Without a doubt the best buy is to update once a year at Christmas time. HOWEVER, the summer update usually has 100+ new real tracks and if just one of them is THE ONE you have been in need of a $99 upgrade is worth the price of not having to hire a musician to come into your studio to record that part. I look at the Real Tracks as the cost of hiring someone to come in and play the parts for me and since the standard rate to hire someone is usually around $50 an hour this pays for two hours. If just one real track is that good then I'm saving $ in the long run. BUT not as much if I just waited until the next update at Christmas. Problem is I CAN'T WAIT!!!! Sometimes I hate PG Music (-;).
