"Don't get the DS 4.5 Beta, if you Wanted/Got the DS4-Pro give-away."

There is no charge for the 4.5 update and I strongly suspect that before long (if not already) the free version that people receive will be 4.5.

"It says right in the review that the OLD PLUGINS WON'T WORK! "

Till they are recompiled to work with the new SDK. DAZ will update all of the plugin's it owns and most other people will as well. It is unlikely anyone will charge for those upgrades. It is doubtful however that plug in's not updated to version 4 will be. Though since the SDK has not be finalized till now some may be.

"Not a bad business idea, give away the out-dated old to try and sell the new,"

The new will be free as far as anyone knows.

"but for now I'm firewalling DS4Pro from updating. "

That feature is not functional at this time anyway.
