    Default Re: Xara pro upgrade pricing problem

    I've given up. Maybe they'll fix the currency (lack of) support before v17 is ready for prime time.

    I should just qualify my "lack of" comment... I have had a few email contacts with a support woman in the US, but like most support people these days, she either doesn't read past the first line or just doesn't understand the issue, which is that when I am passed on to PayPal the price to be paid is higher because it's the same numerical amount in US Dollars which are worth more than Aussie Dollars.

    Is anyone at Xara reading this? I imagine that you signed up with Magix to get more sales. Making the payment process confusing, convoluted and defective resulting in overcharging will have the opposite result. I buy software from several other vendors and never suffer the cr@p and wasted time that is my current Xara experience.

    So what was the price you paid for the upgrade? Was it the £69 (US$ 85)?

    thanks

    Yep, in my case anyway.

    Can you give us the link you used, that came in the email notice, to see if I can get the same deal?

    THANKS!

    Did the same to the US URL, but $99 US there. Sprung for it anyway.

    That's AU$150.80 today, plus conversion fee. Seems a tad unfair to me.

    In the email offer I got it said Vegas Studio, but when I received the receipt the link was to MAGIX Movie Edit Pro. I already have that, but an older version. So which is better (and is this latest version of Movie Edit)?

    I have used Movie Edit Pro Plus/Premium for the past 3 years. So really prefered that over the Vegas Studio license. Although I believe it is the very basic version so not sure the actual value to me. I did send a request to Sales for an upgrade quote to go to Plus or Premium.

    Would be so much smarter of Magix to give me a credit to use on any Magix or Xara product I would actually like to have.
