Upgrade: DV Toolkit > Complete Production Toolkit2

[hjorte]

The Avid store site used to have this upgrade available: DV Toolkit > Complete Production Toolkit2. It was just under $400, I think. I can't find it today, after the launch of PT10. Is it gone?

[Big Blue Barry]

I was trying to buy the upgrade last night and couldn't find it. It was $299, now it looks like the only option is to buy it at full price. To say I'm disappointed would be an understatement.

Ouch BBB. I hope they are just behind in updating the web site after the 10 release and that the upgrade will be available again.

I just read through the replay of last night's web chat that Max Gutnik did with the AirUsersBlog site. The news is not good

Comment From MartyMartin
Is there still an upgrade path to complete production toolkit if you own DV toolkit 2 and the music production toolkit? I can't find it.

I hope it's not true!
Can someone from AVID clarify this?

Really? That may be the final straw for me. Time to move on.

yeah, if this is true i'm going to be pissed!!!

[Normann Büttner]

I'm really pissed as well if this is true.
The upgrade from HD8 to HD10 is so expensive (for a pure software upgrade) that I really would like to leave HD and go with CPTK instead. As I own a DVToolkit2 license that would have been a viable option. But with the upgrade deal now gone it makes no sense.

In contradiction to Max Gutniks statement in the chat my German ProTools Dealer here in Munich asked a Digi rep, who said that the deal should be back on the Store after they sorted out all the ProTools 10 chaos on the site. So I still have some hope

[cubivore]

yeah, i hope this works itself out, but i'm not getting my hopes up. why would we want to pay $2400 to upgrade? ($400 pt10 + $2000cptk). there's no update to cptk. in fact, if looks like they REMOVED features like multiple video tracks.

I'm hoping you're right and its just not on the store at the moment. I was planning on upgrading for the automation features before 10 was even an option. Just had other priority's that kept me from doing so yet.
