According to the news release on Roxio's web site: "A software-only upgrade [to Deluxe Suite] for Roxio registered customers will be available via online download in April for $19.95."

Can anyone can supply a link to this upgrade?

And when the news releases refers to "software-only", does that mean the Dazzle DVC90 Video Capture Device is not included?

If you can't find the link, it probably does not exist yet.  I would think that "software only" means just that.  I don't see it as an ambiguous statement.  The Dazzle capture device is hardware.  Damned tough to download.  :)

Well then...seeing as it's the middle of April and no upgrade as promised...and $30 for the extra software features only is no bargain, anyway...and with the bitter taste of Roxio's last upgrade offer [7 to 7.5] still in my mouth...I think I'll take a pass on this 'upgrade'.

I'm happy enough with EMC 8 Suite -- Roxio's best, in my opinion -- so I can wait for Deluxe Suite to be discounted at the big boxes.

Actually, you should not have considered all of the reply that you got as being lame, unless you read it incorrectly.  Have you called the 1-800 number that they gave you for Inside Sales?

Give 'em a call:

You: "When's that upgrade from EMC8 to EMC8 Deluxe going to be available?"

Roxio: "It's available now sir."
OR
Roxio: "Sorry sir, that upgrade won't be available until X."

Inside sales is great. I use them for company stuff all the time and occasionally can get answers to what are really tech support questions.

This is exactly what I need (the EMC 8 is limited in audio track fading control--in videowave).

I just called and the release for this has been delayed for some reason. However, they told me that they're shooting for Early May. So check your emails carefully next week.
