I was looking on the Akai web site about the free cd-r promotion they have but i cant find the terms in contidions, well there written in letters for ants at the bottem but i cant see it. Does ne 1 know if this applies to purchases outside of the USA, ie. Ireland. And also what do you need, a reciept and that is it, Im asking because im planning to buy a 2nd hand MPC and it comes with everything xcept the drive and it would be very useful, I presume he bought it in the UK. Ne help appreciated.

Yeah.......I'm not sure what month it had to be purchased in,but the terms and conditions are all on the pdf open it up and read the fine print at the bottom.

About a month and a half ago they were giving away the ram upgrade for free. I scored on that one!!1:wink:

To bad the offer isn't good with any other offers or I'd have that CD upgrade as well. :cry:

Maybe it's worth a try?? :roll:

ya i saw the PDF document on 9/25/2006 what i did was i went to guitar center purchased a cable that was $4, went home and made a photocopy of the new receipt, got my old mpc receipt that i got on 10/18/2005 and made a photo copy of that. Then i cut a small hole where the date of purchase of my old akai receipt and slid the new receipt (that said 9/25/2006) under the hole of my old akai receipt and made a whole new photocopy. I mailed it in. Now 3 days ago i got a package from akai,

way to go, you just publically admitted to fraud.

luckily i already got my free cd-r, so if akai stops the promotions due to situations like this, i won't be affected.
