Don't get me wrong; I think Reason/Propellerheads is the best thing EVER since sliced bread (or glazed donuts :puf_smile: ) but I do have a gripe regarding Reason Shop. I recently bought Champagne Supernova Synth on special. Now, I see that Reason Shop is giving it away FREE! Is this common practice? Does it happen often? Put it on special and if it doesn't sell good, give it away? Believe me, $40 is not gonna break my bank. I'd just like to know of this has happened to anyone else too? I'm not rabid mad, mind you; just a little upset. Cheers!

If you haven't bought anything from the shop before, I can see how this might be confusing. It's not free, it's still $39 (on sale) - but now that you've bought it, it doesn't show the price. It'll just show the download button, which is what I'm guessing you're seeing.

In any case: To check what something that you bought is currently going for in the shop you'll need to log out of your account.

Ah you're probably right - I forgot that the device was updated recently. That makes it even more confusing! :lol:

Hey, y'all! Yes, I'm in Texas! Thank you all for your answers. I'll check to see if other items I have bought are now "free". Again, thank all for your quick responses. Reason on!

I remember this confusing me, and I'm certain that's exactly what happened (what others have described). Would be nice for them to simply say "free update" as opposed to just "free".
