Well... I admit I hoped that CuriousLabs could do it right for once for European customers... that things could finally change for us here. No way I have to see. European users are still "B-class" Poser users for CuriousLabs. Doesn't matter that all financial surveys show that the power of purchase of European money is not even comparable to that of US$. CuriousLabs still thinks that the US users are the users to take care of, and the European users are the rich and wealthy idiots to be abused and neglected. Yes, abused. Because a price recharge from $329 (US) to $489 (Europe) is something that I would consider excessive even if it was applied by a third party reseller. Being it applied by the producing company itself, I do not consider it anything else than an insult. Yes, an insult, because there is NO reason WHATSOEVER for a price recharge of $160 on a total of 329 to be applied. There is no shipping cost excuses or VAT excuses that can justify such an huge price increase when there is no reseller implied. The only explanation is that the US user base is the A-class user base to be pleased with low prices and offers, while the European user base is the B-class user base that is good to get back some of the money that was invested in promoting Poser5 to the US users. Shame. Shame again. As an European user I feel discriminated and have lost all faith in CuriousLabs now. P.S. why here they don't even offer pre-ordering for updates?
