If you are a new licensee of Berkeley Unix and pay $1000 you get the complete 
kit including the console media.  If you are just upgrading from 4.2bsd to 
4.3bsd and pay $600 you only get the tape and updated manuals. 

However, the difference in price is not just the console media.  
For new licensee Berkeley has to do more paper work, such as verify you are 
actually licenced with AT&T.  This is where the extra cost is incured.
