" Today I went on the net ready to purchase 3DStudio Max 6. And the value for it is $3000.00
How in the world can anyone afford that (Or even pay that much) for a software and it does so well around. Here in Canada will cost about $5000.00 to $6000.00 I know 3DS can do wonders. But come on, that it just rediculis. Sometimes I wonder why the copyright thing just fails. Who is 3DS max for anyway?"

Well, programs like 3dsMax and Maya are able to charge so much because the people who buy the software (mostly) are going to use it for professional purposes, therefore they will make back their investment on it with just one deal, and most likely reap a large profit still.

I agree Discreet needs to lower their price, AND offer better customer support (which by the way really stinks) if they're going to continue to compete with Lightwave and Maya's market value.
