More than a week ago, Microsoft officially took the wraps off the full Windows 8 pricing, revealing that every single Windows user who wants to move to the new OS would have to pay $69.99 (€53) for an online upgrade.

Well, Amazon is making this offer a lot more attractive and is now selling the Windows 8 upgrade on a physical disk for just $39.99 (€30).

“What’s the catch?” you may ask. Well, since Windows 8 is already a bestseller on Amazon, the online store decided to launch a special offer for all buyers.

Every single Windows 8 customer gets a $30 promotional credit to purchase anything from Amazon. Including the new operating system, that is.

If you wish to do it the hard way, you can still find the basic upgrade package sold for the full price at retailers across the US or directly in Microsoft Stores.
