how much ya'll think the xl price is gonna drop

how much do you think the xl will cost when the 2500 comes out, i'm hopin 1000 or less

it depends on the success of the 2500.

I was one of the first in the UK to by an mpc 1000. i still remember that day...it was special. until i bought it home...problems galore. swaped it...more problems...swapped it again...didnt even power up.

i wished i went for a tried and tested 2000xl. dont get me wrong...its not the most solid of OS's...but its solid enough.

so back to your question...it depends...if the product is buggy as hell, then people will buy back thier 2kxl's.

who knows...in years to come...people will do what they have done with the 3k's. people will dig fir the 2kxl's and say all sorts of things like it had a nice sound, its timing was tighter, the swing was more natural, etc, etc, etc.

so it depends. its matter of time really.

as for the price drop...

thats down to shops sitting on stock, which they need to shift. if akai take the 2k off the product line... then shops sitting on stock have to move fast...and you may see bargain price drops on the xl's.

Not trying to start a fight here..but..you have had issues with the MPC 2000Xls OS version 1.2?? If so..like what?

I bet the price will go a bit lower on other mpc's when the new one comes out, just speculation. Of course its new and its hyped so alot of poeple are going to sell there old mpc's to buy the new one. There will be more than usual on ebay so the biddin will be spread out a little more with less bid wars to drive up prices.

Your right....I have noticed this already....I was able to pick up a 2000XL with loads of extras for $662....Should have been atleast $850!!!!

nice sound on a 2kxl.........

Xl has a good sound for sure.

its cuts right through in a mix.
