No you don't get charged until it get's released. My case was special. They had mistakenly proccessed some of the orders. Mine was one of them. They phoned me to let me know that the money was refunded and I would need to re-order. I they were quite nice about it and as I had pre-ordered 301 in the first place, they let me have the 203 with the free 301 upgrade at the preorder price. Some I think, they gave one or thier tutorials for themistake.

So, Mine is already paid for and I get to catch up a bit to 301 with the 203 version. Worked out fine for me. I keep getting amazed at what Modo can do. So waiting a couple of week before I upgrade my C5pro is no big deal. I'm just having to much fun with Modo right now. Plus It's nice to go to thier site and not have to listen to any Poser bashing. They seem to think of it as anther tool. looks like some tutorials there for Poser/modo use. You gotta like that. LOL.

Nothing wrong with competition, the better for us.
