Upgrade timing question

Pal wrote on 2/23/2006, 2:28 PM

Sony is offering $125 off if you spend $500 so I could upgrade from MS Platinum to Vegas plus DVD for $450. That's the best deal I've seen in the couple of years I've been watching it. My dilemma is I think there could be some major HDV upgrades in the next version of Vegas. I still have a couple of dv projects to finish before I start on my first major HDV project so I'm in no big rush. Of course I have no idea when the next version of Vegas will come out or what will be in it. So is anybody else thinking about this or have some helpful insight to guide a hesitant and confused person? Thanks,

I think it's a good deal if you have the extra money ( I think you have to buy it directly from them and not a discount vendor - but I could be wrong).

To quote a former vice president of the United States: " A mind is a terrible thing"

Or how about this one " A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"

I am not sure where you are getting your information on this next big upgrade - perhaps you could elaborate.

I will conclude with a famous Mark Twain quote: " I've had many worries in my life. Most of them never came true"

Going to pricewatch and doing a search for vegas 6 -- yields a Vegas 6 + DVD for $408. It's disappointing to me that the 'upgrade price' from sony is so much higher than what can be found from a distributor.
