"Those poor people are going to get the red-boxed standard version for twice what we paid for Poser, Shade, AND the Winter Queen pack. No extras and no community helping each other find deals." I know that, but that's not the point at all. Poser 6 with Shade and the Winter Queen pack, was promised to pre-order customers only. Here's the email CL sent out before Poser 6 was released: ---------------------------------------------------------- In celebration of Poser 6 expected in spring this year, Curious Labs has created a very exciting preorder promotion. Poser 6 Special Edition not only brings to you the power of this latest release, but also offers you the majestic Winter Queen Figure Pack, a beautifully designed box created in the Winter Queen theme and a full version of Shade designer LE with PoserFusion. Poser, the Winter Queen Figure Pack, Shade designer LE and PoserFusion together, creates one of the most powerful 3D solutions available by integrating Poser into Shade. Preordering Poser 6 now insures you that you will not only receive this Special Edition offer - a product valued at over $400 US, but that you will receive this offer priced at or below the order price of Poser 6 when shipping this spring. Poser 6 Special Edition will be available by preorder for $239 US / 219 Euro / 150 Pounds which will increase after the release of Poser 6. Curious Labs is now offering Poser 6 at closer to market currency value outside of the US, making this product an even more affordable power-solution worldwide. When the Poser 6 Special Edition runs out, Poser 6 will be available for $249 / 229 / ₤157. Preordered upgrades will be available from $129 US / 119 Euro / 82 Pounds, but only those who order in time will receive the Poser 6 Special Edition. And remember, all preordered product will not be charged to your credit card until the day it ships! ------------------------------------------------------ Preordering Poser 6 now insures you that you will not only receive this Special Edition offer - a product valued at over $400 US, but that you will receive this offer priced at or below the order price of Poser 6 when shipping this spring. but only those who order in time will receive the Poser 6 Special Edition. This is not the case at all, I've been lied too, which ever way you turn it. The price contrary to the promise has not gone up but even down instead and not only those who order in time will receive the special edition, still you get the special edition when ordering. Of course you can defend CL anyway you want, I don't mind, I don't think their evil or something. I do understand their position, but I've trusted their promise and now they've clearly broken it. That ticks me off, theirs something like honor even for a business and this latest CL action wasn't very honorable at all.
