"But the EU price WITHOUT VAT is 48% higher than US price" heya, I think you should read a little into what wolfgang says. reading wolfgang's message he says: "The sales prices in the European countries are established by the distribution channels finally and therefor are a matter of competition. In Germany e.g. there are already offers of far less than 489 + VAT" So if you actually read his message, he's saying that you can already find deals for FAR LESS than the %48 that you're talking about in your post. It sounds like EUR $489 is the announced price for Europe. and hey, I have some news for you, the announced price for the US is $549!! everyone had teh same reaction until they found out what they could *really* buy the software for. So before you go off and say how insufficient the pricing is... does anyone have the actual figures for what the real discounted pricing is????
