I pre-ordered P7 just now I probably won't use the 80 bucks in content however, I think the program will be a winner as far as running on dual-core, dual channel RAM systems. Anyway, I've read enough and the 6 reasons have convinced me. Looking forward in test driving the program!!

Oh man!   there is a 50% discount tomorrow.....   

Only kidding...      I too ordered the dam thing...  two weeks ago...

I finally did it yesterday.  I knew I was going to order it during the presale (because I want the free content even if I don't ever use it) but I wasn't sure which reason would do it for me.  That little blurb at the bottom of reason 6, the one about using the GPU to see your shaders in preview, was just what I wanted to hear. ( Well, actually I wanted to hear shaders AND shadows in the preview, but maybe that'll still be in there...)  As of now I haven't heard reason 7 yet.  I sure hope it's something to do with better joint bending, weight mapping, or softbodies.  It would almost have to be something like that to top the previous 6 reasons, wouldn't it? 

I don`t have the money to be a beta tester.

I'll probably be ordering it too this week but I'm thinking of ordering P6 (won't hurt to have a 2nd license since hubby and I can't use the same version at the same time) and then getting the free P7 upgrade.   Does anyone know if the content paradise subscription is also offered with that too?

I'm gonna order just as soon as my new Credit card with 0% interest for 12 months drops through my door this week!

Kalypso: As far as I know the upgrade offer also includes the Passport sub.
