Aparently most people that are requesting refunds; full or for pricing difference issues, is requesting cash, not DAZ vouchers. That speaks volumes.

And of coarse DAZ is saying be patient, thye are processing tickets as fast as they can. Bets on how many people don't get a refund because DAZ didn't get to their ticket in 30 days? Ya, that one is a stratch, I'll admit it. But then I find it hard to believe DAZ has made enough sales of C8.5 to have to spend hours day after day to get all the refunds procesed. Unless everyone that bought it wants a refund. Even then I still don't see it taking more then a couple of days. But then I don't know, might take 3-4 hours to process each one. {which is actually kind of sad in it own right}.

But that is one of those things that just mystifies me. Why would any one pay for something when they can plainly see the price is wrong I just don't get it.

"The current upgrade path to Carrara 8.5 is from any version of Carrara. That does not mean that will be the only price structure, though I wouldn’t expect it to get cheaper than it currently is." DAZ_Spooky

Read as don't be in a big hurry to grab this "bargain" as it wont be the only time to get C8.5 at $85.50.

But hey, lets look on the bright side, I'm sure this will be the best in carrara sales  since DAZ bought it. And why not? Any one that has any version of carrara can get the big discount whether they bought it or got it free in a magazine. So even though I got C5 at full price; no dicounts, and have been buying upgrades from DAZ since, some one that got C6 free in a  magazine can get it for the same discounts I can. 

That just sounds wrong to me, but hey, this is the new DAZ. Being a customer for 7-8 years means nothing. The only customer that counts is the one buying something today.
