Benettor, the German site is the web store for European customers, if you can get into the US purchase area - as the offer link allows - you can get some much better prices. I was just about to upgrade from Poser 4 to 5 - e-download, I don't really want the manual - for 169 Euro but, thanks to this link, I've just dowloaded for 101 Euro - saving 40%! Thanks Guitta!
