DJM-450 free rekordbox DVS inc, not fair for DJM-900 NXS2 customers

The CDJ / DJM setup (eg. the Nexus2 system) is primarily designed and marketed as a stand-alone DJ solution. In this scenario, rekordbox is used to organize and prepare your music, as well as optionally link to the players over ethernet. While they have the capability, the objective is not for this system to be used primarily as a controller for rekordbox DJ; we have several other dedicated solutions in that category. The DJM-450 and DJM-900NXS2 are targeted at two very different market segments and as such, the decision has been made to include a rekordbox DJ license for this entry-level product.

Thanks for your feedback.

I don't have a NSX2 but I assumed Rekordbox DJ would be included in the $2200 mixer! Very strange they omitted this.

Maybe they feel that your $6000+ setup (not including turntables) didn't justify the free license. 

Pioneer Marketing folks -- if you really want RB to take off, I suggest including it in anything thats over $1000 MRSP. Basically include it with the new NXS2 CDJs and DJMs and of course all the DDJ units.
