  • Where have the X1 Production Suite upgrades gone?

Like a number of folk round here, I was planning to upgrade from X1 Producer to X1 Production Suite for £70, thus qualifying for the free upgrade to X2 Producer (saving £9 and gaining Z3ta+ 2). Accepting that I would not get the 'early adopter' DSF Symphonic Strings freebie, I still think this is a better deal for me.
However, when I browse the Cakewalk store, the purchase page for X1 upgrades has been replaced by the X2 pre-order page. If I search for Production Suite, I get the description and the ordering choices, but no buttons to select an order, as below.
Is anyone else seeing this? Can we no longer buy the upgrade? The original 'buy X1, get X2 free' offer ran through to Oct 31st according to the email I received from Cakewalk.

You could try contacting sales directly but you may have waited too long to purchase directly from CW.
The buy X1 get X2 free deal is still on check out some of the music retailers.

I was planning for the same. It all changed yesterday when the pre-sale kicked in. It would've been nice to get z3ta2 than DSF Strings.

I agree - but of the options, I would rather forego DSF Strings and get Production Suite - I had an email from Cakewalk which states the 'buy X1, get X2' offer runs through October 31st.


Any baker care to clarify this?

What I find MOST appalling in this situation is that the UPGRADE AND GET X2 FREE
OFFER was supposed to last until October...

AND

NOW, because they've gone into PRE-SALE they remove it?

Another BRILLIANT MOVE by the Cake Folk...

BAIT AND SWITCH...

PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN...

LOOK OVER HEAR!!!

Thanks for highlighting this, Luteman.  Another equally disappointed UK user here.

I though that someone, in some post, actually was able to locate that deal.   It just wasn't front and center any more...
