If you purchase the "downloaded" version, you won't have to pay shipping. Sorry... can't think of anything to do about the money exchange rate.

I can sympathize with your feelings about buying overseas, though. There are many of us in America that would love to purchase videos, music, clothes, from other countries (England & Germany for me), but the cost is just as prohibitive.

Hang in there and don't let it get you too down. Remember downloading is cheaper than shipping, and in the end, it will be worth it.
