Default Just want to see your opinions

Dont you guys think it is unfair to pay for upgrading to vB5.

When people can get vB3+4+5 for same price?


-====

Like, when i upgrade to vB5 it was 190$.
i already paid 300$ for vB4 and now i paid 190$ for upgrade...

and New Licenses get vB4 + vB5 for 250$??? what? when i got my vb4 it was 300$....


Just wow...thats my own opinion.... no offence....

Agreed. $40 saving to upgrade? May as well just add a new licence if you really want vb5. The upgrade doesn't even save 20%. Lousy

Look at it this way. You have no idea how much something you're going to charge for something you haven't even conceived of yet. So can't really charge now, based on what you're going to charge then. And just because you charged a lot in the past, doesn't make it fair to charge even more now. Follow me?

Paying to upgrade is the worst decision. Give $50 more (if I remember well this is the price difference) and get a totally new license. Then sell your vB4 license for $100 and you just earned $50.

vB Sells New Licenses for 285$ - that includes vb3,4 + 5

Upgrading vB 200$ - only includes vB 5............its really not fair to us the old clients thats been with vB for long time.

Nope, $249 now. The "upgrade discount" really is a slap in the face for loyal customers.

You're right. I just seen that the difference is not even $50 that I thought, but just $40. And something unfair at least for those of us (22% as they said) that we've bought vB4 Suite. We paid $299 and we need to pay $209 to get the same version with those who have paid $199 (the forum only version).

I'm very regret because I've bought vb5c.
full of bugs.
lack of support.
I've owned vb5c but I'm unable to use it because it's full of bugs, slow.
I run a brand new site.
I don't want to get the negative impression from the users when they visit my site for the first time.
it's been seventh month since I bought vb5c.
it's like married with the woman that you can't sleep with her.
it's really sucks.
