sdvl, some of those cost increases could be hidden taxes the country you are shipping it to puts on software.  Some countries have absurdly high taxes on imports.

One more thing: to the people who say adding features will dramatically increase cost, that isn't necessarily true.  If poser became attractive to more people and a lot more people ended up buying it, then they'd be able to get away with adding more.  However they didn't even bother to add a good set of default lights to poser 7.  That would have taken someone who knew lighting 5-10 minutes to achieve.

WARK!
