All I have to say is that I purchased the Final Cut Studio suite a while back for when I went off to college. It cost me $1,300. No that isn't a typo, and keep in mind, that is not including the computer I am running it on. Granted, I'm not just using it for AMVs, but regardless, video editing is not cheap. Ultra-high-end Avid systems can run in the millions of dollars, for example. If you cannot shell out the little bit of money that it costs for consumer-grade editing systems like the one you just mentioned, then it is time to learn Windows Movie Maker inside and out.
Also, very rarely will you want to get an older version over a new one, so get the newest one that you can. There again, you should also do your research, and figure out what one works best for you. Whatever version you used, if it is comfortable for you then go ahead and buy it, though normally, the newer versions have more editing features.
Then again, I'm sure that's what everyone that switched from iMovie 6 to iMovie 08 thought, too.
