Has Adobe ever offered a competitive upgrade from Aperture? I've been an Aperture user for a couple of years and am happy with it. I would seriously consider changing to Lightroom with a little incentive, but I wouldn't be willing to pay the full price.

Competitive upgrades are usually offered by a company that either has a new product or is trying to gain market share on the market leader. Since LR is the market leader, I doubt you will see this as a promotional tactic. Might make sense for Aperture or C1, but not even sure about that; they each target somewhat different markets.

There's an incentive through some of the association membership benefits such as NAPP or ASMP, a student or teacher, etc.
Generally, you get about 15% discount off the software and if you purchase/upgrade to Photoshop CS-5, you can purchase LR for about $100.
If you are a member, another benefit of your membership. If not a member of a group, sometimes this will pay for that membership and give you lots of other goodies as part of the process!

I purchased CS5 last fall but don't recall seeing any LR purchase offers. I will check the install DVD's to see if there is an offer on an extra disk. Thanks

Well if u have CS5 you kinda already have LR develop module - Camera RAW.
Same RAW processing pipeline, same result. It's just without the DAM feature of LR Library and no Slideshow, print or web.
