“Although you can access SAN locations from different computers on a network, only one installed copy of Final Cut Pro can use a SAN location at a time.”

I’d hardly call that SAN support. One of the points of using a SAN in a video workflow is so multiple people can use it at the same time.
Final Cut Pro X shipped today on the Mac App Store for $299.99.
As I feared, the other utilities that normally ship with the entire suite are broken out as separate apps. Right now, Motion and Compressor have been introduced at $49.99 apiece. I’m a heavy user of all three, so that takes me up to $399.99 for the suite. I also use Soundtrack Pro, but there’s no sign of that program on the App Store yet. I’d imagine that will be released as well.
Since I have workflows that rely on FCP, I’m holding off on the upgrade at the moment. I’ll be watching though. One thing I should point out that is rather compelling. Xsan is built in to OS X Lion, so you will be able to get a nice, fast, redundant disk setup to feed FCP. That’s pretty exciting. The barrier to entry just keeps lowering.
