I know the price has always been different between US and Britain/EU but aren't they taking the p*** now?

Mate we get ripped off on everything we buy over here, it's a joke!!! Thing is none of us ever do anything about it, which is why petrol prices just keep rising and rising with 2/3rds going in tax to the government....makes me sick

Perhaps we should rise up! A revolution!

MPs don't care about the self-employed or small business owner. They get their years salary if they don't get voted in and a sodding great pension anyway. We work all the hours and get paid peanuts!

Anarchy!

I'm going to the states this summer. I reckon I can fit a load of these in my case if I lose the packaging. Any orders?

Then they wonder why there has been a rise in piracy!
those price differences are sickening, its bad for the european economy if people are forced to buy over seas.

This is quite a nice deal, buy CS 4 and get updated to CS 5 by Adobe for free:

CANCOM UK - Adobe CS5 - The Apple Mac Specialists

I've done this before at a previous job but last time I bought the software before the newer software was released. This time I've bought it after but have been reassured by the sales guy at Cancom that Adobe are doing it to clear all the old stock. Anyway, it saved me about £300 on the Design Premium package.

Edit: Of course, it's still way too expensive!
