Well, I finally didn't resist Vegas Pro 9 at $150 + extras...;-)
David Ruether
When Sony Vegas came out, I resisted buying it on the $200 special
for the upgrade from Pro 8 (including a $50 additional item, with choice
among three possibilities) since the list of new features did not appear to
be exactly overwhelmingly useful for my purposes, since Pro 8 required
subsequent updates to run properly, since people had been reporting
bugs, since none of the additional items were very important to me, and
since my Pro 8 was running just fine. As expected, the price for the
upgrade rose - and I didn't really care...;-) But then, for version 9c, a
deal arrived in an email from Sony that was interesting. Any version of
Vegas Pro could be upgraded for $150, and it included the DVD Pro 9
Seminar Series and 6 months of free email/'phone support (worth about
$380+, if all parts were useful...;-). I "hemmed-'n'-hawed" for a couple
of days, then "bit" (heck, they even included shipping, and there was no
tax). If for nothing else, I've been thinking that it would be fun to "roam"
around in high-resolution stills (up to 4096x4096 pixels) and still get
HD-quality video images. The offer is good only through December 30,
the order must originate from links within the email, and some version of
Vegas Pro must be installed on the computer (or at least it auto-filled
the box for the serial number when I ordered it). Anyway, just letting
people know...

It may be that there is still time to sign up for email from Sony, at --
www.sonycreativesoftware.com (scroll to the bottom of the page) and
get the offer, if wanted...

It's not clear (or stated) on the Pro 9 upgrade page (above) that
the price is $149.95 (and not $249.95) until December 30th, and
that that price includes the DVD Seminar Series and the 6-month
'phone support for free - but maybe if one knows that this deal
exists and that ordering from this page includes everything (including
shipping) for $149.95, then all would be OK. ;-) 'Tain't very obvious,
though...;-)

If you go to www.sonycreativesoftware.com and scroll to
the bottom, you can sign up for email offers. If you sign up
soon enough, you may get this offer in email. But, it is worth
trying to begin the purchase sequence from
www.sonycreativesoftware.com/upgrade/vegaspro and see
if the lower price appears. Also check the box for the DVD
Seminar Series, and in the shopping cart, if all goes well, you
should see (with free shipping) --
1x Platinum Support Plan @ Free
1x Vegas Pro (Packaged) @ US$149.95

Then sign up for the Sony email quickly - they may still offer it
to you in time that way...(?) Good luck (did you have a version
of Vegas Pro installed on your computer? The order may need
to "see" this (and it auto filled in the serial number in the
appropriate box when I began the buying process).

FWIW, when re-registering my Pro 8 after reinstalling on a new
machine, the registration process itself alerted me to the deal
discussed above. I received all three items for $149 - I chose the
downloads though. Maybe if you were to re-register or reinstall your
previous version you'd see the deal. Worked for me.

didn't work. Then I ran Vegas, and a pop-up told me about the deal
and gave me a link to click on. This time it worked. I still had to
manually fill in everything except for the promotion code.
Thanks and Merry Christmas

You can order it either as boxed or as a download, same price,
so.............;-) (Better do it soon if you are going to order it, since
the last day the offer is good is the 30th.)

Hmm. This makes me wonder. I just went for this on ebay
Are you saying there's something else that I have to pay for that I'll
need to make it run?
I've got a demo version of Vegas Platinum Pro 9, the interface looks
very similar, I was under the impression they were close to being the
same program.

,,,,No. Sony is very good about supplying free updates for
their programs that have valid serial numbers and are registered
with Sony. After installation, go to the Sony site and download
the Pro 8 updates (currently ver. 8c) and install them.
I've got a demo version of Vegas Platinum Pro 9, the interface looks
very similar, I was under the impression they were close to being the
same program.
,,,,They are similar, although 9 does have some added features
that you may, or may not, find interesting...
