I was $101 is not a bad deal either.

It all started back a few months ago when someone posted that 3D World Issue #100 was to include Carrara 5 Pro for Free!!!   After driving around to several book stores I was able to obtain a copy of this issue.  Inside that issue there was also an offer to take the upgrade route from 5 to v6 with a coupon code.   But it seems the prices have continued to fall since the magazine was printed and the coupon was still valid with the current lower prices.

With all things, though  I just buy something when I need to buy it, rather than wait till the prices to fall.

And I agree with Pinklet... getting a good deal is a matter of perception.
