Promotions by definition are temporary and not announced in advance. If you can return your keyboard and effectvely re-buy one (assuming your dealer would perhaps contact Korg and try to see if they would award you the promotion), you might have to do that to take advantage of the promotion.

I too bought mine in December. I called Korg customer service and was basically told too bad, there's nothing they can do on either the discount or the EXB-Radias.

don't you have a 30 day return guaranty ? I am not saying this is the best way but you may have rights to look into, if you are very unhappy

I actually am outside of the return period and I'm not that unhappy, just thought they could have been a little more considerate and flexible on the dates. But in reality, these promotions have effective dates for a reason, just thought they might have been able to cut recent purchasers some slack, that's all.

The only problem with flexibility is it is a slippery slope. If Korg allows buyers in December to take advantage, then November buyers are upset. If Korg then allows Dec-Nov buyers a deal, then October buyers are upset.

I have taken advantage of some Korg promotions, and also have missed out on some Korg promotions. It's almost impossible to predict a promotion.

I would, however, be disappointed if I had just purchased an M3-88 recently. That free RADIAS-R promo is sweet!!

The Australian Korg distributor was offering a free EXB-RADIAS since mid 2007 until Dec 31. It definitely convinced me that I needed both the TE and M3. And I think it was a wise strategy for Korg. Because of the limited factory presets and months without being able to purchase or use the FW board, buying an M3 last year was for early adopters. Now that the promised features are all available, the thing should sell itself at street prices.

What USA does shouldn't be world wide. Who here was complaining about not getting a radias while us Aussies got one most of last year?

Cheers,
B
