Author No upgrade for VS 2005 with new MSDN subscription?

Hi, I have VS 2003 Pro and am thinking of upgrading to 2005. However, if I
want to subscribe to MSDN Pro or Premium for the first time, there is no
upgrade? I see a version that is VS 2005 + upgrade to MSDN, but not VS2005
upgrade + new MSDN. Would my only option be to buy the full product, like VS
2005 with MSDN Pro for $1,076.01 at Amazon?

This has been bothering me for a while, and is why I haven't done it yet.

Thanks.

Hi,

As far as I know, you will get access to the FULL VS2005 (and media) as
soon as you subscribe to MSDN. In other words, you would not want (or
need) an "upgrade" (what ever one of those is?)
