I see on the upgrades for Audiophile 1.5 Terabyte HD that there are 2 upgrades that may apply to me. One is for $299 and it says "Upgrade From any Audiophile version". And the other is for $479 or $499 and it says "Upgrade from 2009". Now I have updated to 2009.5 but without the Real Paks, so I updated but did not "upgrade". Does the $299 offers still apply to me? I hope so because the 4 hundred and something upgrade to 2010 Audiophile is out of the question. Thanks in advance.

The "plug in" feature is a stroke of genius by the way. I had suggested to Rewire but this could be just as good. Can't wait.

Don't get your hopes up. It's not even a plug-in. I haven't the heart to explain it again.

The "audiophile version" comes with everything. In order to get the lower price you'd need to already own an "audiofile" version. Sounds like you don't so you'll need to fork out the big bucks.

Yes, thanks for replying. I do have the 2009 Audiophile version, so that means I get the upgrade for $299 US?

It's not a plug- in? I'll check out the forum to see if I can find out more about this.

I think PGMusic's solution is much better than having BB as a plugin.

Wait and get the program and check out how it works.

I still haven't gotten my concern straightened out. I have Audiophile 2009, did not upgrade to 2009.5 but I updated via the download. But I did not purchase the 2009.5 upgrade. So the two purchase upgrade offers for 2010 actually say the same thing, "upgrade for any audiophile version", but one is almost 2 hundred dollars more than the other. So I don't want to purchase the wrong one at $299. Can Mr. Gannon kindly tell me if the $299 option is the right one for me? Thanks.
Yeah, go Leafs go. Gawd, they are reminding me of the Ballard years.

I'm not Peter but your misreading the chart. You have Audiophile 2009. You DL the free update for the program but didn't purchase the 3 RT sets that came out at that time. That's OK. It says "upgrade from ANY Audiophile version" $299.00.
The other choices on the sheet are for " Upgrade from any 2009 UltraPAK, UltraPlusPAK or EverythingPAK" and the other is "Upgrade from 2009" and finally " Upgrade from 2008 or earlier" and don't apply to you.

Yes, the $299 AudioPhile upgrade is from any AudioPhile verion.
Note that the AudioPhile version comes with a 1.5 TB hard drive (not 1 TB). So there is lots of room left on it (about 450GB).


Have Fun!
