This is either going to drive people away from FCP or make them abit unhappy about it, I have always upgraded from studio to studio but other people might not feel the same.

No need to get your news at other sites, we've been discussing it here for awhile already. We have several threads on the topic; here are a couple:

I have no idea what the long term effect will be, but we're seeing a pretty positive reaction to it around here. Personally I plan to upgrade my copy of FCP5 to FC Studio for $99. Here are a couple other comments:

Wow!

Instead, this deal does it. Now I can get the full studio suite (normally $1300) for $199. That's not just a deal, that's a flat out AMAZING opportunity.
