I was surprised by the prices too. I feel the upgrade price is fair given the hard work we've heard went into upgrading her. I just feel a little slighted by the fact that those who have waited to purchase are getting everything we purchased before plus the extras (that came about through many of our discoveries and suggestions) at the price we paid for the original. Why buy now when I know I can get it faster better and cheaper in a few months? It's a habbit of the tech field that is causing me to think twice about when I purchase. It's always happening when i bought my Imac Version 1a a few months later there was version 2 with all the improvement I was wishing were in mine and a few months later there was another. Same thing happened with Ibook. And on the software front I've started to put off upgrading as well I didn't get photoshop 5 or 5.5 I waited for 6, I skipped Illustrator 9 and I haven't gotten Poser Pro pack either just because I've heard poser 5 is coming. As a company be careful how often you upgrade or what you charge for those upgrades. Or before long you'll have the majority of your customers putting off buying version 1.0 of a product and waiting for version 1.5.
