+1 I just recently tried to consolidate my licenses into one single subscription covered Ultimate package. It would have been very favorable for me but unfortunately, my reseller would only offer a stiff +/- 5000 EUR option, dropping Maya and upgrading Premium into a single Ultimate bundle. If I would just go and get my subscription for my Premium bundle and the Maya license instead, even including pesky late subscription fees, which are imho sending a wrong message in terms of marketing anyway, I would end up at "just" roughly 2200 EUR. This doesn´t make sense at all and really, really sends the wrong message. I would have thought AD would be happy to simplify things and even sell the full pack?

They say this will be effective from February 2013. I haven't heard of the general price increase but wouldn't be surprised - I guess it's more the question of "when" than "if". And Softimage XSI is really worth every penny, it used to cost 70,000 or something ;-) Hey, just kidding anyway. I'm out of the loop already.

"bets"? They are called "Screws" as far as I know ;-) Applied to the thumbs or other sensitive body extensions they can be very effective. Especially in an endless spiraling economic crisis they are needed to extract shareholder value from customers who might have become a bit reluctant to let go of possessions, even if it's for the greater good. It's easily fixed with the: S.C.R.E.W.E.D. 2013 Subscription Benefit Pack Extender Set. Once applied, the needed flow of fresh blood, ahem, cash, is guaranteed.

It seems that in the future you can update up to 6 or 7 versions back, but have to pay 70% of the full original price (which funny enough was increased quite considerably for XSI not that long ago). I'm sure an Autodesk representative would be able to explain why this is a fantastic thing to happen. I'd call it your basic miss-use of a monopoly.
