Was I the only one that tried to download the Hydra Head one, and wound up not getting it due to wanting a valid price? I tried to get either that or Phoning it In (whichever one worked), and the checkout doesn't work on my end.
Yeah – couldn't download it for the same reason, but hopefully this will be fixed sooner or later.
