Hi,
Was looking at purchasing the $799 bundle which includes:
iClone 7 / CC 3 / Headshot and Xchange (with upgrades for iClone 8 and CC4)

I'm thinking now, should I wait to see what bundle they'll offer when those new versions come out?
Since, as I understand it, they'll be discontinuing Xchange and incorporating needed features into IClone 8 and CC4
then might they be offering up a more pleasing bundle? Perhaps one with Skin Gen included for around that price?

Any thoughts from longer term users who might be more familiar with their pricing/bundle approaches?

thanks!

I think if you're going to buy it, consider the Bundle v2 version.

I don't think you will do any harm with this package.
After all, you may have to pay the same money or a little more when new programs come out.
Unless, of course, you come across a good campaign or coupon.

Thx for the reply.
Yeah, that HAS captured my eye. I kinda figure I might be regretting not getting such a bigger bundle down the line.
BUT I see in another post, a screen capture showing the same bundle $100 cheaper last month. Grrrrr.

For campaigns, you need to constantly monitor the site.
If you'd come the month before Christmas, you'd be eligible for free CC4 + iC8 with just $800 of content and software purchases (buy whatever you want).
Moreover, everything was 50% off.

Or, 15% coupons were given in Bundle packages last month.

It will definitely be in other campaigns, or if you can afford to wait for a longer time, there may be reasonable prices.

But RL's selling prices are really volatile and you certainly don't know what's going to happen a month from now.

Your current advantage is that you will have both previous versions and new versions, and you will have an extra headshot plugin.

The reason why I recommend the V2 version is that you can have both old and new versions by purchasing too many products.
It looks like you won't have any advantage other than the headshot plugin with the package you mentioned.

It costs $900 if you buy CC4+iC8+Headshot in the spring without taking advantage of any promotions.

Of course, all three of them can be sold together at a more affordable price.

To summarize briefly, the maximum amount you will pay according to the current package when the programs are released is 900 dollars without any discount.

For the first time in my life, a site makes me feel like I'm gambling when I'm shopping.

Thank you yepkoo. That was the response I was looking for.
Seriously considering the Complete Bundle v2 now. but,
Yeah, I figure that the current versions of CC, iclone and Xchange are baked into that price. 
The question is, when in Spring will they release the newer ones?
Also, do I really need the current versions after I've already gotten the newer ones? Unless, of course, the newer ones end up being buggy and I need something to fall back on.
Not a serious creator at the moment but I plan to be.



Well, that's not fun.
But that's exactly how I feel right now. No surety if buying now is the best deal OR if that best deal is right around the corner or way down the line.

Yepkoo, thanks! 
But is there a reason to do it in that order?
I just took a look. I applied the 10% coupon which I've been sitting on since subscribing the other day.
Yet, I can't purchase the DA points without purchasing the software as well. 
I imagine there's no reason why I can't buy the DA points first and then add the software to my basket followed by the coupon.

I just wanted to be sure if there was a method to your approach. :-)

The reason I say this is because I don't know if you will want to buy the products if the coupon doesn't work.
Because DA points are non-refundable.

Of course, in order to get DA points, you have to delete the products from your cart.
They use the same basket.

I meant check the coupon.
But you're right, there was a typo.

Happy Day Yepkoo!
When I checked again the price of the Complete Bundle had dropped $100. (Why is that?)
With the 10% coupon and only $900 worth of DA points I got the bundle. With leftover points.
For anyone hesitating over this approach. I purchased at least $200 to begin with so's to be sure that I WAS getting those extra points since they're not explicitly shown when checking out. Sure enough my extra points were there. 

THANK YOU Yepkoo, I'm a happy camper now. 

Again, this is awesome!
I paid less than $100 more than I would've paid for the other $799 I originally mentioned. 

But then, relatively speaking, that $799 would've been lowered as well with this approach. lol. ;-)
