If I read the special upgrade offer correctly, my upgrade from 2014 at $99 + $49 bonus pak gives me the most rt's, midi supers and any new styles. The info is kinda different this time.
Just need a conformation I'm reading it right, Wyndham

That will get you all the new stuff to download. But $40 bucks more will get you all the new stuff and old stuff on a HD. Can't beat that. I think I got that right. Last year I kicked myself for not getting the whole package on HD.

A slightly different take on it from Dan, if you already have a few of the PG hard drives lying around, just download the plus package + 49$ bonus pak 9.5 GB download and just upgrade your esisting PG drives, easy job as realtracks sets go like 206-213 no way as hard to install as a few years ago.

You have to remember that drive at $139 doesn't include bonus paks, unless you pay the extra 49$ for it, and then there's the postage to pay as well on the hard drive + any taxes in your area.

What you are saving is $50-60 in total which will go a long way to buy a portable drive a lot bigger than 160GB if you want a portable drive.

Again to clarify, the $99 pak says download & DVD.
I'd just as soon get the DVD if that's possible

Are you sure that you get all of the new stuff? It looks like you do not get any new super MIDI tracks with this purchase.

I myself am uncertain if I even want to upgrade this year. The 2 things I was looking for didn't come out in this version although there were a bunch of good things.... I really want rewire connectivity, and real tracks to midi. however i did watch the demo video and there was a mention of a button to force to midi but i am not sure if that is the same thing, or its just it will generate some midi that doesnt match what the real track produced......

Not sure what exactly would be your qualms here -> RealTracks to midi is already supported for most of the tracks.
