basically a subscription is *paying by installments* and the respective agreement is not intended to be canceled before it ends.

i personally cannot imagine VSL will sue you to fullfill the contract, but stopping a subscription is not the idea behind such a kind of purchase.

however such an occurrance would shed the respective light on your reliability or honesty as customer (note: i did not word it user here)

Are you sure about that? A subscription to a magazine doesn't mean you have to take it for life. Anyway, if it is the case, I have no intention of cancelling out and 'shedding light on my reliability or honesty', I just want to know if it's an option. If not, fine.

usually you subscribe to a magazine say for a year - and it is per se a continous subscription which can be terminated at certain dates with a certain deadline.

the subscription of our special edition packages is limited to a certain period / number of volumes from start.

maybe we will offer something like *the new articulation of the month* to which you can subscribe like to a magazine ... i think there would be packages for a few hundred years .. such a subscription can be terminated every year one month in advance.

I have to second what someone else has already said :

as a registered user of SE Ext and Solo Strings, I'm quite reluctant -after a lot of thinking those last days-  to buy the downloadable SE Standard + as is.... 

There are 12 Solo Strings packages, which means almost 120€ of pure waste for the Solo Strings VI owners.

I really believe that VSL should really see how unfair it would be to make some people buy so obviously the same samples twice, and take those situations into account, and offer some kind of VIP price for Standard + according to a user's registered products.

And I can't buy the "it would be a hell to set up", because this system works very well for all other products, and the "special cases" related to this specific package are not too many.... And anyway, once it's done, it's done forever.

To finish, I'm a bit sad to see that the "holiday special" is aimed at "high end" buyers only.

I was hoping some kind of time limited special offer for more modest VSL users, which might consider a smaller purchase, or the downloadable product, but it appears that only people able to invest a lot right now are taken care of. 

I've had the same thought.

Having lost a lot of articulations by moving from Opus1 to VI SE, I was hoping VSL would make such SE+ for sometime now. Having to GigaTeleport a missing trills here and there in my former scores was just a pain. I was only looking foward to get back my Opus 1 fonctionnality...

But this outragous price tag, (plus my previous problem mentionned earlier by having to get and pay all package including samples i already have thru other VI library), I sadly thinks i'll have to pass this one.

I understand the need of protecting the vsl's distributors interest that could arise by having downloadable products like SE. But in order to save the VSL-distributor relationshipis is it realy wise to downgrade the VSL-supportive costumers one. hEy, i would pay illo a more decent price to sent it to me if a SE+ box ever existed, I don't live on some deserted island (Look like a some of us are, wich justify they have to pay 40% more to get online what others could from a distributor (if that justification given earlier still stand))

I've always supported VSL, and they deserve my money which i'm willing to give them! Still, for saling a product that does'nt require shipping, packaging and midleman distributor, this is pushing a little i'm afraid....

hum.....:-(

y-

If VSL let me skip all solo strings in SE+, I can save 114

And VSL collect the rest from me

If not, I spend $0 and VSL collect $0

:)

Dowload products should be that way...let user decide what to download and what to pay.

manu, i think we didn't welcome you so far ...

though unfortunately i can only understand a few parts of your post (especially not the paragraph about loans) it is always nice to notice how someone racks ones brains over the relation between VSL, distributors and users - to my knowledge both are not too bad ...

lets see how the *samples to the desk* incentive works for certain products - others will need DVDs for the forseeable future.

if i understand right (rate of interest) this does not apply. you pay for 1 package, you receive 1 package. you pay for 5 packages, you receive 5 packages. no loan, no interest, no need to calculate something ... the final price is always the same - or i simply don't get the essence ...

if you compare it to the *get all 56 packages now* version - those guys don't keep their money at the bank and so loose, whereas VSL earns interest yield, so making this purchase a little bit cheaper is pretty fair ... no?

Hi VSL Folks!

I have a question about the download product prices.

Are you going to offer the download products in US dollar prices, like you do the regular boxed sets?  The reason why I ask is because a conversion of 460 EUROS = 673 US DOLLARS (current market value).  I see that your Special Editions Boxed sets run 465 EUROS for SE Extended advertised in US DOLLARS at $595 on you website.  See the dilemma here?

Thanks, Brian
