If the $129 price includes the NI Kompact Player (Special ACID 6 Edition w/ 2GB of sample content), then surprisingly it is a cheaper upgrade than I thought it would be. I remember the ACID Pro 5 upgrade was $149.

Cheers,

Yea, I saw this today in my copy of Muscians Friend Catalog, and it is available to order on-line now; scheduled available date 3 April, 2006. Isn't it odd none of us have received any notification from Sony about availability! I've writtent the customer service department three times now and just sent an email to a Sony Press Release person to get the scoop about the release and pricing, only to find it on Musicians Friend Website. Sonic Foundry always did a much better job of keeping current users informed and offered pre release ordering and pricing (special rates); no such offers from Sony thus far. At least as you say the upgrade pricing seems very reasonable. Just a little irritated by the lack of real time information about this product release. Hope they send something out very soon!

Is this deal available from anywhere in the UK? MF can't ship to UK. When I ordered the upgrade for Vegas from Sony US they added VAT and gave no discounts. I'd like to get the upgrade from a shop or webshop in the UK.

It could be with the very competive nature of the retailers (they do want your business), that some of them are jumping the gun, before Sony gets to issue a formal press release or mass email.

MF claim that ACID 6 is released on 4/4/6. Could this be true? It fits the Musikmesse timeframe.

for ap5 i remember buying it directly from sony. Very smooth if I recall. I downloaded the demo, and ordered the boxed cd. The box arrived before the 30day demo ran out, and I was good to go. Will this be the case with ap6?
