I don't know about the overall upgrade pricing for OSX, but if you wanted to go from 10.4 to 10.6, they required you to buy the full suite with iLife and all for $129 or whatever it was. $30 upgrades are only supported if you upgrade every time.

Although not officially supported - it works - I upgraded straight from 10.4 - 10.6 last month.

This is only true if you want to have iLife. I personally don't use iLife, didn't when I was on 10.4, and upgraded to 10.6 from 10.4 for $30.
