I hope this doesn't turn into another Platinum vs. Gold vs. Silver thread. [*-)]I hope this doesn't turn into another PETER0302 thread!
Sorry, but I have no sympathy, most especially since Herb promised to put most of the instruments in Opus 1 not found in the First Edition on the update DVD. You're getting more than you should be asking for.
I have an open mind. Point me to a couple.@William said:
Not to be contrary, but I like some Peter0302 threads.
Whoa, Peter0302. Now it's becoming obvious you don't know what you get in the First Edition. No, there are a plethora of performance instruments in the OPUS 1 that a First Edtion owner +Update would never have. And good stuff too.@peter0302 said:
Huh?
I think I am starting to get it. The only real complaint a First Edition owner should have is if they bought either the Orchestral Cube or Performance Set and not both. Otherwise everything in Opus 1 will be in the Complete Orchestral Package + Free Update.
Therefore I propose that if you own either the Orchestral Cube or the Performance Set, you should get Opus 1 for 50% off. If you own both, you shouldn't need anything extra.
So Peter0302, now what do you think about that as you discover what OPUS 1 can give a First Edition owner, who in some cases may have spent all they had on the first edition, but must spend $2100 plus shipping to get the Pro, and/or is offered no discount on the less expensive but in some cases just as useful-wonderful OPUS 1 which costs albeit a more affordable $990, but is only sought after by 1st Ed. owners for the 25% of extra useful instruments they don't already have? Don't you think they should be given an opportunity to be refunded for the samples they would have bought twice? Don't you think there ought to be a VIP price to purchase OPUS 1?@peter0302 said:

Ok, I had asked whether that was true earlier and no one answered, and so my quick look made me think that the DVD upgrade would have everything. If you could illustrate some of the things that we future Opus 1 owners will be getting that First Edition owners won't, that might help the rest of us understand where you're coming from.
