    I believe the sale started on the 2nd, which means that if today is the last day, this was a six day week as far as items being released that count toward this week.

    nice items in the power up again! I don't have of the Marakesh set so yay!
    It does have a few things that puzzle me.

    http://www.daz3d.com/pc-anniversary-sale-week-2/deco-bed-1 Shows no sale price and according to Marakesh 1 crazy bundle, there also should be a Marakesh 2 deal.
    Or will that one be released at a later date this week?

    OMG there are pro bundles now as rewards!
    Awesome, since I don't have V5 yet!

    I'm very unimpressed with this weeks rewards, I have all the Pro bundles, except for David 5 and that's not a choice, the Fantasy fighter is bound to be for G2 so I'm not interested, so the chances are I will return what I have bought from this week as to be honest there's little I really want and sadly feel that this PC anniversary has yet again been a disappointment.
    I also have most of if not all of the Marakesh stuff.
    There's still no competition up and we are now a week into October.
    The confusion over dates is souring the whole celebration, even the admin are giving out conflicting information and admit they are confused themselves.

    If by competition you mean render contest, one just appeared in the Members Only forum.

    Okay, we have all the Pro Bundles so that is a bust, But we do not have the last two.

    Can someone tell me where I can find product pages for these?

    They don't sound like bundles which is just a wee bit depressing, but so far most of the stuff has been things we do not have, and price wise I think were making a killing, so trying not to be whiney here.

    If anyone could give me links to the products below it would be great.

    Fantasy Fighter & Fight! for Fantasy Fighter
    Cute Minidress and Shoes & Cute Mini Textures

    Actually.. I don't have a single generation 5 Pro bundle. As a matter of fact, the ONLY generation 5 character I have is David 5. So for me personally, this is a wonderful offer because it means I can finally get M5 pro bundle which I have been wanting for some time.

    I would advice to be a bit careful with taking for granted that everyone has the same things that you do. For those that are new, or simply have not been able to afford the pro bundles before, a offer like this is a real nice treat.

    Edit - that is, unless I totally missunderstand what you were saying there? If so I apologize in advance *sheepish smile* Still haven't had enough coffee to properly wake up from my zombie mode :)

    Why is it that there are 5 female and only 1 male themed product or bundle being offered as rewards? No Freak or David or Hiro. There have also been two gender specific sales within a few days, both for women's items.

    Unfortunately we also have David 5, and all the other Pro Bundles (Freak, Girl, Gia ... and so on) Don't have the Horsey Bundle and I soooo want the Horsey Bundle, think they will let me trade %-P ... Let me guess fat chance in (the really hot place).

    Please explain though .... what do you mean they have not been released? How can they offer something they don't have? I'm taking a shot in the dark here ... but guessing I'm gonna feel stupid when you give me a simple answer to this, aren't I?

    What are the chances that the Daz 2 Horse Bundle might hit the list, or be offered later? Dose anyone know. I would hate to spend my rewards on something that is coming later.

    Oh and while I am on my little soap box here, just wanted to mention that, I am thankful that many of the "required products" that go with these sales are being sold on sale too. Though I am not fond of the idea that I can't use the product if I do not get the others, it really brightened my outlook when I found them at great prices too. Sooooo .... thanks for that!!

    Whew, yappy little thing aren't I, that's it for now though. :-)

    Your use of 'we' is confusing, it sounds as if you are speaking for others, I don't have the David 5 bundle but do have the Horse bundle and this is the problem as offering only so many bundles they cut out a percentage of their customers.

    Yes Daz can and will offer a product yet to be released as the bonus for getting the power up points, they have it - just haven't released it yet.

    Well I already have all gen 5 pro bundles so this is not such a great deal for me. Last year we had to spend a heck of a lot more to get a free bundle. Great deal for those that haven't already got gen 5 pro bundles.

    Sweet. Just unlocked tier 2 for week 1 and scored 2 points for tier 1 of week 2. Things are looking good! Dang! The rewards for week 2 are insane!!!

    Just to clarify...... So at the end of the week do I get both a starter and a pro bundle for unlocking both tier 1 and 2? Or just the pro bundle if I unlock tier 2? Because for week 1 it appears as if tier 2 rewards supersede tier 1. I guess this makes sense.

    Also, I can't find "Fantasy Fighter & Fight! for Fantasy Fighter" in the store either. What ever it is, it must be on-par with a Pro Bundle! Right?

    ooh, I'm excited about the pro bundles! the only one I have is V5 :) so it's going to be a toughie... I'm excited that I qualified for tier2 of week one too, and got two products already for week 2! I'm probably spending way more than I should, and on stuff I don't necessarily need, but I'm enjoying this :)

    You will only be able to get Either the reward for tier 1 or Tier 2. So if you get the 12 points to reach tier 2, you will get one of the pro bundles, if you only reach tier 1 you will get the starter bundle :)

    @Carola O
    I figured as much. Going to shoot for the Pro bundles.

    The problem with having the PC Anniversary right after the PA Festival is that I bought a ton of stuff last month!

    I already have V5 and M5. If I'd only known, I would have held off. That, and I bought the gen 5 bundles and then the gen 4 bundles went free shortly thereafter! I probably would have done without gen 5 if I knew I was getting gen 4 for free. I also got Stephanie 4 for free. I'm really liking the way she looks, so a gen 5 upgrade would be nice.

    If I hadn't spent so much last month in the PA sales, I would probably be spending more in this months PC anniversary sale.
    I thick they need to separate the two sales a bit.

    The years before last it was PC first and then PA - and people had no money left for the PA sale.
    At least this way round it is easier to scratch $1.99 together for PC deals.

    Yea, it's always been a catch-22. The PC anniversary sale will always be in October.. the PA sale was historically in November and the same arguments were heard. DAZ moved the PA sale to September, and now the reverse is heard sadly.

    Maybe spacing them out ... ehm apart ... like for a month or so?

    They are in the middle of the PC Power up page, which you get by clicking on the banner for the PC Power up on top of the store pages:

    Well that means the PA sale can only move to either August or Dec.. and I think both are quite precarious times to hold a sale.. so I dunno really.

    My question about the bundles...WHY would you have those as prizes when they were all on sale during the last sale for next to nothing and the majority of people already have them. So in reality there are only 2 options for most people to choose from.....

    Given a choice, it seems better for the PA sale to be first so the PAs get first crack at our money -- much as I love the PlatClub, it's DAZ and DAZ gets 50% of all the money we spend on PA items anyway so it's not like they're losing out. Granting that 44%-off is a little lackluster after a month of 50%-off deals (which I glutted myself on, thanks again!), my enthusiasm's been more for the daily PC items at $1.59 a pop and the freebies. Not sure about the Tier system yet, but I haven't had any trouble filling my dance card with stuff I wanted, so I'm fine with it so far.

    December's got the PA gift-fest, which is usually accompanied by a nice sale on each PA's store during their day but I'm not sure this should count as one of the major events for this list. That leaves March Madness (has to be held in March ;-) ), the PlatClub Anniversary (has to be held in October), and the PA-fest (can theoretically be held anytime but needs several months advance-warning for people to save up money for it) -- have I missed any? March and October are four winter months apart but have six months space between them on the other side, which seems to put the best times for the PA-fest from about June 15th through July 15th.
