The only thing new for Bryce at the end of the year will be the faster renderer and the OpenGL TEXTURE preview which will use your graphics card to display. IOW yes Bryce has OpenGL mode but without the textures, it sounds like this will be almost in game mode. Will have to wait and see.

Wish I had the money right now but am short. Oh and RonF the letter in the e-mail states "The only way not to pay full price for version 5.5 is to purchase this bundle. " So yes you can get the upgrade without buying the bundle but you'll pay the full upgrade price and not get the $30 off. Now from that statement it makes it almost sound like you have to buy the full 5.5 version even if you have Bryce 5 already but I doubt that is how it's going to be. More than likely if you don't have Bryce yet you can buy the full 5.5 version or if you do there will be an upgrade price.
