Yes, it was announced at the keynote that the upgrade will be available for $29, that's not going to be a time-limited offer. There's no confirmation on the UK price yet.
The fact that some people have already had their £7.95 for the 'upgrade if you've recently bought a Mac with Leopard' offer makes me think that it's going to ship early September or perhaps even late August.

Thanks Feek - so how much is the upgrade from Tiger then?

The usual price of £89 I would assume (£59 for HE customers).
Make sure you don't have a PPC Mac (non-Intel) though.. it won't run Snow Leopard.

I didn't want anything that Leopard offered, so of course I wasn't going to upgrade. It seems only reasonable to me to have a mid point price for a Tiger upgrade.
" You can't expect to be able to skip a major release and still get the cheap upgrade deal" - I upgrade my the main OS I used frequently and for free - so yes I can expect that.

Buy Leopard disc on ebay (£35-40)
Buy Snow Leopard disc from Apple (£29)
That's another way to consider..

You can't seriously be expecting a free upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard?
EVHs idea would work out the cheapest.

I'd happily pay a reasonable price for the upgrade($50 perhaps) but not $89, that's more expensive that the Windows 7 pre-order

You could have done if you'd upgraded to Leopard. But you decided to skip it. If you wanted nothing in Leopard, what is it that you want in Snow Leopard?

I've already paid my £7.95 for the up-to-date upgrade disc 
If the latest version released to developers is the GM then at no point, ever, does the installer ask for you to prove that you had leopard installed.
I'd wager on you being able to walk into an apple store and pick up a copy for ~£20 no questions asked too.

But if it IS the GM, y'know the version sent to the disk printers, then happy days.
