Most of the previous pro bundles ran about $35, some less than that.

I WISH! LOL

Bundles released in September, October, and the first half of November were treated to extra discounts due to the PA Festival and the PC+ Anniversary sales. Traditionally, Pro bundles are released with a 30% intro discount, or $94.47, just like any other new release. If you're a PC+ member, you also get the 30% DO discount, bringing the intro price down to $66.13. Daz has had some unbelievable discounts thrown in from time-to-time, but $35 as typical? No. Sorry. That's just not accurate.

Now, if you're willing to wait 60 days or longer to pick up a Pro bundle, they do go on sale, and sometimes are offered at stupid-cheap prices when purchasing a new release. I got Victoria 7 Starter bundle for free last year, with a new release pruchase. (Don't recall if it required one or multiples to qualify.)

The basic rule of thumb is that, once you've gone past the New Product intro period, EVERY DAZ Original goes on sale multiple times a year for at least 70% off if you're a PC+ member.  SO, if there';s nothing in a set that's screaming "Buy Me Right Now!" you can save a bundle by waiting a few months. 

That said, lately DAZ has seemed to recognize that and has been offering a lot of convoluted ways to get the price down without actually reduce the list price of the bundle itself, and a number of recent Pro Bundles... and the previous poster's $35 per Pro Bundle figure on release is actually not far off.  Looking at some figures that I know I bought during the initial release period, I can see that the Monique 8 Pro Bundle set me back just $27.99 (and I only had to have the Monique 6 Pro Bundle to get that discount,)  the Lucas 8 Pro Bundle was only $25.60, Stephanie 8 was 33.10,  Teen Josie 8 PB was $37.79, the Mika 7 PB was 23.80,and the Elijah Pro Bundle came in at the ridiculous price of just $6.61.  That's less than lunch costs at many fast food places!

He seems ok. I'm seeing no orange banner and nothing in the exclusive offers area either. No incentive with the past Pros as I have 6 & 7 Pros already. Bad timing being first of the month with rent and such. Without any discount I'll be forced to pass. May only get the base this time. =( It's all good though.

I have an exclusive offer in the messages. Exclusive offer is "You have one of the past Darius pro bundles, so have an extra 10% off". Mildly surprised at how limited it is compared to recent offers; I wonder why? (I have both Darius 6 and 7 pro bundles, so this is probably as good as it's going to get.)

Additional discounts for the other non-bundle items are showing up in the cart now. Assuming they stabilize where they are, they're quite nice. The additional discounts are only for the other items and not the bundles, at the moment, but that may change when they kick the store to make everything settle out, if they need to do that.

The Capsces Poses and Expressions don't currently have a promo image in the pro bundle, but they're listed at the bottom in the Included items; without that promo, it looks at first glance as though there are only 10 items in the Darius pro bundle, compared to 11 in the Olympia, Teen Josie, Stephanie, Lucas, and Monique 8 pro bundles, and 12 in the Victoria 8 pro bundle . The LINK for the Capsces poses has a placeholder text of LINK, which actually goes to a product in the store, which makes for an oddly funny false drop.

Hmmm... I'm getting an offer of 25% off Darius 8.  The lowest I can get the Pro bundle to is $49.60.  Has anyone gotten it lower?

Most of the previous pro bundles ran about $35, some less than that.

The only gen8 pro bundle that went down that low for me was Monique 8, when combined with the discount. Lucas also went around 40 a week or two after the release I believe, which was also pretty low; Michael and Victoria ran about the same as Darius 8, I think... maybe I’m forgetting how much I paid though

This one could be fun...

Install Steam. I believe it has options to allow a controller to work in programs.

I can understand that part of what keeps DS free is outsourcing the funcionality to the community devs (KeyMate, etc) but there needs to be some sort of "hand-off" or "hand-over" when/if one of those community devs dies so the plugin can be updated (if there's not already such a plan in place).

While not so much a program include, but more of a policy change: texture templates with everything, no exceptions. If it has a UV map, it must have a template. Also, Script source so users can edit as needed, or add functionality/change certain parameters to work with their Runtimes. Case in point, the V4 to G2F Animation Converter looks for "Victoria 4.2", but the loader names it "victoria 4.2". That capital letter means everything. The script fails if it's not a capital V. By the same token, the G2F figure must be named Genesis 2 Female, not Victoria 6, Lilith 6, Mei Lin, Aiko 6, etc. Changing this in the script so it reads the base figure instead of display name would make it faster.

Welcome back.

We are now on the 8 series - don't panick you haven't missed that much.

Due to some confusion over the numbering issue daz went from Genesis 3 with Victoria 7, Michael 7 etc to Genesis 8 and Victoria and Micheal 8 etc.

DS now has Iray as a renderer as well as 3delight and very recently dforce dynamics was introduced.

G8F Victoria was stated to have outsold any prior versions of Victoria, including V4, on introduction day, if I remember the post in the forums by a hefty percentage so from a business perspective G8 has been a hit.

Cumulatively I have no ideal for Victoria 8 sales stand in relation to V4 and other older figures sales as those are artificially inflated by giveaways (one could have gotten Victoria 7 free this past weekend, I had gotten her free though last year around the same time of year). You can be almost sure V8 has sold less total numbers than V4 and you can probably guess that V4 also has still outsold all the other Victorias from the Genesis lines. Eventually though, a new Victoria will technically have so many improvements that generation will outtotal V4. V4 is sort of a no-go for gaming development for example. It requires much more work than later generations of Victoria. 

Victoria 4 was introduced in 2006 with V 4.2 in 2008. That is longevity. Obviously G3 didn't last long, as G8 is already released. Since 2011, there is a new genesis every 2 years. It appears that right now G3 has the most products and support by vendors/PAs, and from what I've read G8 isn't really a big hit ... at least not yet.

What a really weird mix of everything! Repull didn't make it easy did it, but I got an idea.

P3D Lorin HD for Aiko 7      Leather Bustier (Gen3F)     Venice Hair (Gen 3, 2, V4) 

Venice Hair doesn't have any morphs for the back of the hair that I can find. I had to go into Left Collar>Twist to get a section of hair to lay down, because when I was trying to get another morph to work, that strand right behind the left shoulder moved too.

Same, I (re) discover some stuff I bought by past, but it's also perhaps a past freebie, it was for me, check it out from your Product Library :)
​Anyway, for the Sign-in/Sign-off thing, I have sometimes the same issue: EDGE, Firefox (56+), WaterFox, Maxthon/Internet Explorer and even Chrome :p
​Why I have this so many browsers ? It's because I develop mobiles applications/social networks applications, so for check if it works, I need test on each ^^

Do you get the PowerLoader dialogue when loading Victoria 4?

On the digital creations celebs, CS03 is definitely adriana lima, one of the more popular/famous victoria secret models, not allessandro ambrosio (another VS model).

Agree on the other 2, kim K and Megan Fox.

If he does a jasmine tookes Ill buy it.

finallly got mannequin, Aiden for M5, Victoria 5 Elite Ponytail Hair and... Reby Sky :)

As I had Stephanie pro bundle I was very tempted to get Angela but your comments only mentioned Reby and on confirming it includes a skin I felt comforted to get it.

Genesis is great with Anagenessis.
