I looked it up to see if I was mistaken (while knowing I was probably not since I remember I felt 'rushed') but Devialet really communicated a dead-line (July 15th, 2014) for upgrading the D-Premier to 240 specs and found the email with subject "UPGRADE D-Premier: this is the end...". See attachment.
There's also one other email before that with subject "Antoine, Upgrade your D-Premier to a Devialet 240 before it's too late." and I see I have communicated with Thierry Massoubre (does he still work for Devialet?) about it, he also wrote: "We will probably end the upgrade program after the summer vacation. We will announce a date shortly. I really encourage you to go through the upgrade for your D-Premier if you can afford it."
So, thank you Devialet...again...
PS: I'm happy for the current D-Premier owners that they can upgrade, it's not that but I personally do feel misled by Devialet.
