I got both of those e-mails. And the correction email "could be misunderstood" as well. All it says about prices is "The cost of the sidegrade from Vue d'Esprit 4 to Vue 5 Infinite is $499." According to their web site the $499 price only applies to sidegrades from the boxed edition, for the download edition it is $549. I wonder if the people writing these e-mails actually bother to check the pricelist at all.
