I agree with the sentiments shown in this thread. I had Opus and then paid for the same samples again with VI SE. Now I am expected to pay more than a new (bundle) customer to add the PLUS library!?

I'm also in the same position as Justin and feel the same way. The bottom line is this. If the Plus package was available at a discount to existing users I would buy now. As it is I shall wait and see if I really need it, in the meantime VSL could have made a sale and have the money in the bank now instead of hoping I might buy at a later date. I suspect that a number of people are in the same position.

please do not post such a misleading information - the upgrade from opus (38.000 samples) to the Special Edition (75.000 samples) is EUR 390.-
the price for opus 1 has been ~ EUR 900.- (or during the sale at least EUR 725.-), the price for additional 37.000 samples is 390.-, so i can't find something with that beeing a bad deal ...
btw: it seems you have not registered your Special Edition Extended library yet ...

people at VSL have said on those forums that THERE WILL NOT BE a hard boxed package for SE upgrades
manu, i can't remember such a statement, actually martin announced that SE PLUS will be available on DVD - AFAIR the only respective answer has been, that users who have downloaded the Orchestra SE PLUS sections cannot receive a DVD later (because the license is different)

Some companies are fair (ie Toontracks) some aren't at all and seem to behave erratically (ie VSL).
If VSL guys don't make us an offer in the next weeks, I'm done with this company.
now noticing your last lines (not the first of this kind btw) i'm asking myself if this is a request or a tactless try of blackmailing ... at least it is not the style of conversation or consideration one would usually tend to listen to ...

no plans for a DVD currently
and not *there will never be a Special Edition PLUS on DVD*
btw: if you'd ask now *will the concert guitar be avilable on DVD* my answer would be *no plans for a DVD currently*

So yes; I've changed my mind. I don't think that it is forbidden to change minds?
