What is confusing about a sale on software? I always advise users on the Magix forum to wait and watch for special prices; don't pay the full price. Magix usually has special pricing on software once or twice a year.

The upgrade price is interesting, but I'm still not going to renew my expired update service. The latest patch (today) for Video Pro X has not fixed the problem of the contents of XAR objects (animations) disappearing after a reboot, in fact, it's worse. Not happy.

@Acorn,
I checked the price for several currencies for XDPX on the Magix site:
Canada: New C189$; Upgrade C119$
US: New 159UDS; Upgrade 99USD
UK: New £109; Upgrade £69
Germany: New € 159; Upgrade € 99

Exchange rates today: 1 € = 1.10 USD, so they are close.
1 £ = 1.24 USD, but my British pounds are no longer any good, worthless. I tried to buy deodorant at Heathrow last year, pulled out my 1£ coins obtained from a prior trip, and was told that they were worthless.
