I was looking at getting a gold MPC Live. I’ll settle for a gold MPC Live 2 though.

I wonder if Akai is taking plays from Nintendo's style of releasing...

Release single color product line.
Release new color(s) of product line.
Release new variant of product line.
Release new color(s) of product line.
Release a slightly upgraded version of product line.
Release new color(s) of product line.
Rinse and repeat until an actual new product is ready to ship.

All these new models and colors just makes me think they are trying to keep excitement and interest for the current products while they burn through inventory.

I think they’ll be bringing a MPC Live 3 out. LOL.

Why????? Would look a lot cooler in the 'retro' style than the Live II does. It might almost look like a real MPC at that point.

I thought the gold Live was ugly initially then got used to it and almost wanted one. But it's a color I'd get tired of pretty soon.

Yeah, this looks crazy. Same with the X. They'd both look better in the retro scheme.

It a real MPC, just with a different color.

+1 on seeing a retro Mpc one, I’d really like to see how Mpc x looks even more. The whole gold edition just doesn’t float my boat at all.
