Just make a "buy pre-order + current version" price.

Take the pre-order price for OOTP X ($29.99).... now add $20 to that price... and you get an eLicense for OOTP 9 AND a preorder for OOTP X. Problem solved.

Preordering OOTP X for $10 off the regular price of $29.99 is cool. But for those new to the community, asking them to spend another $39.99 (more than the pre-order price for OOTP X)... to get OOTP 9, when everyone knows that OOTP 9 for them is just a hold over until OOTP X comes out... well only someone with tons of expendable cash is going to drop down $70 for both right now (at this point in time, this close to OOTP X release).

The point (earlier post) about a 2008 and 2009 Ford Ranger is not nearly the same concept. Few people buy a brand new car every year. But many people buy the new version of their favorite software franchise each and every year (or each and every version).
