I think EA is saying just the opposite with the statement.  That is,
if you don't upgrade NOW it will cost you an additional $92.95.  That
sounds like list price for DPaint III.  So they are saying that if
you UPGRADE LATER you pay full price.  Now if I'm paying full price
For DPaint III, where does it say I can't resell my original
DPaint I (or II)?  EA's use of the word UPGRADE equates to "buy".
