With the 5.0 to 5.5 upgrade at $149 this was specifically done because we felt it was the fair price to charge for that release, this price was unprecedented at Avid for Media Composer but we felt it was the right thing to do at this time. With 6.0 we are trying to get back to a more standardized set of prices so customers can make purchasing decisions for now and the future.
