Question on different Program Downloads for PT 8 LE
Here's your dumb question for the day. I'd appreciate an answer to it.
When one goes to the Digidesign Store to buy Pro Tools 8 LE, You are given a choice in a drop-down box of either buying the "Full Download" or "Shippable Box" version for $149.95 each, etc. What I'd like to know is what's the difference between the above two versions? I know the first one, "Download", is exactly what it says it is, but what is the "Shippable Box" version? I don't want to download over the internet as it is a huge program. I also see they sell a DVD disk version for $29.95 extra. I guess my question is ...."What is the drop-down box's "Shippable Box" version and is the extra $$$ DVD the only way to download the program other than over the internet?" Thanks. |

OK lets see here... 1st thing is that there isn't much difference besides the fact u'd get 1 asap or the other Shipped to u & have to wait for it(Shippable Box) As for the downloading, a Shipped hard copy wouldn't be a download; It would be a Shippable Boxed Set/Version... As for the Extra cash, my opinion is that it's not worth it but thatz really ur call... So my dum question for the day to u is, Do u wanna pay now, get now/or pay later/get later?

Re: Question on different Program Downloads for PT 8 LE
OK, So you're saying there IS some sort of hard media storage that comes with the "Shippable Box" option for the downloading of the PT 8 LE program (CDs or DVDs?) right?
I'd rather wait and have that on hand so if I ever need to reinstall it I'll have the disks or whatever handy and not have to go through the multi-hour download thing that a friend had to go through and who was not particularly happy about it. Thanks |

Actually all u have to do, & I don't understand why 1 wouldn't do this in the 1st place, but once u download it, u can save the zip to as many places as needed &/or Burn it to DVD's yourself... But to each his own I guess...

Re: Question on different Program Downloads for PT 8 LE
I can see doing the shipped box if you have a slow (dial-up or marginal DSL) connection

If you choose the "Shippable Box", you then have to buy the DVDs for $30 and pay to have them shipped.. At least that's how I understand it.. Quote:

You can also go to a Digi retailer(like GC or samash) and just buy the package for the exact same price. I prefer to have the hard copy, but that's just me.
