What version of PTLE comes in the boxed version?

[scour79]

I am upgrading my version of PTLE to 8 but I am running a PPC Mac. I know that 8.0.1. is the latest version I can use with my Mac and that 8.0.3. has recently been released. What version is sold in the box, the newest 8.0.3. or just the base version 8.0.0.?

If you're buying the disc by itself (as opposed to getting it in the box of a 003, Mbox, etc.), I'm pretty sure it's just the basic 8.0. The main reason is that the individual boxed were a limited time only and were discontinued. Therefore any of them that are still out there are from the earlier part of last year, before the updates. These can still be found at some Guitar Center stores, or online at Musiciansfriend.com or Music123.com (last I checked).

Most retailers, like Sweetwater, are just selling the download version.

Now if you're buying an interface that comes with the software, I'm not sure about that, but more than likely it's the same because they've probably been sitting in the warehouse for a while.
