    What are the "four PC+ items of the week"?

  • I'm not quite sure how to interpret the headline on today's ad page.

    Is it a Madness Catchup Sale at the end of March?

    Or is it the Catchup sale at the end of the March Madness Sale?

    Was there ever a solution to this?  The subject line in the email even read "End of March - Madness Catchup Mega Sale".  The dash suggests that it's a Madness Catchup sale that happens at the end of March, but the images in the banners don't make it clear.

    I assume this means the four new items that are put out at PC+ pricing on Wednesdays, in this case Coco Hair for Genesis 8 Female, Colors for Coco Hair, Parkside Loading Bay Clean, and Cybernetics Iray Shaders.

    If you check the Platinum Club newsletter, it's the four PC+ items that are an additional percent off if you buy one of the new PC+ items.

    As far as whether the sales page means the sales collectively known as "march madness" ends today or not... I don't think they have ever told us when the sale ends in advance.

    Ah, as always, it helps when I read the original source.

    I don't remember last year's MM specifically, but my impression of the big sales events has been that they do a weekend catch-up sale with a big banner that says "Final Weekend!" or something to that effect.  There's nothing like that banner here, but the ad copy has been a little screwball for this event.

    ...madness? This site software has been a total maddening pain in the arse tonight.  All I get is perpetual swirlies and then Cloudflare 502 errors when I try to view my cart.

    Well ... given that it's March 30-31 and the sale would theoretically be expected to end on or around the end of March, the answer to the question is probably "both". Nominally, anyway. (We shall see if the sale actually ends today or if there's a giant EXTENDED! slapped on the banner on Monday. The book is closed; bets will not be taken.)

  • thought it'd go through into April like last year or maybe that'll be the April Fools that March Madness continues

    Well in the last 2 days nothing happened not even new products. It would be a f...ed up end of sale if it would end like this. Not to mention they stopped Chow 2 days earlier. :)

  • There were a few things, mostly from the Bonus section, I was going to pick up. But made the classic "Shoulda Checked Out Yesterday" mistake & the cart prices went way up, with no changes in any of the deals. And this late in the sale I can't be bothered with the classic "Buy As-Is + Support Ticket" maneuver, even if I had thought to screenshot my cart before bed.

    They never release new products during catchup sales.

    Bonus item offer depends on you having purchased something in the past 3 days, so if your last purchase was 4 days ago you would have qualified for the extra 70% off yesterday but not today.

    If you buy something today (for example 1 or 2 PC items from one of the PA catalogs on sale) you should qualify again for the bonus offer afterwards.

    That is probably it, then. I may take a look at those later. Thanks.

    That may be the reason, although the only thing I bought in that timeframe was the weekly PC+ freebie. Maybe that counts? I may take a look at those PA sales later. Thanks.

    What's happened in the last few years, IIRC, is that we have a "big" catch up sale like the one going on now at the end of the month, and then we get another week or so of additional items overlapping Renderosity's April Fool's sales, but DON'T get a catch up sale oin everything after that. It just kind of dies with a whimper...

    And then about a week after that, a bunch of the stuff I bought in the March Madness sale goes on sale for a cheaper price and I have to race in time to get a price protection in with customer service.

    Oh I expect some hilarious April fools day offer will rear it’s ugly head tonight devil

    maybe the much awaited HD morphing cube will finally come, or at least unflattable pony HD with Dforce unflattability!,,

    Maybe the uflattable pony but we already had the "Ultimate Morphing* Hi-Res Millennium Cube" back in April 2008. (No longer in the store)

    I think one of the  best ones was V8 (https://www.daz3d.com/v8) which was free back in April 2016 a few months before Victoria 8 was released.

    True; but it was "Hi-Res" and I doubt DAZ would do the morphing cube idea again.

    I don't know… Last year's Hole Hair (G8M) from Changeling Chick was pretty funny. And I still use it from time-to-time.

    Actually the V8 arrived a year before Victoria 8, I think to shock people that V7 had ruled for just a year.

    As far as sheer genius goes, I think the greatest DAZ April Fool's product of all time, and one of the few to actually stay as part of the store, was https://www.daz3d.com/pretty-in-pink

    Sources tell me it still has its liver although it's a bit more paté when dflated.

    There's an issue with the top row of the Newly Mad items. Every single one of those four items -- Sushi Delicious, dforce Starlet Dress, MRL Warrior Hair, Pose Architect for Genesis 8 Male --  goes to https://www.daz3d.com instead of to whatever its own page should be. It's a database thing, since the same behavior occurs on the www.daz3d.com/shop page as well. Since it's been about an hour since the changeover, it seemed worth bringing up.

    Sushi Delicious is at https://www.daz3d.com/sushi-delicious

    I tried to guess what the others were, but couldn't make it work.
