Ok I have been wondering, Why do companies pull physical copies of the VOCALOID banks from sales. For example, 2 years ago I pruchased Big Al by download because that was my only option. However a year later, my computer crashed and I lost ALL of Big Al's datacab files (which contains his bank) and PowerFX never responded back after trying to ask for a new download. The only way would be to buy him again from PowerFX's website. Now I did contact Bil Bryant who said a boxed version could be ordered. I just find the poit of download-only sales rediculous. Today I went to search for VOCALOIDs on ebay (i know its not a great place to purchase from but that's not the point) Tone Rion is one of the first ones I searched and found nothing, not on Amazon or anything. I remember being able to find many sellers on ebay with her last year on both sites for the physical release. This has bugged me with others banks aswell.
