"Final Cut Studio can be purchased for $999 (or $899 for educational buyers). That's the same price the suite was being sold for as of July 2009, but $700 more than its newer replacement, Final Cut Pro X."

Yes, the new one costs 299. Way to make a buck...

Yeah, I mean it's not like that's the original price of FCP7 before it was pulled or anything.

Wait, yes it is, FCPX is basically a different product and production house (the kind of people who will buy a 5-figure piece of single-user software if they need it) have asked for FCP7 to be available again for their production due to features missing from FCPX and the inanity of switching mid-project.

FYI, Avid Media Composer (one of FCP7's competitor) is 3 times the price of FCP7.

Seems like if you really need the old version, you can probably afford the extra $700.
