Dark Farm has a pretty good price, I paid twice that amount when I bought it. Other discounts are pretty meh, I was hoping for better.

If you're planning to buy more than one it's worth checking the prices at Don't Crack, because they give you a quantity discount up to 20%.

The price of the unit is so low that I am a little concerned about my future, but I will still continue to collect expansions.?

[Guest Heath Row]

Whish these were the prices when I purchased.

I own every expansion know to man, well know to me anyway, the count is in the 60's

I wouldn't worry about the future dude, Drew and crew have everything under control, BFD ain't going anywhere but on wards.

That is such a Larry post, I always wait a little bit before buying in case Larry has a second post. Nobody can beat Larry's ability to find a great deal... except for Larry, of course. The ?.

It seems to be $10 cheaper than other stores and about 15% cheaper if you pay in € outside of the euro zone.?

Yeah it's half of $70 and other places it's half of $90.

I have the original BFD3 and a ton of expansions. I didn't upgrade to the new one because of all the issues everyone reported.

Should I stay with what I have or is it time to go through the update process?

[jackson white]

@smallstonefan  long time BFD user. updates to BFD3 have been minor at best. any significant changes, improvements, rumours of a BFD4, etc have been very slow in coming. the only thing they've spent time on (apparently) is releasing a free player. 

-if- everything is working fine for you as is, i would -not- recommend the downgrade to the current InMusic version. the two biggest issues imo are:

1) the InMusic DRM -requires- online re-authorization every 90 days or less. it's improved since the initial rollout, but still less than perfect. if you have reliable 24/7 online access, it's not that big of a deal to reauthorize, -unless- the InMusic servers are acting up. If you do any sort of remote/location/live work, forget it.

2) Once you make the switch. -all- of your prior investment in expansions gets hijacked by the new InMusic DRM. you no longer own it per the original license and it is now only as good as InMusic's capability to support it. they seem to be living down to their reputation...

fwiw, i keep a dedicated rack mount server to run everything purchased & installed prior to InMusic. they are still the best sounding (by far) for my needs.

Thank you Jackson! ?
