I really wish companies would announce what their Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals were going to be ahead of time. I've been putting aside some cash specifically for whatever deals may be coming up, but I just read about, and watched ALL of the available videos on, XOSPHERE and I really want it. If I preorder in the next 7 (!) hours I can get it for $50 off. Not a huge savings, but valuable enough for someone like me. Even with the $50 off it's a $250 purchase and that almost completely depletes the amount I've allotted myself for this year's sales. Grrrrr!

A $250 kontakt library of pads.  really?
 
I don't really think so.  you cannot import your own samples into the interface. 
 
for the amount of money I would rather invest in a vst synth that I could do so much more with.

Well, if you watch the overview video you'll see that it's definitely more than just a collection of pads. However, I do agree that $250 ($300 now) is a lot of money, especially for hobbyists and semi-pros. I ended up not picking it up at this time anyway, since I know that I'll regret not having the funds when all of the sales start.
