Ohh come people be realistic. Amazon.com charges immediately for the product NOT when it ships. You have to pay up front when you preoder video games and dvds/videos from a retailer. Catalogs online, what have you they all charge your card immediatly when you give to them. As I understood it when I preordered, cl would be raising the price of upgrades after the preorder date. If you have read the fine print the 300 some price isn't suggest retail...suggested retail is 599. though the street price at release was expected to be 399.(see news releases) And of COURSE they are benifiting...what company in their right mind would do something with out beneifit to themselves? Not any I know of in the US. tHis isn't akin to stealing meshes or bad business. they are offering a slightly lower price than if you buy it later. I applaud CL...at least they have been doing something with poser. Most old Metacreations software holders havn't done diddly squat since they were scattered to the winds. BTW DAZ brokers most of it's products(anyone trying to use a gift cert knows this) and they don't stop you from contacting the author for help or questions...in fact they encourage it.
