This is the biggest jip I have seen in years!  No bargain here!

I would like to get Vue 6 Pro Studio, but not pre-order a beta.  I purchased all of the modules for Vue 5 and my upgrade price is hardly worth it--$169.  I paid $282 for all of the modules.  People who ordered one or two modules for Vue 5 Esprit are getting Vue 5 Pro Studio prices.  What's up with that?

Pre-ordering to me is ordering the final product on CD as was the option with Poser 5-7.  E-on is forcing us to pre-order, pay and download a very large file and when it is final, re-download the update and burn to our own CD's.  The manual is on PDF.  No manual this time around folks.

They say that the box and manual will be available for a discounted price of $50.  Discounted price?  I remember Carrara 3 gave you a beta on CD while you waited for the final version--also on CD.  Downloading should be an option--not a requirement.  After all, they aren't supplying the disc are they or the time to download.

The pre-order "special" expires January 2, 2007.  Big deal!  What is so special about it?  I think if people are going to buy the damn thing and beta test for them (the forums over there are full of problems already), they could at least give buyers the program on CDs with a manual, or at least just the CDs so they don't have to keep downloading the program.

Don't get me wrong, I love Vue, but Vue 5 was a big disappointment for me because it crashed constantly when importing Poser content even if they were small Poser files.  I stopped using it altogether.
