In case anyone is interested, the release date is scheduled for May
11.
Some details are at http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/vegaspro9?keycode=64214
Edward Troxel's newsletter at http://www.jetdv.com/vegas/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3514
is a fairly good review of some of the new features.

Thanks. An introductory "pre-release" price "special" is offered, which
includes the choice of one of three additional items plus $50 off, but then
the price of the update is still a hefty $250, not very tempting for me,
given that the upgrades/new-features included are mostly not all that
useful (for me). I also looked everywhere in the listed features, specs,
etc. and I could find no reference about whether it would (or continue to
not) fully support 24 Mbps AVCHD at export, with or without "Smart
Rendering". Then there is that "small" matter of the Vegas early-release
set of bugs that seem to take a long time to (mostly) get fixed. I do like
Vegas, but I will be staying with Pro 8c for now...;-)

David,

I upgraded thru an e-mail that I received from Sony. The price was
$184 plus the free gift, FWIW.

Hal.

Thanks for the info. My Sony email said $250, which included $50
off - but it wasn't clear if that made it $250 or $200. Plus the choice
of one "extra" was included. It is now obvious that the price is $200
for the boxed version with a "pressed" disk and the extra, and
$185 for the download version. That makes it more tempting, but
even more tempting is buying the Pro 8 upgrade now (even though
I already have it) for $100 and then get the Pro 9 upgrade for free
(if the timing is right, but without the extra, but with a "pressed" disk).
'Course, there is always doing nothing, since I'm happy enough with
Pro 8... Ah, which choice to take...? ;-)
