Code - CYBERMONDAY
Just a heads up. |

| I'm bad at math, but it seems like it's not actually 45%. More like 25-30% |

"This coupon will change in value throughout the day".
By the time I get home from work it'll be a waste of time. I've been following their three step discount thing, so hopefully Step 3 will be 50% off (they usually have that kind of deal around Christmas). |

lol, what a bunch of bullcrap. I was lazy and missed the 3step thing so i'm wondering if there'll be another big discount this year. |

Yeah, I'm hoping for that one as well. |

| I just saw, you can re-enter coupons by logging out and back in again. I'll try again later today and see if it gets bigger. |

Yeah, if you have either a cart or hold bin that's stacked to the brim, and have gotten to the point where they just look impossibly expensive to clear out, now's the time to do it.
Some people are complaining that their discount works out to considerably less than the advertised amount?

Also, is it too late to begin entering in any of the 'steps?' |

The window for the other two codes has expired. Step 3 lands on the 9th December. You're supposed to have used each step discount to unlock the next step, but the code hasn't been personalised for my account or anything. It's just been STEP1 and STEP2, so you may as well type in STEP3 on the 9th and see what happens.
This 45% sale was always going to be bull. It was probably 45% for about an hour in the middle of the night and will continue dropping throughout the day until it's piss-all by the evening when most people will be able to use it. But, of course, the small print telling you the percentage will drop is a lot smaller than the gigantic 45% DISCOUNT banner on the email. |

Yup, just tried to apply the CYBERMONDAY coupon code: took my cart down from $207 to $145, which works out to a discount of about 30%. Still sizable, but 15% shy of my motivation to splurge.
Totally blew it, though, as I noticed the email as it arrived in my inbox, and just assumed it would be for a longer period of time and that I would receive another email when the discount had changed. I guess didn't think they were gonna doorbuster this . |

| Ugh. Seems like Beatport are being c unts as usual. They have the best storefront but their business department can go itself. Sadly, you are almost forced to use them since they have so much stuff exclusively. |

I'm actually glad you brought that up, because I was almost going to create a separate thread for this: is there any reason to not purchase the same tracks through Amazon?
I often do a search of the music I crate in order to hear a full sample, which usually turns up SoundCloud, but also Amazon, and I've never seen them offer a track for more than $.99. What's the deal there? I'm guessing the label uploads it in the same bit quality? It seems like an especially good alternative to Beatport's ridiculous prices for new releases, and even for back catalogue material that sells for $1.50. |

Amazon, much like Apple, are so big that they can dictate a price point.
Beatport has more of a niche market, so they try to make money through a higher baseprice and bull fees.
Mp3s should be same quality, but I don't think Amazon sells lossless? That's really the biggest thing that I hate about Beatport, they act like the care about the state of DJing but they heavily discourage people from playing .wavs with their ing absurd lossless fees. |
