I dont remember having to pay a dime for 7.1. But maybe I just have a  
shitty memory.
The reason you had to pay for the 7.2 Crossgrade was it came on two  
DVD's.
The content disc alone, whether you actually install it or not was a  
dual layer dvd on top of that.
Not like Apple could put up the discs and let everyone on dialup drag  
down their site for years on end.

Although I still like to think they couldve given us some sort of  
downloadable UB installer for it instead of making us buy it along  
with like 7GB of loops Im never going to use and dont even have  
installed.

I lucked out in the beginning though.. When I went to buy an academic  
version of Platinum 5 at Guitar Center they didnt carry em. But the  
greasy sales guy still sold it to me for $400 (cause I told him never  
mind Ill get it from audiomidi.com) which has allowed me to stay on  
the regular upgrade path ever since.
