The Plus XP thing was frustrating. The total cost of the full Aquarium if you started by buying Plus XP worked out to $62. Nobody except Microsoft (they didn't tell SereneScreen or anyone else, even their OEMs, that it would be so much until a few weeks before release) intended for it to be so expensive.

Do purchasers of the the retail boxed version of 1.0
get any kind of a price break on the new version 2.0, in as much as people who downloaded 1.0 are getting 2.0 for free for the next 90 days? |

This is being decided at this time. I don't think it will be the full price, but I just can't get confirmation one way or another.

It has not been decided yet. I have always favored free upgrades, and will continue to do so. But there are two serious factors here.
1. We can afford to reward the on-line purchasers, because we net about $18 for each copy sold online, compared to about $2 for each copy sold in stores. 2. My own work on upgrading the actual program has always been free, and I don't plan on changing this policy in the near future (Creature Paks will be extra). But the Prolific artists and programmers deserve to be paid for their contributions also, so I can see their point in charging for upgrades.
