5094.0. "DPaint III upgrade" by TROOA::KUPKE () Wed Oct 02 1991 14:39

    I just made some inquiries at EA about DP III to DP IV upgrades for 
    canadian customers. I was told to submit the cover of the manual plus
    US$60.- plus US$7.- for shipping. This seems like a lot for an upgrade when
    I only paid CAN$90.- for the original software. Can someone please
    comment on this.

5094.1sounds good to meSAUTER::SAUTERJohn SauterWed Oct 02 1991 16:025
    The list price for Deluxe Paint IV is US$180, so you are getting
    180-60=US$120 for your CAN$90 investment.  I don't know what the
    current exchange rate is, but if it is close to 1:1 you are getting a
    good deal.

5094.2Not cheap, but reasonable...MKODEV::OSBORNEWed Oct 02 1991 17:3116
> Can someone please comment on this.

Oddly enough, I just got through to EA after about 50 calls to their 800 number,
and got the same price, The cover of the manual + $67 US.

The price quoted at a local store is $182, so $67 doesn't seem too bad. I've
been buying the upgrades faithfuly since before it had a Roman Numeral. It's
never been a disappointment.

The 800 number is 800-245-4525. If you live in a state other than California,
I think the total price will be $67. (i.e., no sales tax) The address to send
for the upgrade is:

	Electronic Arts
	PO Box 7530
	San Mateo CA 94403
5094.3upgrading from DPIICIMNET::KYZIVATPaul KyzivatWed Oct 02 1991 20:185
Just in case anyone else was wondering, the fee for upgrading from DP-II to
DP-IV is $97.  Everything else is the same.  I was told to send it to the
attention of U40-GINO.
