I just checked the Addictive Drums site and now they're offering a free expansion when you buy - apparently when you register you can pick one. I'd be interested to know if I need to feel cheated because I bought and downloaded X3 Producer yesterday (and AD too) and I don't think that offer was present on their site then. Does anyone know if this was supposed to work for Sonar editions too?

You didn't buy Addictive Drums - you bought Sonar. You aren't going to get a free expansion pack when something is bundled with another product (unless the company is out to lose money!). Be happy with the drums and don't feel cheated.

Grum.

Uhh, AD is $179 all by itself. You paid at max $150 for Sonar which came with AD and you feel ripped off? :|

You paid at max $150 for Sonar.....

Well I paid the equivalent of $192 but I'm not bitter .

Grum.

Are you serious?

I don't feel ripped off at all. I'm glad with my purchase and would've gotten X3 even without AD. I was just wondering if the free extra pack also applied to Sonar customers (since it seems we got an otherwise regular license) and if I missed it just because I installed it half a day too early.
I would feel somewhat annoyed if that were the case, which I'm sure you could understand.
By the way, Addictive Keys is on sale for like 30 bucks at Musician's Friend right now, if anyone's interested.

 Wow! Thanks for the tip Sanderxpander. Just ordered on MF.
 
This is the Studio Collection with grand, upright and Rhodes pianos. Normally $179-for $29!!
As the MF rep said to me 'Yeah, that's a crazy deal."
 
Will ship tomorrow from Kansas City boxed & I should have it here in CA by the weekend. Wonder what I'll be doing this weekend.....

There has been a lot of discussion about the best piano plug in for a good price.  I would still recommend Ivory or True Keys, but $30 bucks for Addictive is a steal.  Ivory is more than 10x as much for the three grand piano set.

Wow, this is really a great deal then. I paid a LOT more for it when It came out and I felt it was a good deal then. massive amount of control over the sounds and is very mix friendly. As a stand alone sound, I still think that Ivory is king but for 30 bucks?? 

Yeah no kidding. With shipping to The Netherlands it's 54 euros but that's still an absolute steal.
My friend has Ivory and I do like it a lot... But it's too expensive and I don't have an iLok either yet. I also have a Korg Kronos with some nice grands but it's a hassle to hook up as I usually gig with it.
Hopefully AK is a nice solution for me. A lot of it is in the playing and processing too.
