upgrade to Photoshop 6 Extended in the USA: 399 USD
upgrade to Photoshop 6 extended in Italy: 389 EUR (equivalent to 494 USD) without VAT, which becomes 471 EUR (equivalent to 597 USD) with VAT

Thank you very much, Adobe Italy.
Thank you, thank you very much. Really. I feel it.
Charged 100 USD more only because I'm a stupid milking cow European...

Wow, that summarily bites. What if you bought it from a US vendor and uh, someone sent it to you?

How thorough are your customs guys when they examine a package?

Impossible, my purchase would be an upgrade, linked to my current serial number, which is linked to my address. I already tried to buy the download version from the USA site, it does not allow me.

I understand the need for regional pricing but cmon, you cant price a product almost double what it costs across the pond

And then companies wonder why some people resort to thepiratebay and the likes for sourcing files Rolling Eyes

That's much also comparing to other adobe products, I mean:

Upgrade for my whole production premium suite is 514 eur (including VAT), while upgrade for After Effects only (that is something I'm considering) is little more than 200 eur.

Way too much, anyway, if they make a new version every six months.

Outrageous. I find even the US price outrageous. Something I'll have to pay one day.
They have us by the balls.

CS5 was released over two years ago.

CS 5.5 about a year.
I bought the suite for around 2000 euros in late 2010, and a year and a half later I am about to reach 1000 eurs of updates: I think sometimes they drop a release just to have someone update it.

Obviously it was just to say, if it really wasn't ok for me I just wouldn't have paid for the update.

What we need is something like GIMP- After overcoming the learning curve it should be able to do most basic photo editing PS can do. Price: $0 / €0 / £0

Adobe CS6 Web & Design Premium for Students & Teachers costs similar price - you can be a part-time student, more than 26 years old and use it on private computer (on two machines!) also for commercial stuff. Contains PS, AI, IL, DW, FL and more Wink

Btw I also doesn't like the fact that US have everything cheaper aaand that in same time US average salary is three times higher than PL...

As much as it pains me i find aperture to be an excellent middle of the road system.
CS6 is over the top fine if you are doing vector graphics, etc but for photoediting lightroom or aperture are more than ok
