Ron, do the math!
by Mike James on Jan 17, 2006 at 7:18:05 am

I have Premiere Pro 1.5, Encore DVD 1.5, Audition 1.5, AE standard 6.5 (the old video collection). You with me?

The upgrade to the new video collection is $500... but I already have Photoshop CS2. So all I get for my $500 is Premiere Pro 2 and AE7. Which makes no sense because I can upgrade seperately for PPro2 and AE7 for $199 apiece ($398). But after spending that $398 for PPro 2 and AE7 upgrades that leaves me needing to then upgrade Audtion 2 for $129 and Encore DVD 2 for $149 to take the upgrade path to ($666). I wonder if someone planned the math to hit a demonic number.

So I'm left with no video collection standard to video collection standard upgrade path to simply get to version 2 apps. The last collection upgrade was $250 total.

I hardly see the logic in all this. I mean who the heck is a professional and doesn't already own Photoshop. And why remove DVD authoring in a video collection / bundle???

Just insanity.
