I agree prices are going up for everything. Software is no different. I think we have been getting spoiled a bit with the pricing for many of the software these days and for so long a time. Highend apps have been dropping thier prices and lower end apps have been adding more highend features for low cost. All a good thing but how long can it last.

I only need the base. The full package doesn't support Modo and that's my high end app. I don't need any of those other plugins. I'm guessing there will be an upgrade pricing for P7 owners. My guess would be around $150 upgrade,for the base, but as I said that's just a guess. If you use poser as much as I do and want the few extra advantages, it's worth that, for me anyways.

There is the new extra content/figures also. Don't know enough about it but what you have just spent on the V4/A4 figure to just get her going. Any new figure for that matter.

No price is the one thing that I was not going to worry about until it is fact and then I'll probably hmmm for a few minuts and hit checkout.

Just wish there was better communication from SM themselves.
