Plato's Cellar SD Closeout
« on: September 16, 2012, 05:49:44 PM »
As 2012 comes to  a close DiscreetFX is transiting away from SD (Standard Definition) products and will be producing only HD products. Sadly the Amiga Video Toaster is only SD so we will be transitioning away from it. This means we have some great close out deals on Amiga Video Toaster hardware to clear out inventory. Also to gage the future interest of Aladdin 4D we have reduced the price of it to $19.96 ($99.96 value) for 72 hours. IF you can afford to buy your favorite movie on DVD you can now afford Aladdin 4D. This is a great sale and helps us gage interest in future supported platforms for it. Aladdin 4D 6.0 will be available for OS X and iPad only, we are still evaluating what platforms will be supported in Aladdin 4D 7.0. Aladdin 4D 5.x for AmigaOS will no longer be available after October 5th, 2012. Please let us know what platform you would like to see Aladdin 4D 7.0 available for when you order. During the 72 hour closeout sale products have been very competitively priced to move limited inventory. First come first served. We now use a 3rd party shipping company. All hardware products are professionally packaged and shipped in 24 hours or less.

It costs nothing to continue selling software, except in box/disk form. Is DiscreetFX at least going to release the old version free of charge?
Computers: Amiga 1200, DEC VAXStation 4000/60, DEC MicroPDP-11/73
Synthesizers: Roland JX-10/MT-32/D-10, Oberheim Matrix-6, Yamaha DX7/FB-01, Korg MS-20 Mini, Ensoniq Mirage/SQ-80, Sequential Circuits Prophet-600, Hohner String Performer

Thanks for the information Bill, glad to see you seem to have some direction with where your business is going.
Sorry to see that the Amiga platforms aren't going to be available, but that's probably a realistic business decision. I guess since the other platforms are listed, things have settled down with Deron, so happy to see cooler heads prevailing.

All the best

Mac Mini G4 (1.5GHz, 64MB VRam, 1GB Ram): MorphOS 3.6
Powerbook 5.8 (15", 1.67GHz, 128MB VRam, 1GB Ram): MorphOS 3.8.

Windows-free since 2011-2014 (Damn you Netflix!)

It's a great card and used to cost $4995 when it first came out.

I didn't know that.  Of course, back in the day, I did not look at VT hardware, because it was way out of my price range.  :)
