Upgrade price - how long does it last? -ACID Product Family

Subject:Upgrade price - how long does it last? Posted by: KevinJackson Date:12/17/2008 7:01:11 PM Hi! I have ACID Pro 6.0 and would like to eventually (money being the limiting factor) upgrade to 7.0 after using the demo for a while. I see the upgrade price is $134.95 / $149.95 US - will this be the upgrade price for a while, or does this expire at the end of December? I thought it did, but can't find anywhere that says it does. If it's a lower price only until December, I might upgrade anyway, if not, I might wait for a couple more paychecks before I upgrade. If the upgrade price will rise, please let me know what it will increase to, if you know! Thanks a lot! Kevin Message last edited on12/17/2008 7:04:21 PM byKevinJackson.

Question 1: I would like to know: Will the upgrade price remain at $134.95/$149.95 for an upgrade beyond December? [YES/NO] Question 2: If not, what will it rise to? [VALUE] Question 3: What is the window of opportunity for this upgrade price (if one exists) [DATE] Thanks a lot! :)

Reply by: Chienworks Date:12/18/2008 4:22:27 AM This is not a difficult question for SONY's sales/customer service department to answer, although they might be told not to answer it for various marketing reasons. It is a very difficult question for other users to answer because it's inside information that we don't have. Now, of the above two groups ... guess which group participates in this forum.

I think I found out what was up - just got an email saying the bonus headphones and loops package (which I'm not really interested in) finishes Dec 31st, so that's all good! I'll take a punt and guess the upgrade price will stay similar for a little bit after that. If I'm wrong, no big deal! Cheers.

Since it doesn't specifically say that the upgrade price is time limited (only the bonus stuff), they are legally bound to honor the current price unless they send a future announcement that indicates a price increase (which would certainly be a classic "shooting yourself in the foot" move). But if that were to occur, you could make a decision to purchase at that time. At this point I personally am waiting for more bug fixes before I even try the demo.
