I suppose that at that price it would be churlish to ask for the upgrade cost from FCS! 
OTH: No DVD SP or Soundtrack?

FCS Still available in UK Apple Store
Looks like you can still get Final Cut Studio. In the UK Apple Store it's on 24hr delivery @ £834

I'm waiting for reviews (and money, for that matter). I've been using iMovie to edit stuff for the past couple of years, and in all honesty this does seem more like an "iMovie Pro"-not that I have a problem with that, but half of the big features they announced I feel like I've already been using for the past two years on a $50 consumer-level program. I used DVD Studio Pro once and was looking forward to when I could get my hands on it, but now it's apparently been combined with FCP... does this mean you cannot build DVDs (and menus) from scratch anymore? That would be a disappointment.
thanks for reply mbox and aces
i think i may use it for a possible appleTV purchase
but will wait for reviews to see what quality is like
otherwise stay with blu-ray disk

Uh, nooo, that's the RETAIL price. It may be *lower* than before, but don't confuse a lower RRP with "discounted".
EDL, I guess?
Kind of sucks but it happens whenever a NLE changes this drastically.
I presume FCPX doesn't overwrite your old Final Cut so that's the other answer.
Here is a better outline of the state of affairs

So if it earns you money, you have even less of a reason to complain. Is being "angry" going to make it less money? Get over it, buy it, move on.
Your post said you had multiple copies. So you used to pay 598 euros to upgrade 2 Macs and now you're paying 317 euros to upgrade 2 Macs.
Still don't understand the problem...
Wow, really??
I'd assumed it'd be like Quick Time X and Quick Time 7 and they'd live side by side. This is disturbing news if true.
This is the one program that Apple should port over to the Windows 7 platform. I can't imagine they are making more $ by selling the server vs the much larger market for FCP in the Windows world.
Waiting on this one....
It's my busiest season, but without being able to easily move projects from FCS7 to X, no multiclip function and no clear path for authoring DVDs, this looks like a wait and see purchase. No reason to jam up my business for a month while I work through these.

Export your project as an XML file in the old Final Cut Pro. Then open the XML file in the new one. It won't be 100% perfect, but it works pretty well.
(You can also use XML's to go between any major NLE programs)
Sorry to be dense if I am being so--- but DVDSP is now built into FCPX and not a stand-alone?
