Unless something has changed, $20 gives you a 3D background, more regular fish, and bug fixes. It does not give you invertebrates and specialty fish. My $20 vote option above would give you the boxed version AND any specialty creatures/invertebrates that are released in the following year. It really is a nice value added box. Obviously, the box would come with 1.0. This is basically a golden ticket for 1 year of ALL upgrades and add-ons.

I've clarified the poll answer to be more specific.

When people think of upgrades, they just ASSUME bug fixes and little add-ons. Adobe Photoshop, for example, doesn't come with free upgrades, but the bugfixes are just expected (and come frequently).

I was just doing some advance research that Prolific might want to look at. Like what value could Prolific add to the box (instead of just offering a price break) to make its purchase by current owners of the download-only version more attractive and more mutually beneficial.

I will confess my vote. I'd pay $35 to have an autographed version and coffee mug. And I mean a real signature, not photocopied. Obviously Jim would have to be agreeable to this. Perhaps a limited edition of 300 or 500 signed copies would be available to people who already purchased 99L or 1.0.

Again, just ideas.
