Where can I get Reason Essentials?

[lyrk]

It seems official Propellerheads site stopped selling this and Internet shop stocks are depleted too. Where will I buy Reason Essentials from? (digital download)

[Loque]

Yep, seems like it is actually not available. Maybe because of their special upgrade offer.

Maybe this: https://reverb.com/item/2342204-propell ... essentials
It looks like an old version, so maybe only interesting for an update. No warranties....

Quick! Snap it up retail for £60, upgrade it for £100, start with nothing, end up with a full Reason 10 licence for £160!
That's a crazy deal.

They charge for shipping costs, so I'd think it's physical.

The way reason lets you stack unlimited modules I honestly didn't mind going from 5 to 8 a few years back.
Did the 3 easy payments crap and got things done and called it a day lol

This item does not ship to my country. (Netherlands) It would be better if digital.

I found a copy at KVR from a user for 25 USD.
Upgraded to Reason 10 for a total cost of 125.

I might buy the essentials upgrade to go from 9 to 10. If propellerheads doesn't allow this (giving preference to people who have not invested as much in Reason) I am pissed (regular upgrade not on sale.)

[dustmoses]

So yeah, as a full Reason user who has spent hundreds I can't get the $99 upgrade for people who have spent as little as $65.

@dustmoses: I hear you. Sometimes the update goes on sale for us regular users too though... But I guess going the Essentials route (if you can indeed find a cheap copy of Essentials) might actually make you some money... Buy Essentials & update to Reason 10 for $ 164, after selling your Reason 9 copy you might even have some money left over... Though it might be a gamble if you find out that somehow your doesn't qualify...
Best of luck figuring this out!

For safe keeping, I'd say get the download not the box but that's just me

Sure, you can be mad at this but why would you? There are 2 types of people that'll take advantage of $99 upgrade from Essentials:
1) Those, that got such version with some gear or maybe bought it years ago to try, but never upgraded - basically, people that have it but never used,
2) Those that always wanted to try Reason, but would never got it at full-price just to try it,

You seem to be someone who's been using Reason for years and probably enjoying it, so - even if you're not a professional - you've got your money's worth, right?

This offer is targeting the non-users and if anything smells of desperation, but that's a topic for different thread altogether.
