Sorry, brain having difficulty. Intro pricing to follow preorder price and intro pricing is lower than preorder pricing?

Fair enough back at you really, since I didn't see it there either and had to ask why and if I should just say so.  However, to answer another question, the bonus will be around the max you can use and based on the intro (not preorder) pricing that will fall a little more than the preorder deal is even after using the JamPoints.  Just trying to be clear so people are aware of that.  So I do rescind one thing - it isn't exactly as simple as I may have stated, but I'm trying to give you the best option you have.  Weighing the wait time, demo, etc in is of course important and doesn't factor into the math, so each person will have a different perspective on what they feel is best for them (or if anything is good for them in this set of options at all)
 
Editing (less "clear as mud" about the bonuses based on another question):  Bonus will be JamPoints in the amount of around the max you could use to upgrade (30%) not free sounds and such.  Sorry for any confusion, I reread the followups after posting above.  And doing some math.  And uploading and working with those MANY audio and video files yesterday...  OK not looking for sympathy, just hoping this is more clear :)

I started reading that and two lines in all the different words just turned into blah, blah, blah....
 
can anyone translate it for me into something that sounds interesting ?

Perhaps the ST3 pre-release party beverages have been flowing already!!!

The price thing does not bother me as much as it seems to bother others. Earlier adopters tend to pay more for any software.The people who got sampletank dirt cheap got it years after the early users had already used all the sounds to death. I don't knownof any software makers that give discounts on upgrades based on how long you have owned product.

I will take demo for test and then decide

It means:  Preorder is the lowest pricing available, once released we go to intro pricing.  At that time there will be a bonus in JamPoints for long-time users.  After that, there is the full pricing structure.  I thought it made sense, rereading it now but hey I'm aware directly of all this so of course I get it!
 
Details (except the bonus part) here, which should be pretty clear:  http://www.ikmultimedia.com/news/?item_id=4109

Every other Tuesday from 9 to 11:02am PST.  Except on the west coast and certain parts of Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Thailand and Bayonne, New Jersey.  While Jam points can be used for this promotion their value will be configured on a sliding scale based on the current Federal exchange rate inversely tied to the daily average of the Dow Jones Index, the number of cramps LeBron James had in his last playoff game, the combined ERA of Whitey Ford, Sandy Koufax and that crazy pitcher who sports the giant lumber jack beard, and the over AND under on next years Super Bowl.  In order to qualify for this incentive the user must have purchased SampleTank 2 (hereafter known as ST2) on the first day of it's release, July 20th 1969, which, coincidentally was the day Neil Armstrong landed on the moon.  Employees of IKMultimedia (hereafter known as The Great Satan) and their familes can not only participate in this promotion...they've already been using SampleTank3 (hereafter known as ST3) for over 3 years now and have grown tired of it and switched back to Kontakt, Halion or even a crummy Casio keyboard from 1989.  Past benchmarks are no guarantee of future performance.  Your mileage may vary.  Objects in mirror are closer than they appear.  Look before you leap and do not eat pork as it "angrys" up the blood.  Hurry...offer is time limited and he not busy being born is busy dying.
 

Hey, we haven't published the EULA for it yet!  How did you get it??!

Thanks. I got it now.
I'll have to start checking on demos and things and see how it sounds relative to what I already have, but 33 gigs of sounds is intriguing. Also me being me see what the response is on getting to make instruments for it. I hope you can reuse the 3D pictures cause you do not want to see me try to make artwork.

This was on TV about 3:00 this morning during the 40th repeat of Sharknado...I've attempted to transcribe it as closely as memory will allow, but it WAS on at 3:00 AM...
