and they wouldn't price match with guitar guitar and the bloke selling didn't care.. so I did have words with their head office. guitar guitar in glasgow were far better.
 
there are a few places in London (if thats where you are) that are still around , decks in cricklewood being one and studiospares in neasden. I am needed to get 2 upgrade for my other DAW stuff,  so will go shopping / price matching. It's not their fault they got bought out by a german company , I was hoping they'd all learn from with what happened with turnkey years back and keep the stock levels very low... least some of the staff still have jobs.
 
 

Just got off the phone with Sweetwater - they won't have the boxed copies till mid month so I canceled my order.  I'll just order the DL thru CW I guess.
