...and Vegas 8.0a/DVD Architect 4.5 (brand new in the box) only cost me $300 out the door about a year and half ago (if my memory serves me correctly), AND this package included 3 training disks from VASST!!!!! GO FIGURE!!??
The law of the software jungle says everything decreases in value as time goes by...lowest just before the introduction of new software. Same as everything else.
I have no problem with the $185 upgrade... it is a steal. But didn't most of us get an email with a Promo Code when V7 and 8 was released with a great upgrade price bringing it down to $149? Again, not complaining, maybe the $185 is the 2009 price. But I believe last time those who jumped quickly didn't get the lowest price. Anyone else remember this?
Does any body around here read anything for themselves? Save $50 if you order now!!! Geez
"Upgraders will save $50 during our introductory period and get their choice of a NewBlue Sampler Pack, The Sony Sound Effects Series sampler, or Sound Forge Audio Studio software."
Obviously there was a small Oops in the first day of selling the V9.
Sony found it and I got the following mail:
Thank you for your recent Vegas Pro 9 upgrade pre-order. In reviewing your order, we noticed that the special introductory upgrade price was not correctly applied to your order. You were originally shown an upgrade price of $234.95, however your order qualifies for the promotional price of $184.95.
So now we're just looking forward to receiving the new great version.
