Contact Apple direct....They may send you the file or give you a link to use...SL isn't really supported any longer.

There seem to be plenty on eBay, this being the cheapest at time of writing ($2.25). The "white box" version shown there is the upgrade.

Make sure you buy the retail version, not the machine dependent grey restore disk!

Btw, the so called “upgrade” disk contains the full version of Snow Leopard. I recommend a clean installation.

I'd cleanly upgrade to snow leopard, but you still will not get all the iCloud goodness until you update, (and depending on your MBP Spec) to Lion.
From what I've read, that will be your limit.

Just for the record, that's what an upgrade is - the full version. You might be thinking of an update, like going from 10.5.6 to 10.5.8. But jumping from 10.5.anything to 10.6.anything requires the full version, because it's new.
