VCI-300 MKII Now Widely Selling for $499 + Rebate for a free VFX1

Versionist 8:15 PM - 22 November, 2011
The prices seemed to have just changed today (Pro Audio Star, Amazon, B&H, etc.). Is this a holiday thing or is it an indicator of a new version coming out soon?
DJ Baby Raj 8:18 PM - 22 November, 2011
Prob cus vci-400 is coming out.
blackavenger 8:58 PM - 22 November, 2011
Pretty Good Deal!
Ragman 3:40 AM - 24 November, 2011
Wow that's an unbelieveable price. Especially the fact you get the VFX1 for free. Yeh something is delinitely about to drop and I don't think it's the VCI400.
blackavenger 5:59 AM - 24 November, 2011
WinterNAMM is around the corner......

Vestax can name it all they want but there has to be an upgrade when you see a price drop.

or a discontinuation ;)
DJ CAPRO 11:36 PM - 24 November, 2011
Maybe it's in response to the A&H DX drop... I think there's a good reason for Vestax to get more of these units out there to become the real standard. Being the visible standard like Technics turntables should be a long term priority with so many new controllers out there that are cutting more corners every time.

The free VFX-1 is simply because the software effects aren't worth much more than zero dollars IMO.
DJ CAPRO 11:41 PM - 24 November, 2011
Also, I don't feel bad at all having spent full price just 3 months ago for both the VCI and the VFX because they are both awesome...

I just wish Serato would pay Pioneer to program their effects.
DJ CAPRO 11:51 PM - 24 November, 2011
Jeez... You can also get a free decksaver at agiprodj.com that I spent another $60 on last month

Deal lasts till Dec 31... NOW I wish I waited :( lol
GI Trackt 12:06 AM - 25 November, 2011
Aww man somebody needs to buy my Xone DX asap so I can pick up a vci-300!! The deals keep getting better and better!

i just wish more controllers had means to be open to external fx and all the complaints about their quality would be squashed. discreet outputs for an external send on the all in ones. im not too interested in buying more itch hardware til something else offers the discreet outputs my V7s offer

Just picked up my VCI-300mkII from Guitar Center. They where not too happy to sell it to me for $499, since it was below their cost, but they went ahead and did. They didn't honor the 15% black Friday coupon however. Still a good deal. I already have a VFX-1, so I will probably sell the new one when it comes in, which means the VCI will be even cheaper for me. Last year I sold my VCI-300mk1 for $500 when I bought my NS7, so it is a win win for me.
Solidsnake 9:04 AM - 26 November, 2011
Yeah the price drop is probably due more to just being out for so long. I got mine brand new for 599 like 3.5 months ago now. I had already bought the VFX-1 to use in SSL and ITCH, so do not feel like I should have waited or anything.

Lol......I'm thinking the same thing.......ITCH effects is a joke.
Dj Ace 7:26 PM - 27 November, 2011
Not for long...I am guessing ;)

True, but this is not due to the hardware.
DJTJ 3:34 AM - 28 November, 2011
I'm thinking about picking up a vci. I live in Canada. Anyone know if the free vfx-1 applies to us Canucks? If not its gonna be $500 plus $250. For a little more I can get the ddj or ns6.

FYI: Vestax has extended the rebate offer through Jan. 31
cachepe.zzounds.com Unfortunately, the item must be purchased from a dealer in the USA and shipped to a US address.

I just purchased the VCI-300mkII and like it so far. However, i wish Itch had the same capability as Scratch Live. The free VFX controller should make the purchase worth while, even if the effects aren't all that.
GI Trackt 6:37 PM - 3 January, 2012
I ordered one too! Can't wait till it comes in :-)

The VCI-400 isn't an Itch controller (strangely and unfortunately) so it has no bearing on VCI-300.
Panotaker 3:01 AM - 6 January, 2012
Got my free VFX-1 in the mail today!
Dj Ace 4:07 AM - 6 January, 2012
when did you send in for it?
GI Trackt 4:08 AM - 6 January, 2012
It has to be postmarked Jan 15th right? I'm still waiting on my new VCI-300 to come in...
GI Trackt 4:09 AM - 6 January, 2012
Ooo I just remembered reading somewhere that they extended it actually...
Ragman 5:38 AM - 6 January, 2012
Yeah I think they extended until the end of January.
Panotaker 6:42 AM - 6 January, 2012
It took less than two weeks to get here from the day I sent in the rebate.
Dj Fitty 9:10 PM - 7 January, 2012
I just picked up a Vic-300 II from guitar center for $480., how do you get the vfx-1 for free?
Ragman 10:30 PM - 7 January, 2012
Mail-in rebate. Click the link below: ;-)

DREWMINATTI 12:37 AM - 15 January, 2012
Does anyone know exactly when the extension for the rebate expires? I just bought the VCI-300 on the January 10th but it says you have to have the rebate postmarked by the 15th and I'm going to miss that deadline because the post office is closed on sunday and the ups store says when they post date the letter it will be for the 17th.
Panotaker 12:58 AM - 15 January, 2012
I think they extended it till the end of January. Just send it, all they can say is no.
Dj Ace 9:41 PM - 15 January, 2012
Just received the vfx 1 on Friday! And with the vestax cf2 fader it is a sick small setup
DREWMINATTI 2:38 AM - 16 January, 2012
Well I hope they did extend it because I bought the larger Odyssey case to hold both the 300 and the VFX
nik39 1:45 PM - 16 January, 2012
Nice deal!
Kennedytran 5:16 PM - 18 January, 2012
DJ Fitty, GC had the MKII for 480? Their website said $500. Is that a coupon or used item?

Sorry for the double post.

Hey guys, I found the extended rebate form. Hope this helps

I called and told them that's all I had and they made the adjustments so with tax everything came to $480. It was new in the box.

Good stuff. I saw a coupon online today from GC for $50 off coupon code CYC150 but you have to type vestax in the search bar to find the discount on the vci300.
Dj Fitty 9:05 PM - 25 January, 2012
Returning my second mkii in less than a month. The first had a faulty sound card and this one all the cue buttons don't work. Hope this next one works out ok
Versionist 9:18 PM - 25 January, 2012
What was wrong with the sound card?
Dj Fitty 10:40 PM - 25 January, 2012
the sound would all of sudden cut in half or get much lower at random times.
GI Trackt 7:13 PM - 20 February, 2012
Just letting you guys know...I called in to American Music and Sound to find out about how soon the VFX-1's ship out, and they said 10-12 weeks after you send in the rebate. Just gotta be patient!
DJ I.O 12:22 AM - 21 February, 2012
I sent my rebate in before the New year and it only took less then 2 weeks to get my VFX1... but I gotta be honest the VFX1 or the effects in Itch are horrible to say the least.
Panotaker 1:42 AM - 21 February, 2012
Mine took less than two weeks too. They are just probably giving you worst case scenario.
dj shon g 7:43 PM - 1 March, 2012
Oh Yes.... just got mine within a weeks time!!!!
