Movie Studio 9 released
Posted by Geoff Akerlund on August 2, 2008 at 12:08 amI got an email today saying Vegas 9 is out. I bought version 8 less than a month ago for $115. Now they want me to upgrade for $55. Talk about a slap in the face.

August 2, 2008 at 4:41 amI would contact Sony Support. Within 30-days they should make good and give you a better deal. I don’t know if they will… but it can’t hurt to ask.

You mean 64-bit Vegas Pro 8.0, not 9. Sony said they would release a 64-bit version of Vegas Pro 8 this year and that hasn’t happened yet. I can’t imagine version 9 is anywhere in sight.

I was at NAB 2008 when Sony announced that the 64-bit version of Vegas Pro 8.0 will be FREE to all existing 8.0 customers later this year. Just like DVD Architect 5.0 with Blu-ray support was FREE for all existing DVD Architect 4.5 customers.

We’ll just have to wait and see what REALLY happens, and more importantly, WHEN….Dual 2.5 G5, IO, Kona LH, IO, Medea Raid, UL4D, NVidia 6800, 4Gig RAM

August 5, 2008 at 4:21 pmI wrote a fairly curt email to sony support and received a reply with my new serial number! So it looks like I purchased Vegas 8 at just the right time. “Sony Creative Software will honor a free upgrade to the next available pro product if your purchase of the previous product occurred within 30 days of the current product’s release date.”
