I've seen the numbers on the first one. They're large. There are lots of people out there, like me, who consider $10 to get a full, consistent professional quality skin suite to be money well spent. I spent $7 regularly to see crummy movies, so $10 for something wonderful that I'll use for months on end is a pretty good deal.

I Agree , they are beautiful, but the first one one $8 , and there was more to it, ( icons and such ) this one is $10 , how much will the next one be? I think ill pass on this one and see if the pricee goes back down.

It's an outstanding collection of work, and well worth the money. I bought it and I am downloading now, problem is I'm probably still going to be downloading it by sunrise... The download is inching along at about 800 bytes per second. It took less than a minute to process the order and receive the email key. Free is one thing but when you pay for something you expect a little speedier delivery...

It took me forever to d/l it but well worth the wait. However.....I truly hope that subsequent suites won't be more than $10, as that's about the max I could see paying for this sort of thing, though I will say that there aren't suites that I'd pay for besides pixtudio....well maybe if dangeruss put out a new suite

Have you guys thought about a subscription service? Say x amount of dollars a year?

My 2c on the cost ... $8/$10 does not seem much but like I am from South Africa where the Rand/Dollar rate today is R10.65 for $1 which makes the suite R85.2/R106.50 ... now that is a couple of movies in SA.

Well, download is a problem, I'm on my 10th try now after some broken or cancelled downloads. But after I saw the screenshot it was clear for me, that I must have the suite. Will there be a MusicMatch Jukebox skin, also ??? Please, please ! (I know it is a bit nifty to skin, so nevermind...)

I only use winamp and windowblinds, wouldn't need all of the other skins. Might consider paying for just those, but I'm spoiled by all of the free skins available. I guess if everyone else starts charging I'll have to learn to do it my self!

Bought it, got it (eventually), installed it and love it. Well worth the 10 spot. I spend that in a week turning diet soda into... well, you know 
It's a good thing I'm running a high resolution (1600x1200), since some of the elements would be a bit large at a common resolution of 1024x768.

Definitely worth the wait and 10 bucks. It's obvious a lot of work went into this and it shows . I noticed there are some smart looking icons in the WindowBlinds screenshot, any chance they will be released...

Any chance someone can tell how big the ZIP is? I'm still d/ling it at amassive 460bps (I can cancel it and try l8r if I'm too far off - the download is probably costing more than the pack )
)

Thanx, I'll download it later then, I'd been on 2 hours and got about 3MB.
