The full BFD3 pre-order was $349 according to JRR

I looked around at that site for other FXpansion stuff and they are still selling long unsupported software like Guru and DR 808
When BFD 2 upgrade went on preorder, (no download, physical copy only) Fxpansion had it about 30$ off the first week or so. Hoping for something like this again.

Yeah, any kind of a break would be nice for me.

In reality $149 for the upgrade is downright cheap, there is no way you could rent all those drums and nice mics and pres and sample all of the new content on your own for anywhere NEAR that price.

But.... im broke : so the cheaper the better!

I wish someone would at least post some pics of the new interface, I want to see if they kept the kit view or if they went the BFD Eco direction. On a completely unrelated matter, did anyone else notice you could get BFD Eco last week for $29.99!!! Its back to $99 now.

So you guys who are getting the upgrade, are you leaning towards box or download?

And I can also vouch for AudioDeluxe.com, they sell other things too, like headphones. I'm looking to get a new pair after I upgrade my video card and get some of these AAX plugs. They have the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO's for a pretty good price.

I wonder what happened to the guys who already bought the pre-order?

Broke is my middle name for the last 4 months - and I would have bought Eco at $29


I got a pair of nice DT770 pro's on eBay that had the jack screwed up - I resoldered a connector and bam just like new - I like them $86

If I get the upgrade it'll be download, as much as I'd like to have a boxed version I don't think fxpansion will go that route for upgrades. When I got my upgrade from BFD 1.5 late last year it was download only. IIRC it was 4 or 5 downloads the way fxpansion split it up. They might go that way again. Thank the deities for FIOS!

One guy over on the fxpansion forum said his bank account wasn't charged yet. I told him to check with his bank/card company and see what's really going on.

Yeah it was - they sound very clean - neutral and flat - not at all hyped like some other headphones

Most the times I'm listening to them via my Focusrite HP

I didn't know they had 2 available for download. When it came out initially, it was box only with 5 DVD's. The town I am in only had DSL at the time though, NO way I could have downloaded it!

You'd still be downloading it! I suffered with DSL years back and because it came over the old copper wire lines it was at the mercy of the weather. Local junction box up on the pole was not sealed well and every time it rained it got wet inside and my speed went down to slower than 56k dialup.
