Line 6 pod X3 pro updates and advice needed

I am considering buying one of these, are all the downloads and patches e.t.c still available as I understand a lot of the XT stuff is being fased out and does anyone know how long this will be supported as they are still available in shops? Is there any advice what to update if i buy this new or would it need any updates e.t.c. No experience in this type of thing so help would be really appreciated, cheers!

 

Cheers

    The product is still supported, although no longer manufactured. All X3 updates are still available from the Downloads tab at the top of this page.

     

    What you need to update depends on what is currently installed. Run Line 6 Monkey with your new X3 connected and you will bu guided through the installation of available updates.

        You can download the files to your computer if you wish, but you still need Line 6 Monkey to install the firmware on your X3. The Gearbox editor and the Pod Farm plugin can be installed directly on your computer without using Line 6 Monkey.

         

        Once installed the software is 'permanent' subject to X3 system failure, as can happen with any computer at any time. Just as your Windows system may fail and require reinstallation of the OS, so too may your X3 which then requires a firmware reinstallation.

         

        Yes, the software is compatible with Win7 and Win8.
