Thanks for the tip.
 
Is this the same stuff as from this post from the other day?

Okay, for the price, I had to jump on this. Thanks for the heads up on this sale.
 
FWIW: I believe the X3 version of Lounge Lizard is the Session, which is a version 3. I have both and the session v3 clips less than 4. But 4 has more models?
Anyway, I'm looking forward to trying the two pianos as I really don't care for the ones in DimPro (I have the DSF Vol. 01 & HD Yamaha C7). The ones that come with IKM's SampleTank are better than DimPro IMO and easier to practice with, but nothing that grabs me as a 'must play'.

A couple of questions for you that already own this Promo Pack, have you upgraded it with the Yamaha Electric Grand yet and do you know if XLN ever puts it on sale?

I just noticed on their site (XLN Audio) when you buy the Studio Collection you get the Electric Grand for free! Hope this valid for the price we paid. It just got better!

I think you will find they will say because the purchase was at a discount, the Electric Grand is not free.

Yes, and it offers 2 options - Download, or select a dealer which has MF in the list of links.
So I would think that the Electric Grand for free is included with the MF purchase.
We'll soon see.
 
Waiting for mine to arrive, hope it doesn't take to long make it all the way down here.
 
Cheers - Cliff

I checked the Addictive Forum - someone else had asked the same question and although it doesn't say so on their website (well I didn't see it) Addictive said it was not free to people who had purchased at a discount  -  I am sure one could argue this but it was a very very cheap deal....

A couple of thoughts here...
First, XLN is offering it at a discount.
And second, do they even ask how much you paid for it when you register?
 
It just seems as though it would go by when you bought and registered it more than what you paid for it (as long as you bought it new).
I won't know for sure until I download, install and register it when the media box comes in.
But I certainly won't turn it down if it is offered. (Besides I like the Electric Grand sound, especially nice through effects like something from Peter Gabriel)

Ha, the site has fully changed now. Apparently, I caught it in the middle when they hadn't taken off their discounted price. Banner went up first, details to make it right came soon after. It now definitely says that discounted prices don't qualify and they changed the price they had last night  from 149.00 back to the 179.00 full price.
Guess I'll just have to wait for a killer deal on the E. Grand now. But that shouldn't be hard. :)

Just installed my Addictive Keys.  The piano is awesome.  Better than I imagined it would be.  Very soulful and responsive.  This was a great purchase.

My came in the mail last night.  For $29 this is a real no-brainer.  And it really is the full version of Addictive Keys with Studio Grand, Upright and Mark One.  The package just had a serial number, and a CD which contained an installer to download the program and some tutorial videos.  But since I already had Addictive Drums installed, the same installer was already on my system, and I just had to enter the serial number and do the download, which I am doing right now.  
 
Don't know if this will replace my assortment of SampleTekk pianos; doubt they will.  Still for this bargain price, it is nice to have some more quality pianos that are so easy to tweak.  I already had the free 49key StudioGrand and the handfull of presets. They sound great.  Look forward to hearing the remainder of the 88 keys and the other presets.   
 
Don't know how they sale it for only $29, but it is one of the realist no-brainers I have seen.
