    I bought Komlete 10 for about $700 (Canadian) about 1 year ago and now they are offering a sale for $250???!! Wow....what a way to treat your loyal (previously) customers. Make them pay more. What a waste of $450! Wont be buying anything else...

    They do that every year, just before releasing the next version

    If you have been using it, let's say 2 days per week, or 100 days now, then it has only costed you $7 per use. That's cheap!

    Did you buy it new for $700? Because this sale is only on upgrades/crossgrades.

    I took the "smart" route. I waited. I can only speak for the Kontakt software. Having fiddled with Kontakt Player for a year or so I had already made up my mind to get the full version. The $400 price tag made me choke a little, but after I took advantage of their Fall sale I can see why. It's real good software. It's a good marketing strategy to dangle the proverbial carrot once in a while to draw in consumers so they can experience the product at it's full potential. I see nothing wrong with that. There's always going to be that "one" customer that gripes about price/cost of something that missed that one small window of opportunity. Happens all the time. The bottom line is that they're not really mad at the company for the high price, but at themselves for missing that window.

    Where can I get Komplete 10 for $250!? I'd do that in a heartbeat.

    (BTW - $700 Canadien today equals approx $520 US. And that $250 you speak of would be about $335 to you. See? I just saved you $85 of anger.)
