Some AIR plugins are still on sale on the AIR and Akaipro websites.
I just got Jura for 29.- despite that I had announced to boykott them in the future due to the broken workflow in version 3...

inMusic seem to have joined the ever increasing army of sites that have just extended black friday to become a 'holiday' sale with the same offers or in many cases even bigger discounts than they did on Black Friday.

Did all the people who bought AIR plugins on Black Friday not feel aggrieved when Akai offered the same deal plus an extra 10% on Cyber Monday?

Ultimately these are not really 'special' deals as most of these plugins are ridiculously overpriced in the first place. I mean, £150 RRP for Jura, really? Think about it. These are 'Cherry Audio' or 'Sampleson' level plugins, not Diva or Omnisphere level.

Slightly OT, but has anyone been bombarded with the Ugritone 'year long farewell sale' ads for the past few months, 'It's with a heavy heart we are having to close down...here's all our stock for $99 '. Well, they have magically found a way to stay in business and will not be closing down at all. Marketing geniuses? Genuine true story of being baled out at the last minute? :popcorn:

Happened too often that I don't care any more.

That's what Waves is doing for years.
