None of my friends, acquaintances or colleagues are going to buy CreamWare cards. I want a free plugin too...

I hate those "promotions". European contests are usually won by europeans as american contests are won by americans. This is not a racist statement, it seems however to be a fact of life.

Paul, just in case you referred to my statement: it's ironic.
A plugin doesn't cost CW anything but a copy and a (possibly) manual.
It be cool though if they don't show up with new boards in the near future...

I wouldn't mind new boards. As long as the present ones get more affordable and software stays compatible...

Not quite true. giving away a pluging for free, prevent the guy who wins it from having to buy it himself, which he might have done if he hadn't won it. So CW (potentially) loses money on it.

don't think so. The new customer needs even more plugins...

Now I understand!!!

The SHARC is for eating your money!
Thats the best that CW cards do...

Anyone does know anything about that "promotion" to register P2 card and get for FREE the POISON synth?

If you go to your shop, does it charge more than the price that is stated at CW for your device in that action?

Keymusic let me pay 300€ more on the PulsarII-Luna2496 combo last year. 300€ is quite some money to pay extra unexpectedly.

What your experiences?

atomic they charge more becuase the shop has to pay Tax and the price that creamware offers the shops directly includes german tax so in effect you end up paying 2 lots of tax on these offers.

when i got my scope srb bundle I got it direct from creamware and paid the price it was listed at (this included german tax).

I called my local distributor in london and they told me I would have to pay uk VAT ontop of that price if I wanted to purchase it from a local retailer. seemed very odd

Strange, that CW bypasses it's dealers by these cheaper offers.

And stupid me for not buying from CW directly.

If I had known earlier... ok, KeyMusic can't help this problem but how about them:
-selling me Cubase 5.0 without asking my 3.7 dongle? I have 3 dongles now.
-selling me an Emagic AMT8 'cos everyone uses it' for Cubase
-giving me a PulsarII Classic I/O, no Z-Link for the Luna24/96 and arguing it connects optical. I should have verified in the shop.

So everybody looking for bargains should order in the CW Shop? Will it be cheaper for all?

Can one buy hardware from CW shop? I've only found software there.
