Yep, as I suspected, it was definitely a one-time deal. :)

This will be rectified when the update (3.3 + new toolkit) is
released.  You'll see which versions of everything are inside the box,
first probably as a big sticker and then later as a whole new box for
each product update (perhaps even for this one, I'm really not sure
how it's going to go yet, but either way you'll know which version
you're getting without having to tear plastic :).

And as to when you'll see this product, I'm just can't say yet because
I honesly have no idea how long it's going to take to "percolate" all
the way to the individual stores.  We're still gaining experience with
this whole channel thing...  Certainly no sooner than October, in any
case, since it'll take that long just to get the CDs back and uncrated
in the warehouse.
