I don't know about all the slams on V3. I was hesitant due to my limited funds but when the discounts started adding up and add to that the extra benifit of my PlatinumClub discounts, I couldn't resist and added the textures and Blunt Hair and Still came out like a bandit better than my initial purchase of V2! However I must add that DAZ is just plain EVIL, evil, evil, evil! Everytime I think I have all I need they come out with another 'Must Have Deal'!! But like SnowSultan, I'm on dial up so I opted for the CD burn. Now I gotta wait for that snail to hurry up and get my mail-order bride here!!! Evil DAZ, Evil DAZ, Evil DAZ!!
