Well, I did preorder a copy. For these reasons:

1. It's much cheaper this way.

2. I get a Passport membership for half a year

3. I get a free content worth $70 - and I may actually use some of these props in my comics.

4. The SR will come out eventually and I don't need to install Poser7 right away, but rather wait the first hype.

 

Plus, I always like to keep my hand on Poser technology, I'm actually using the Material Room and IBL light and getting the most out of my Poser6. It's time to learn something new.
