The price is the same for the download and the hard copy. (Aside from shipping.)

And it IS on sale. I seriously doubt it will ever be cheaper than it is. Special price for pre-ordering, 15% discount from Digital River, plus $50 coupon. I'm paying $69. I don't expect the price to get lower than that for years, if ever.

I'd be buying Poser 6 anyway. I want to see it ASAP, in fact. So why not buy now, when the price is lower than it will ever be again, and they are giving out bonuses for pre-ordering?

If you think you're sick of P6 threads now, just wait until the program actually comes out.
