No HD stuff, so is Vegas 6 still necessary

I have been using Vegas 5d with no issues and great results using my DVX100a. Since I'm not on the HD band wagon, are the other non HD parts of Vegas 6 that super over 5.0d? Another way of pitting it is if you take out the HD is Vegas 6 still worth the $199?

Only if faster render times, better media management, audio sync are important to you would you want to shake out the $200.00.
If you can save 10 minutes a day, 5 days a week, 4 weeks pays for Vegas 6 upgrade. That's outside of some of the other new tools. The Track Motion presets being back are worth a lot to some users, secondary Windows display is a pretty big deal, and so is nested timelines and VST, IMO.
It's not all HD, just a couple parts.

I'm finding 3d tracks rendering much faster.

Did you register your Vegas 5 license? If so, click on "My Account" at the top of the screen, click "My Software", and scroll to the bottom of the screen. Your upgrade offers are listed there.

Yes I'm all registered with all the versions from 4 on to through 5d and I have seem the upgrade offers. I was hoping for 199 minus 50 burt didn;t get that when I tested the download of 6. It still stayed at 199. I hope the e-mail will have the Key Code in it that will do that. That is what I did for the Vegas 5 back then, but hey, things may be different for Version 6. I'll definately plunge before May 31st.

My e-mail said Vegas and DVD was 199.00. That is the fifty off. I don't think you will get them for 149. I hope I'm wrong.

You are right, Vegas+DVD upgrade is $249 full price; $199 with the discount.

Maybe the confusion is with Vegas 6 upgrade (without DVDA). This one is $199 full price. I don't know if there is a $50 off deal on this. I don't get offered one (i.e for me, both Vegas6+DVD and Vegas6 alone show as $199).
