Should I purchase Final Draft 7 on Amazon for $170.00?

Question

I need a really good screenwriting program to start my movie script and I heard that Final Draft 7 was the top of the line industry standard. I read some reviews and they cited that there were a lot of bugs in the program and that it had a lot of problems. Since all of the reviews were from 2004, I was just curious if there had been updates since then that have fixed the problems that people seemed to have? Basically, is it worth my money to get that program or are there others I should invest in? Thanks!

Answer 1

If you're going to buy it, I recommend that you buy it from screenstyle.com. It costs a little more, but they also offer you the option of downloading the program directly from their site so you can start using it immediately (they'll still ship you the manual and CD), plus they offer a bunch of bonus freebies. The current release is version 7.1.3, so most of the bugs should have been fixed by now....

Answer 2

So the draft is at 4 2day? properly 4 isn't a stable time 4 me 2morrow...I say at 5:30 is a stable time....4 me is that cool? I say 5 da earliest I incredibly have song practice after college & i are not getting the whole week off like diverse u adult males... in basic terms Thursday & Friday off... So is 5 a funky time...I cud prolly be on 4:30 perhaps we see...
