As we all know, it is CoreMIDI compatible and will be 300$, but what about the software? I'm pretty sure it will be all included with the Ren and Studio, but what's left to question is the Fly.

For example, when beatmaker 2 came out, and people who recently purchased the first app asked maybe for a tiny discount or something such. The devs response was "Sadly we cannot do that because Apple does not allow that for the app store".
The reason behind this is that Apple will loose money everytime you get a discount. The money has to come from somewhere. Either you pay the full sum or the developer must do so.
I'm certain Akai has handled this some way, the question remains how?

This actually has nothing to do with this topic! Although I see what you're saying, the OP isn't talking about upgrading to MPC Ren version 2. He's asking if the software will be included as a physical DVD as well as downloadable. For example, most software you buy online today, you can either have the DVD shipped to you, or you can just download it from your account after you register/pay for it, or both. Those downloads are always available to redownload from your account anytime, the same as any App you buy from the AppStore is.

It actually does have something to do with the topic. He's talking about the software for the MPC Fly. and last time I had problems with my itunes account I had to repay for apps/songs that I had already downloaded on the same account. Maybe things have changed since then though.
