Wait Wait Wait,
Your telling me I have to pay for SE which is $445.00us then when I want to get the Extended (not subscription) i have to pay an extra 595.00?
If so wow. Well I guess i would love to have extended as a subscription then. And If it is ,please add. Ha La Lu Ya - to the full choirs. :)
Excellent! Between the announcement for guitars and the plus subscription, I think I'm ready to take the plunge in the VI world.
One last question (for now), Once I acquire Standard, Extended, and the Plus additions, it seems like this would be a lot of content to be running on a single computer. Will there be any provisions to split load between multiple computers?

Why does downloading the Special Edition Standard library cost 40% more than buying the DVD?
I'm curious about this too
me too
I'm very excited about this. Yes, it's funky how we can only download them "in order," but the fact that I'll be able to download extra articulations for the SE in pieces, is the difference between me stiking it out with VSL or looking elsewhere. Thank you - this is just the ticket in, just what I needed - I will be subscribing!
It doesnt' make much sense to me: the downloadable VI SE Standard Edition costs 460 EUR, versus 345 EUR of the boxed version.
Did I miss something?
Sooooo,does one NEED to own SE (the DVD version) in order to "subscribe" or does the subscription install the necessary samples?
The subscription of the SE Standard installs the necessary samples.
The subsciption of SE Standard Plus enhances your SE Standard library (the subscription-dowlnload and the DVD version)
Also,will there be a list of articulations listed for the "overdrive" libraries?
Yes, coming soon.
Might we standard special edition users have an upgrade path to the complete strings and woodwinds coming through these downloads, so that we do not need to buy articulations we already have if we were to buy the two orchestral strings packages?
Not at the moment, maybe we'll offer special time limited upgrades next year, if there are a lot of requests.
Does SE+ come with the Universal mode matrix for whatever instruments are upgraded to plus?
No, the universal mode is only availabe in the extended versions of the larger collections.
They need a lot of additional performance patches (perf-fast legato, perf-spiccato, perf-fast spiccato, perf-detache, perf-fast detache)
All included articulations of SE Standard Plus are listed here:

It's primary dedicated to all people who want to take the subscription offer, because they don't want to spend too much money at once.
The all at once download is an offer for all who have difficulties to get any shipments to their country.
Generally we do not want to take away the sales of SE Standard from our dealers and distributors.

Looks like a monthly instalment at standard interest rates.

If the SE plus subscription prices also factor in 'interest rates' in the price, which seems fair enough, might it not therefore be possible for the 'all 56 packages at once' option to be at a lower price?
Good question... [8-|]
Hello. This is a fantastic oportunity. I think that it is really a bargain. I plan to buy all 56 at once as soon as it is released. It would be really nice that you keep on adding more subscriptions to this idea. Congratulations and thank you!

Just for curiosity's sake: why would you go to spend more, buying and downloading the very same package you can get for less if shipped via UPS, DHL or so?
Do you live on an oil rig or so?

Yes, but the Standard Edition wil be either available for d/l, and will cost 460 EUR, or traditional shipping, and will cost 345 EUR.
Sic rebus stantibus, I guess SE Plus should cost less if boxed and shipped rather than downloaded.
There is something I don't understand, yet...
Hello Camolino, Zareone is right. I am talking about the SE Plus. I already purchased VSL SE. I understand the reason that Herb has pointed about VSL SE download.
I always prefer to buy boxed sets, but this is a great opportunity for us to complete our Vienna Orchestra without spending a lot of money. So I would like to know if they are going to keep on with more subscriptions in the future (some Universal mode matrix would be awesome!).
We cannot put the price to the products, we only can buy them if we want, so...as I love this idea, I can only say: keep on and thank you!
I don' t live in an oil rig btw [;)]
