Which effing sucks for folks who just bought 10 several weeks ago.

It's always the same, when a new version of PT is released.
That's just how it is, the cutoff has to be somewhere, and there will always be people who missed it and are angry now. But still, the cutoff has to be somewhere.

Listen to my friend, Jack Nicholson, because there's nothing else, you or anybody else can do:

Yeah it does. Really boggles my mind that Avid hasn't grasped the idea of backing the window up. Sorry if that applies to you. I bought way way back like in the 10.2 days so I'll be paying up-front. Doesn't bug me this time, though - some stuff in here I really really really want.

I feel your pain man. I switched from Sonar over to Pro tools when PT9 was current. I hadn't had it for more then 3 months when they announced PT10. I was shocked to find out there was no discount, no address from Avid, no nothing. Then I was assured that PT 9 would still be supported, which was complete BS (stopped at 9.06).

There was a lot of mad people around here at that time including myself. So I took the upgrade money I saved up around that period and instead up upgrading since there was no disk cache for non HD users and still was stuck on 32bit I bought Studio One, lol! I hold grudges sometimes. Im still on PT9! and Studio One is an amazing piece of kit!

I am excited for this release however! Finally some new stuff to get excited about. I hope they haven't gave away everything. I would like to be surprised with some new stuff they haven't mentioned yet tomorrow during their presentation.

Its Pro tools, you have to expect by now your wallet is going to have nothing but dust left in it after a new release

I bought it 3 days ago and I have paid $999, so they should give me a free upgrade. If not, the people who has PT 9 HD should pay more.
I'm on a strange line but they should take care of it.
Anybody from Avid should explain this. It's unacceptable.

Thanks to all.

No question about that. If avid doesn't offer an amnesty upgrade, talk to the dealer you bought it from.

That's great......but how the F is it okay that going directly from 9-11 is $200 cheaper than folks who already paid $300 to go from 9-10? WTF?

It's bad enough getting caught in a several week void due to secrecy of a new launch ....... But then to hear you are getting a double hit and that they are essentially getting a whole upgrade of $300 out of you for free.

Total BS! I would like to hear an Avid product specialist chime in in this. This feels like gouging to me.

I think they've lowered the prices in response to all the complaining last time. It stinks for the people who paid that, but I'm glad they're on this new path.
