Well, I just ordered the X3 Studio version (upgrade); I have both X2 Studio and Producer licenses.... I figured the Studio version is the safer (cheaper) upgrade risk at this point, so I'll be keeping a close eye on my email and CW account for the links.  Of course, if Sweetwater jumped the gun, " a few minutes" could still mean sometime next week. 
 
With all the interest, the CW site has slowed to a crawl.  I can only imagine what will happen once the mass downloading starts...
 

I'm sure the download servers are not the same as the forum or main site servers. It seems they are making changes to the forum as well as preparing to change the store and the main site as well.
 
That combined with all of us who are lurking around waiting to see when its ready is probably the cause of the sluggishness.

That would be my fear. I'm just going to wait until I can buy it direct through the Cakewalk store. Coffee anyone? : P

That's not the correct price for X2 Producer customers.

Thanks Andrew. The $199 gave me a scare there for a minute. I want to download X3 but I'd also like the box set too? How much more will it cost?

I never got an email that it was coming..just saw some speculation on the boards here.  Is there an official list of new features floating around somewhere?

$29.99 to add the box. Will be available tomorrow as well.

 
PLEASE READ:
 
If you buy a digital download from Sweetwater and are given a redemption code, it will NOT work until it is available on our end. You WILL be told the key is invalid until then.
 
I just want to mention this in case anyone runs into it.
 
 
Edit: Codes are now active :)

It's going to be this AM east coast time. It's coming really soon. And you'll be able to buy it from Cakewalk, Sweetwater and other music retailers around the world. We definitely appreciate the interest and we want to get this to you really soon.

 
Card in hand. Coffee is brewing. Waiting patiently.... HURRY UP!!!!

Thanks Andrew. I'm going to D/L from the Cakewalk store. Is there a time limit as to when I can add the box set? I didn't realize it was $29.99.
