Pro Tools 6.0 upgrade pricing

Okay folks, I am just going to repeat verbatim what I read on page 18 of the January 2003 issue of Electronic Musician.
"Digidesign
Pro Tools 6.0 for Mac OS X ($195.00; upgrade, $75.00)". And then the blurb goes into features but mentions no release date.
Thought you might want to know.

Re: Pro Tools 6.0 upgrade pricing

what sort of people would pay $195, if $75 is for the upgrade, can you run it without hardware. Or would this be for unregistered non transferable folks?

Re: Pro Tools 6.0 upgrade pricing

I'd bet that the upgrade price is only for those who bought their new system after a certain date, probably not too far back.

Still, $195 seems REALLY reasonable to me, considering that getting some plug-ins upgraded to work with HD cost $100 a crack.

Re: Pro Tools 6.0 upgrade pricing

I don't know anything official, but at AES, the numbers were around $200 for TDM and $75 for LE software upgrades. There would naturally be some sort of time period for purchase that would allow for a free upgrade too. But again, I'm just feeding the rumor beast here. It sounds like the numbers in the original post may have been out of context or misunderstood by someone.
