Well, street price used to mean more than it did awhile ago. Catalogs usually offered software for prices significently under MSRP, however, that has been changing. Online stores can sometimes offer software for less-- Amazon had a very good sale on plugins awhile back for 30 to 50 dollars less than MSRP. Poser has no significent competition for figure animation [I hate calling this an animation program cause I never animate, oh well] that lessens the chances for heavy discounts. I think the Street Price, while still a valuable number, is less and less available, especially at the lower levels. You will not get the Street Price from the manufacturer-- only from an outlet that can afford to cut overhead-- that generally means catalog through mail or online. I used to never pay MSRP, seems like I'm always paying it now. Emily
