Apple Puts Legacy Final Cut Studio Back on Sale

[miK.]

Hadn't seen this here, although many are probably aware of it by now...

From macrumors.com:

"Apple has put the previous version of its Final Cut Studio video editing suite
back on sale after a mixed reception to the new and completely redesigned
Final Cut X. We received word that Apple had issued a memo this afternoon
announcing re-availability of the product. We confirmed with an Apple telesales
representative at 800-MY-APPLE that Final Cut Studio, part number MB642Z/A,
is again available for $999 (and $899 for educational customers). The product
is only available through the 800-number and is not available in Apple Retail
Stores or on the Apple Online Store."

I'd say this is a sign that there's some major league scrambling going on behind the scenes to get FCPX up to snuff. The pro editing twitter streams are up to their eyeballs in talk about the process of switching to Avid and, to a lesser extent, Premiere.

First Apple actually issues refunds on FCPX shortly after the launch, now this. Oy. But, how you recover can be more important than the fact that you stumbled in the first place, so let's see how well Apple deals.
