New Pricing Confusion

I own the normal TGB and I was planning on purchasing the Pro version. However, I just noticed the price switched to $128, unlike the $100 upgrade from normal to Pro.
So this is a price increase to those who owned the normal TGB?

Keep in mind, I'm currently a solitary developer so I don't own multiple licenses. Just a single TGB license for myself.

So to go from the standard TGB to full source TGB, I need to pay $128 for a new license? Or, will the Studio conversion mentioned in the blog do this at a cost of $28?Keep in mind, I'm currently a solitary developer so I don't own multiple licenses. Just a single TGB license for myself.

buying a new product automatically upgrades *that* product to studio for $29, whether you want studio or not, it it forced upon you on any new purchases of any engine**
*that was the offer, if its still current not 100% sure
**you will also be forced against your will to pay extra for studio upgrade when you want to upgrade your engine from one version to another, eg 1.1 to 1.2 in the case of T3D

@Cyrad: The upgrade price is $49 to convert your Torque 2D into a professional version. To upgrade your product go to your "My Product" section and click the convert text next to Torque 2D. Follow the checkout process and setup your studio account to access Torque 2D Pro and you should be all set.

This actually works out great for me. Not only will the upgrade be cheaper than before, but it will be easier for me to form a development team in the future.
The biggest obstacle I had with getting another developer involved in my projects was getting them a license. I wouldn't really want to say "if you want to help me with the game, you got to pony up some money", but at the same time, I didn't want buy someone a license only to have them not work on it at all.
Thanks for clearing that up, Bloodknight and Christopher Tauscher!

Oh, okay! So conversion will upgrade my Torque 2D to the professional version in addition to converting my license to a studio license. I was confused about that.This actually works out great for me. Not only will the upgrade be cheaper than before, but it will be easier for me to form a development team in the future.
