P.S.

I found a reference to a $200 upgrade. Is this accurate?

$199 until May 31, $249 thereafter.

I think it would be appropriate to give a free upgrade to people who have bought the programs during, say, the last 6 months. This would be a goodwill offering to people who bought the product in good faith, not expecting to have to pay a further $200 within a short space of time. If it had been widely advertised that an upgrade was due, people could have waited for the upgrade before buying the programs.

vegasnewbie, they did do that, but it wasn't six months. It was two months.

Also it had been an open secret that Vegas 5 was due out at NAB.

I have a licence for Vegas+DVD bought two weeks before the march free ugrade date. Couldn't persuade customer support to get a free upgrade :-(

This isn't much comfort to people who bought the program during the last 6 months who weren't expecting to pay an extra $200 SO SOON to have the up to date version. I don't think the upgrade price was mentioned at any time during the last 6 months so that people could have decided whether to wait a little longer to buy the product. That's the principle we are dealing with I guess!

That is quite an unfair policy IMHO! What date in March was the free upgrade date?

roger 74 - Thats sour man. Especially when considering you have contributed with GREAT scripts for the app. And if I remember correctly, while I was beta testing your Batch Render Pro, we discovered a character length bug when rendering to QuickTime which you then "helped" SONY/SoFo fix. Am I right? Two weeks...damn I would be angry.
