Re: Holiday Sales

Putting aside the usual bugs and the instances where Daz lowered new release prices after first day sales, the Black Friday and Christmas Holiday sales were actually quite good, in my opinion.

The BF/CM sales offered some of the lowest prices that I've seen for PA items (outside of limited-selection clearance grab bags).

The discounts associated with the Sleigh Ride Bundle were the best that I've ever seen here, period.

The G9 bundle offers were great - even for those with no interest in G9, since a group of G3, G8, and 8.1 bundles could make the purchase attractive despite factoring the value of the G9 content as zero.

Even the lesser offer these past couple of days wasn't bad - buy a $120 gift card for $108, get a free Pro bundle. And if you happened to have spent that gift card, you got another free Pro bundle because the coupon could be used multiple times.

The punch card could have been irksome, but in practice it was easy to top it off when needed because of the Daz+ category sales - a single $2 purchase bumped the discount to max for the next day, and the big holiday offers ran multiple days.

I need two decent opportunities per month to spend those Daz+ coupons (grumbles about nigh irresistible BF renewal prices), but otherwise, given the sheer amount of items I've acquired over the past month or so... Daz could run "bad" sales for the next six months. In fact, I suspect that most sales will seem lackluster in comparison for a while.
