| Julissa Serrone 14.10.2010 | 799.00 for a product that has 999.00 MSRP is dirt cheap. Yikes. |

| Amos Tarlow 12.10.2010 | Anyone outside the US (especially the UK) does get bent over the barrel on Apple products thought. |
| Amos Tarlow 12.10.2010 | That was actually the moral of my story. The price of the S4 is higher because of the inflation in your country. I was just in Australia where the minium wage is $15-20 an hour. Housing costs were on par but food, drinks, gas, all cost twice as much as in the states. I was in the UK 5 years ago when the it cost $2 to buy one pound, with everything costing the same price in pounds as dollars. Prices are higher elsewhere due to inflation. If the US raised minimum wage to $15-20 you can bet the price of everything doubles. |
| Fleta Fergusen 12.10.2010 | 20 days, 6 hours, 23 mins and 47...46...45...44...43 seconds till it ships!!! :-) |
| Leeanna Ayla 12.10.2010 | Whatever, I still can't afford one. |
| Cleo Basket 12.10.2010 | @Stacks the Genius First, you can't compare US and Ireland (or any european country) wage average... US is so much bigger so for sure the wage average will be lower than any European country because of number of people....there is always more poor people than rich in a country...so the average will be lower in a bigger country Second, life is more expensive in Europe than in the us, so we need more money a month to live, so it's not good to compare how much money you still have a month after buying the s4....everything is more expensive, food, clothes, gas..... and big mac ! Finally, USA is the world number one economic power...this is the ONLY way to compare countries and the level of life...........the economic of a country: The gross domestic product>>>> GDP |
| Amos Tarlow 12.10.2010 | Sales tax is not included in US prices! And They call Americans ignorant. Tack on an extra 9%, forget about the short-term exchange rate for $ to |
| Cleo Basket 12.10.2010 | 799 $ ??? 799 $ = 578,883 euros Here in Europe, we must pay 899 euros for the s4 !! the best price we can expect is 875 euros..... Can't believe there is so much difference........ Do you have 0000000 tax in USA ????? ok here we have tax, 19.6% in France for example...but the price is anormal... even i compare official us price, i mean 899 $ = 650,856 euros 650,856 (1+19.6%) = 778.42 euros so we should pay 778 euros and not 875 euros......(we pay 1208,77 $ !!!!!!) the worst, Ni is a German compagnie.... are we richer here or are we paying for usa market ?? i really don't understand |

s and even my billing filled out when it came to me that hey maybe others sell it too.. i was always under the impression that ranking s was getting it before everyone else because ean help design it.. but it turns out it ships nov. 1st everywhere.. some dealers may get more reserved some may get less... i then found out that there are plenty of 1st batch s4 reservations still available.. so i had to go with the 799 no tax no shippin but to be fair im sure ean will provide great great service if anything is wrong with your unit .. most likely it will since all first batch first gen gear have some bs waiting to happen.. but thats the price we pay for lack of patience |

| Dana Ordinario 10.10.2010 | Umm I'm pretty sure TechTools has the same price everyone else does. If you can find it for 799+ No Shipping and Tax free that's a deal but I would honestly bet that the DVD is worth close to a benjamin as it is I am sure much more than a talking manual. |
| Evita Stuckman 10.10.2010 | yup almost had a heart attack.. i hit f5 on my browser every 2 minutes to see shipping update.. i even got fedex to send sms updates to me .. omg im so so so excited!! btw ean.. i prefer 100 discount over your tutorial dvd.. how bout hooking up all these fanboys of yours with a benjamin instead of a talking manual post your tutorial on ranking s for everyone.. but then again.. its all about the money after all.. i don't blame ya |
| nayit ruiz jaramillo 10.10.2010 | CALM DOWN. To the O.P. its great that you have shipping number, its a nice start to the final stage of getting an S4 but dude, for your mental healths sake do not start checking the Tracking Number every hour every day from now (i know thats what id be doing if i were you). Nothing has left Berlin yet... seriously... calm down, few deep breaths maybe a valium. Give it 2 weeks and you will have it im sure but your gonna burst a blood vessel getting so wound up each day that it doesnt arrive...

| Evita Stuckman 10.10.2010 | according to some guy at proaudiostar.. only tracking #.. not shipped yet.. bummer.. sorry for the false alarm.. all you haters can smile now i woulda ordered from ean.. but dam the CA tax is killer.. and proaudio gave me a fat discount so i can't complaint.. sigh |
| Dana Ordinario 09.10.2010 | Yeah a lot of times someone at fed ex oks it to ship only to have the company halt it either in transit or before it even lands on the truck happened with my Iphone 3G although, a lot of people were reporting on blogs that there phones were being listed as shipped so keep it quite until it gets to your doorstep. :P |
| Fleta Fergusen 09.10.2010 | conversation i had with a pro audio star rep: >Native Instruments Kontrol S4 has already started shipping?? rob : not yet as far as i know >guy on a community is claiming he got a shipping tracking # from you guys. not supposed to be shipped till nov 1st earliest last i heard rob : he prob on our pre order lsit rob : list* rob : we generate tracking numbers automatically >even before shipping? rob : yes so that the customer has tracking info from them beginning |
| Latoria Kavulich 09.10.2010 | pics or it didn't happen mate |
| Leeanna Ayla 09.10.2010 | I personally would have waited until it was at least on the truck for delivery to say anything. If it is to early there's a chance NI could halt it. |
| Evita Stuckman 09.10.2010 | yes time will tell.. should be here on wednesday.. will post pics and impressions.. i wasn't expecting it to ship til november as that's what all dealers are quoting.. they really hooked me up on the price.. and now with this early shipping.. icing on the cake if it really is an S4 they shipped me and not a casio keyboard by mistake.. |
| Omar Nila 09.10.2010 | time will tell! |
| Tatum Ansaldo 09.10.2010 | Nice one! very jealous. |
| Julissa Serrone 09.10.2010 | WTF!!!! Oct 9th??? Now THAT's early. Sweet. Post pics the moment you get it. |
| Leeanna Ayla 09.10.2010 | Wonder if that was an accident you lucky dog!! |
