Hey getting ready to do the upgrade thing here to 8. I have an old version of squeeze and to upgrade to the latest verison($699) just doesn't fit my budget especially now close to the holidays. Any lower cost options here? Also correct me if Im wrong but the production package doesn't come bundled with MC right, just squeeze izotope and newblue?
Squeeze is not $699 for an update to the latest version - it's a fraction of that. Check their upgrades for Avid users here:

For Media Composer, if you want a perpetual license (NOT a subscription), you can pay $299 for a year of support. That includes technical support, and ALL upgrades that are released in that time period - getting you to v8 and possibly beyond. When you stop paying each year, you can't upgrade anymore, but you CAN keep the version you had when your support ended. You MUST do this before the end of 2014, otherwise your current license will remained locked at its current version with no further upgrade path.
Alternatively, there are the monthly or annual "subscription" options, which include Symphony, Squeeze Lite, Newblue, BCC Lite, and a few other options - but you must keep paying in order to keep your software active.
ok, thats was the pricing on the avid store. It was also on squeeze 9 so theyre behind I see.
Wow, I just saw that. That's a huge jump up from Sorenson's own pricing - I'm not sure why that would be the case. I can't think of any actual feature differences. Even without the special Avid pricing, Sorenson advertises $499 to go up to Squeeze 10 Pro, from Squeeze 7 and older.
fyi:
just got an email this morning from eye scream factory:
