Probably going down even more since they are going to try something with a new Ren.
Just turning an already bad used market upside down.

Id wait it out some more... At least wait until the Maschine Studio drops, theyre gonna want to get more buyers and more buyers = less price

I see it being about $699 by black friday

£549.99 = $880
so I bet that'll see a price drop soon as well, no reason refurbished units should be costing more than brand new ones.

Looks like it. They come with a 12 month warranty.

The range of prices over here is crazy. Anywhere from £800+ to £599 new.

The $ to £ conversion means we should be paying around £620 ish for the NI Studio, but the prices are starting around £800. :Sigh:

It takes the piss, especially as NI are a German company and we're part of the EU. It's equally as bad if you buy Apple stuff over here. :fku:
