Isn't there supposed to be a Daz surprise released today? I was hoping it would be M3 but I actually can't find anything really new and fantastic on the Daz site. Anyone heard anything? Love Esther

no clue.

Not specifically today. The site news says: "What's New in the Platinum Club? If you're a Platinum Club Member you're going to want to keep your eyes peeled this next week. If you're not yet a member, maybe we'll be able to entice you with... well, we wouldn't want to ruin the surprise."

They still have a little time left today. At least I'm not the only one being impatient! ;-) (There are some cool additions in the other areas, but not in the Plat Club which is where they hinted we'd find some nice surprises.)

They usually post their new things pretty late. Diane

On their What's New @ DAZ page, the following is stated under P-Club news:

"What's New in the Platinum Club? If you're a Platinum Club Member you're going to want to keep your eyes peeled this next week. If you're not yet a member, maybe we'll be able to entice you with... well, we wouldn't want to ruin the surprise.

Membership has so many privileges, and this is one you're going to love... "

This is probably what Ryan was talking about -- not M3 or DAZ|Studio.

Just my 2 cents...:)

Maybe the surprise is that there's no surprise?

Mark

Diane is probably right. It's only 6:00 P.M. in Utah.

And doh! Sam beat me to it!

Plat Club prices dropped from 1.99 to just 0.99! I think that's the new going rate! As they claimed, you had to look for the surprise; it wasn't going to jump on yo' head like a Giger FaceHugger! ;-) Sincerely, Bill

Tempt the Hand of Fate and it'll give you the "finger"!

Look like $0.99 on DAZ Original items only. Brokered items appear to still be $1.99

Well spotted, Bill. That's pretty damn decent of them.

I thought DAZ's webmaster mentioned in a thread yesterday or the day before that July 31 was going to be special. Hmm, well the day isn't over yet. Melanie

I just went and looked and it appears that some things have been dropped to 99 cents, but others are still $1.99. I wonder what makes some $1.99 and others $.99. Anyway, it's a great price. I'll definitely take advantage of it. Melanie

Ryan B. @ DAZ stated the following in a P-Club thread: "Lastly, in case anyone asks, you won't be able to sign up for a new membership [P-Club] until tomorrow (7/31) while we get ready for... almost spilled the beans there. Keep watching."

wish they would have annouced that, or when they changed it. With all the Daz server hickups, I thought the .99 was a glitch and have been holding off buying anything today! oh well, can't bitch about being given a discount like that, more bang for the buck.

I don't know...was just at Daz and looked like a sale all over...

AkoSteve is right. Looks like all brokered items are now 35% off and DAZ items appear to be 50% off.

Whew! I logged in, noticed all the new prices and freaked out. I was afraid it was a server error and I was afraid DAZ was about to get screwed by a programming bug! (No offense to your programmer, but that was my first thought when I saw the prices. I ran over here to see what was up.) Thanks so much! And I've been saying how I need to take it easy on my credit cards! :(

SOOOOOO membership has it's privilages. 50% sale plus PCLub discount on daz items, woah.

Ugg I want to see but I can not load DAZ right now. Can't wait to see though.

What a time to be without extra cash! I was a little freaked out too, Crescent. After blinking a few times and viewing my wishlist I decided it must be real.

Sale goes on til Aug 13th looks like. I was all panicing, oh gotta gotta gotta. took a break to have a cig and calm down, I do not have to buy the entire Daz store tonight, it's okay. count to 10. breath. okay, need another cig. UGHHHHH!

So is it only me who can not get into DAZ? And nope I am not on dila up got cable. I want in Not like I have any moey to spend right now but hopeing I will soon I want in!

Now is the ideal time to buy the V2 CD, then get hold of V3. plus the morphs and textures. Me, I already had them so I bought a ton of stuff from the Platinum club, plus the Skeleton AV (finally at a realistic price) and a few other Premier items. Damn good move, DAZ. Many thanks for draining my bank account (yet again). :)

Uh.... The sale is nice, but I already have everything in the PC that I want. Hope they add some new items soon. Maybe I don't have everything. I'll take another look tomorrow. Ah, self restraint - NOT.

Pray you don't get in Blazerwiccan or you too will be twitching in front of your computer moniter trying desperately to click on the check out link with a shakey hand...stay away!

anybody know the limit of Daz wishlist??? I'm going CRAZY calculating all this stuff.

LOL But I want in and I want in now I can't spend anything today anyway but tomorrow hmmm lol.

Hmmm.... New promotion to platinum club, and burried somewhere is Mimic 1.0 for 1.99 acording to the brochure... Anyone found that yet? ~DM

Well I didn't see 1.0 but 2.0 is there and sporting the new pricetag.

PayPal worked the way was supposed to!!! So much for not spending money. Though I am rather fussed that I spent money last week on stuff that's this week is on sale. Oh well, that's the way it goes.

Did anyone else notice the bit about Michael 3.0 going on sale September 1st?

I suuuuure did.

yeah, but september is still a ways away. They also changed they're stance on the anual subscription (you now get the $5 voucher). I wouldn't be supprised if that changes again. ~DM

So where is the annoucement of this stuff? And the Michael 3 in Setember? Just trying to see what is what and if the PC discount is permanent or just during the sale etc.

m3 sept 1? where is that? gewd the screens flying so fast I cant stand still to check things. grrr

try looking here: http://www.daz3d.com/products/platclub.php

The PC items that are discounted have a date for when the sale ends.

Thanks for the link and stuff .. Looks like it will be a painful month for the old wallet. .. lets see. 70 items at 99 cents a piece Shudders

Did anyone get a 30% PC discount on the 50% off Premier stuff, or is that just me being too greedy? ;) I just got the Fantasy Wrap2 for $9.98, thinking 'aha! this should only be ~$7 now!' Nope, $9.98. Which is still a fine price though, now to spend the rest of my voucher! :)

Sorry if this has been addressed and I just missed it (either here or in the mailing), but ... Will current PC members receive the $5/month voucher? Thanks, Tim

Well the sale is great, BUT I had just bought some things the last couple of days, now their cheeper than the sale price I payed for. Not Happy right now. I think they should have said more in the begining. I could have waited.

Ditto. Happens all the time though, not just with DAZ.

Yeah--I bought all the DAZ original stuff about a week or so ago in the Pclub with my MIMic voucher

Contact Daz, beryld. They have a price warranty. I know this has happened before. They usually put the difference into a voucher, if I recall correctly. ~DM

That would be nice. It also wouldn't surprise me ... they are one of the "coolest" companies I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with ... they're EXTREMELY CS orientated.

Michael 3.0 on Sept. 1st!!!!! A long time away? That's about 31 days. Not long at all... Kuroyume

Price warranty eh? I'll have to look into that. I was just thinking it would be prudent to time certain purchases based on the differences in price.

Well, close enough not to buy more stuff for M2, and far enough away to start saving. :p ~DM

I sure Daz will work something out. They did it once, a year ago, and gave me a voucher. I have not lost faith with daz over this little thing. I had my eye on the tex converter for a long time, now's the time to get it. I still think they could have said something more. Some of the stuff earlier this month was with my Mimic voucher. could have saved it for this. Oh Well, If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all.

Daz usually has their big yearly sale around now...many of us have been waiting for it! Diane

this is not the yearly sale. this sale, discounts are only for pclub members as a special. guess they want people to join. like the 45 free items on renewal also, though, some seem a bit dated now, some look cool.

I just joined up four days ago. That day I bought five PC items that are only 99 cents now, meaning I spent $5 more than I needed to just because I bought a few days too eraly. Even worse, I just paid $17.46 for something YESTERDAY that I could get for $6.24 TODAY!!! That means I spent $14.22 more just because I bought them before the sale I didn't know was coming! GAH!!!!!!! I did just send them a polite e-mail asking about a refund voucher, I hope to hell your right about the price warranty... :( Btw, what's this "bonus pack of 45 DAZ products (a value of over $500)" that the e-mail mentions? How do I get that? I couldn't find anything anwhere on the DAZ site about it.

It's already on your accounts page. Just download them. Love esther

No, actually it's not on my account page. I've gone over it from top to bottom and there's nothing of the sort there.:(

x2000 - sounds like you joined 4 days to soon. My membership is still good for 3 months, don't think I can get in on that deal. At least I can pick up a few things that I wanted now. Must say I like the overall deals to be had. No need to hum/hah over the prices.

Just got that email...its a long one :) Plus there's a link to get more info..it says current members will get the free 45 item pac when they reneww as well.... plus this current sale sounds pretty darn good

it says somewhere that you will get it only if you renew membership.

Ok, question: I'm not up for Platinum Club renewal until sometime in october. Will I get 4.000.000 $500 value items for free when I renew? Anyone? -Hanz

Ok, answer: Yes, you will get it when you renew (I see the answers were posted while I wrote the question). -Hanz

"*If you have joined the Platinum Club since July 3rd, 2003, you will also receive this free bonus pak for joining the Platinum Club. All prior members will receive this bonus pak for free after their current membership expires and they renew their membership." - DAZ3D in the linked thread Unfortunately, I'd missed the part about the free stuff before I sent the first e-mail, so I guess I need to send another one. I just hope they answer the freakin' things today, since the weekend is coming soon and since I've heard so many complaints about ignored e-mails there lately.:/

Heh, don't feel bad Hanz, crossposting seems to be the order of the day. For instance, your posts weren't there when I started typing the last one...;)

I became a PC member 6/28 so I take it I am screwed. All this stuff started coming out 7/1. I don't get vouchers or anything. :(

Steve Kondris posted this in the PoserPros thread: "Everyone who has purchased the platinum Club since July 3rd, 2003 will be getting the bonus pack here in just a couple of days, so don't fret, they will appear on your account early next week. Also, the 30 price guarantee is still in effect (as always) so anything you recently purchased that's now on sale, you'll be reimbursed accordingly. We will get to your emails, so please be patient with us." So that's good, anyway.:) As for you, David, you'll get the freebies if you renew, though if you did the whole year package I guess that would be a while...:( You are still eligible for the sale, though. Almost everything is maked down already, plus PC members get 50% percent off DAZ originals for the duration of the sale (instead of the usual 30%) and 35% off brokered items (which are usually exempt altogether). THAT'S something to smile about!:) Christ, you could get the Millenium Dragon, usually $60, for $15!!!!! Btw, those of you who've already gotten the freebies: WHAT ARE THEY???? Is it current store stuff, or old items that were removed from the store, free stuff that's available elsewhere, or completely new stuff?

the free renewal package was shown in the picture. shows picture of camel, goblin, chest, knifes, etc etc. looks like older stuff. look at the link under section: Get Over $500 in FREE DAZ Products! to see the picture.

I'm really excited about this and am chomping at the bit to start my buying spree, but past lessons have told me not to place an order on Fridays. With the announcement of this fantastic sale, I can just imagine what a hassle that would be. I think I'll wait until one day next week. :-)

My idea of rebooting is kicking somebody in the butt twice!

Ah, thanks MachineClaw. I guess that's what I get for not waiting for all of the images to load.;)

Eh, actually that's not right.:/ I misunderstood, I thought regular folks were getting that sale price and PC members were getting the discount on top of it. My bad.:( But even at $30, it's still damned cheap.;)
