Upgrading from XP to Vista

So, my new laptop is shipping, but with Windows XP Home. I've been hearing many good things about Vista, so I'm wondering if I should upgrade.
Is there an option to upgrade, keeping all of the files and registry and whatnot from the XP installation, or will I need to reformat?
What's the cheapest way to get Vista, and what version should I get? Should there be discounted copies at my University's book store?

And yeah, when I installed vista from XP Pro, it created a file on my C drive called "Windows.old" which was basically my entire C drive BEFORE installing vista. Allowed me to copy/paste anything I wanted and then ditch the rest. Worked like a charm.
