PG Music Home Forums PG Music Product Forums Band-in-a-Box for Windows confused over upgrade options

Hi I have BIAB and RB purchased in 2009, including realtracks sets 1-66 and realdrums. On the 2010 upgrade options there is a $69 upgrade from 2009, and this includes 'MegaPAK RealCombos' but I can't find any detail on what's included in these? Hopefully the new realtracks sets and new realdrums? That would make for a Happy Christmas.

If not.... Ideally, I want to upgrade to 2010 and also get one or more of the new realtracks paks(67 to 82), but I can't see an option for that... anyone know the best way? Do I have to buy the upgrade and paks seperately? Getting the HD is not really an option - I live in the UK and will have to pay $5000 dollars and my house just to get it into the country

thanks

hi Peter,

thanks for the quick reply, and thanks for all the new music-making opportunities!

kind regards,

Martin

Hi

This is a big problem for us in the UK and this is why i will only download as when i have asked for CDS or DVD the revinue tend to take what ever the Dollars are and turn them in to pounds then add the VAT and then add import duty and when its finished its double the price

when you check all the URLS that you where given it still does not anwser the problem of just buying the 2010 updates and the new RT and DT if you buy the megapacks for $139 it will be nearly twice that in the finish and you get a lot of what you already have

regards Dave Hoskins

Hi Dave,

yes you are right, it doesn't work for me cost-wise so I'll have to choose either to upgrade or get one of the three new realtracks bundles. Don't like compromises! Having the option to get one of the RT bundles at a reduced rate with the upgrade would be better. Plus it's only a matter of months since I bought 2009 anyway so paying for an 'upgrade' seems a bit much at this point ...

regards,

Martin
