Before your evil posting here :), I had made it through only purchasing a bunch of new Cinescore themes... when you rudely reminded me that the sale was winding down, I panicked and just HAD to buy Acid Pro for $135!!
I too took advantage of the sale prices, I was tempted to Acid Studio, but I really don't have much time to create all my own movie music from scratch.
At the beginning of the sale I bought Cinescore; I then got Vegas Pro 8, and today I bought a new Cenescore pack.
If Vegas Pro 9 comes out in the near future at least I will be better positioned to get a great upgrade price.
I upgraded my copy of Acid Pro 4 to version 7(b) for $87. I think this is the best deal Sony has offered, especially given the other products that are bundled:
iZotope Acid Pro Effects Rack
Garritan Aria (what is this?)
Native Instruments Guitar Combos bundle
Submersible Music Kitcore Drums
I'd say this is the SECOND best deal sony does. When new versions come out you can upgrade yours for 1/2 the upgrade price. This is the next best thing. :D
I've been paying for Vegas upgrades since 2002, numerous times (and getting DVD Architect along the way of course). I have only paid for Acid one other time. And the version 7 bundle may be worth the price of the upgrade.
Now if I get that Radiance software for a $99 Vegas 9 upgrade price, that would be Awesome. And I might change my opinion of the best deal ever. Oh yeah, and throw in Colorista that directly supports Vegas, since we're makin wishes.
