I'm beginning to think by soon they mean December.
unless nobody at PGMusic is watching the forum (which is highly doubtful) they know that we've been wondering whether there will even BE a dot-five relase in 2012. In the context of that knowledge, to say SOON if they really meant DECEMBER would be monumentally ill-advised.
So, the little plastic MIDI guitar purchase will have to wait. My next online purchase will be 2012.5
(coming SOON to a shopping cart near YOU!)
---------------
according to Webster's New World Dictionary:
SOON (adverb)
1) in a short time
2) fast or quickly
3) a lot faster than December*
*(actually I made that last one up)

Pat I hope you are right but I'm beginning to lose faith. Even so I'm willing to wait a few more days before I give up and upgrade to Sibelius 7.
The harder I work the luckier I get.

OK. Now I have the 2012.5 fever too. Someone here told me the new version often comes at a discount and that, along with all the good things I'm hearing here about BIAB, has me just about convinced. So, I'm finding myself checking here every day to see if the 2012.5 is out yet! 
John, don't worry about it, get it now. They always give new people the update if they've bought within 30 days of the release and I've heard of a few cases where it was longer than that. The company is very generous about that. Get familiar with it now, then the new stuff will be easier for you.

But does PG make promises that if you buy just before a sale then they will refund you the price difference. I dont think so, any upgrade version yes but price difference refund NO.

Has anybody considered the for the "Coming soon" announcement may have just been PG's way to get Pat out of the parking lot? The guy with the leaf blower probably has a lot of cleaning up to do Carkins

Ouch! Dang, you may be right!
Speaking of the PGMusic parking lot... if you take the address shown on the CONTACT page
( http://www.pgmusic.com/contact.htm ) and plug it into Google maps, you'll find that there's a street view for this address. (I don't even see a parking lot there, which proves once again what an unreliable source I am)

In that case they have released it 6 weeks ago and nobody told Pat about it
Now the cat is out of the bag!

I know we are all having a bit of fun here, but in all seriouseness once we get into Septemeber its a short wait until middle of December and then anyone who wants to upgrade can get the whole lot and save the mid year (did I say mid year!) price.
It actually works out at around $60 when the maths is done for the ultra pak.

Well if we actually get 2012.5 I'm beginning to wonder if that means we'll have to wait till 2013 to get the 2013 upgrade.
The harder I work the luckier I get.

I tend to have less money available at Christmas, for obvious reasons... so it has made sense for me to upgrade at whatever time of year there was a reduced price and a bunch of new realtracks.

This is beginning to remind me of a boy watching out for Grandpa's visit on Sunday. I have been visiting this site so many times that I feel if we could get rated for visits I could have a chance of catching up with Mac......
You need to do a lot of posting to catch up with Mac - the guy is legendary!!!
And I might add, one of the most valuable assets in this community.

One thing I would point out is that PG Music never said that the next release would be "coming soon". A first time poster, and one time poster at that, said that PG Music said the release would be coming soon. Do we want to accept that as Gospel? One thing hanging around forums has taught me is that when you see a brand new personality show up for the first time, and he has exciting news, be suspect.

I just pulled up my "orders" folder in my email and found that on August 18, 2009, I ordered the audiophile version of BIAB. Since my habit has been to place my order for available upgrades within a day of their announcement, that would tend to indicate that in 2009, PG didn't release their mid year upgrade until mid-august.

Second-time poster here Looks like "soon" was reasonably soon. I checked again this morning and am pleased to see the .5 on the end. I was hoping the special pricing would extend to people other than 2012 owners, but it looks like that's not the case - makes $ense for them I guess. I have BIAB 2006 so I guess I can expect a few differences - although it looks like it still has the same interface basically.
BIAB 2012.5 (upgraded from 2006), Windows 7 64-bit.

The switch from 2006 to 2012.5 will have MANY new features.
You'll be amazed.
2006? Are you sure?
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
