Default PSA: Universal Audio promotion cancelled

Because of a fire in one of it's supplier's factories, UA has cancelled it's current promotion which offered a free satellite with certain Apollo purchases.
UA didn't send a notice to users, so far as I've seen, so I'm posting this in case this info is important to someone. It's certainly important to me as I had my X8p listed for sale all over the place and this change nixes that idea.

This didn't work out too terribly for me after all. An offer was accepted and I was able to snag an X16 on Reverb for about $2750, shipped and taxed. I was relying on selling the free satellite, along with the X8p and Rosetta to cover the cost of a new X16, now I should be able to cover it with just the X8p and the Rosetta. Having a brand new X16 would have been nice, but I've had good luck with used gear over the years so this if fine too.

I might even hold onto the X8p for a while. If this fire causes a shortage of stock, the value of my used one might go up.
