It forces me to the "International" store, where the only currency options are Euros or Pounds, both of which convert to much higher than the $US amount. I used a link someone else posted which took me directly to the US store, where you do have the option of $US, but when I go to order it says "The product you have selected is not available in your area."

Ok, thanks. I've never IMed before.

"as for export fees eu adds a vat fee to every online purchase, nothing anyone can do about that." But I live in Australia, I'm not subject to VAT. And other people that have already ordered have said that VAT is added ON TOP of the higher price.

"Although not 100% equal to the exact currency conversion the additional costs are in relation to export fees." Export fees? To download the program???

That PC Connection pic shows Poser 6 item number as #377195. If you look on their web site, that's the item number (and price) they've got for Poser 5.

But that doesn't mean the new version won't sell for the same price...
