Well over here they keep the dollar somewhat stable while our property value has dropped 40%.
I see a 60 dollar increase since June of the XITE-1, but since I look at what I will make, it lessens the pain even if this goes up 1 large.
Prime Minister Brown's advice seems to set the rules recently, as every suggestion he has made, other leaders in Congress and the White House have adopted and naturally try to act as though it was their idea, these politicians have no shame.
I hope you get one Ben as I plan on finally using Modular in a big way w/ XITE-1. Your contributions and others for Modular are much appreciated, and with no DSP constraints, one can only imagine what's possible now.
Tippers 2U,

I hope the pound picks up.
This leaves more money for other, heavily needed equipment. I have more than enough Xite cash stashed, I had a feeling the pound was gonna drop against the euro before the release date. Maybe not as much as it has, but still. So all other purchases are on hold till I got my hands on me new box. Then we can see what left for eveything else.
Early next year then??? Rock on.

Still, VAT in the UK has just gone down by 2.5%, so that's got to help

Won't buy it now - just too expensive (UK) - they need to ship a 'lite' version
Could pick up another 15 DSPs when everyone wants to get rid..............

I remember when the 15 DSP scope cards first became available here. They were something like $15,000.00 AUS. I bought mine when they came down to $2500.00. So I'll be waiting for quite some time until there is a vibrant xite-1 community and a stable platform and by then AUS prices should be down a bit.

Yes, I guess I'll try to wait patiently for about 2 or 3 years and see if I can afford a XITE then, either in the shops for a little less than the current price, or 2nd hand. (Or I wait for the future slimmed down version)...
In the meanwhile I'll be happy to play with scope 5.0 with my 18 old DSP's.

Sounds good on paper stardust, but I doubt I'd even get enough sent to me to buy a new plugin.
