Adobe CS4 – To Expensive for the Brits

Adobe CS4 – To Expensive for the Brits
Yes the CS4 rip off is to be rolled out again. Do I mean the software is not worth the money, well that depends on which side of the Atlantic you’re on, our air-conditioned cousins across the pond can buy the full CS4 suite for a £1,000 less, yes you read that correctly. Adobe pulled this stunt last year and boy did they get flack for it, but I guess they made enough money to put up with the grief and do it again. In the USA the price is fixed at $2,499 while customers in the UK are charged a premium of £2,313,58.

A spokesman for Adobe cited operational costs between the USA and the UK, and in part this is true, running a company in the USA is cheaper than the UK granted, but being asked to pay a whopping £1,000 extra, which is a 70% increase on the cost in the USA, THAT HURTS.

Fortunately in this digital world that we live you don’t have to put up with it, and circumnavigating it is easy, let me enlighten you how.

Most people have an Amazon account, just visit Amazon.com and make the purchase, here comes the problem, the shipping, Amazon will ship it with the big fat invoice on the top of the box and the shipping filled out with the full amount, your going to get slapped on the duty, and being a law abiding person I have to say you should do it this way, however some people would visit :http://www.usamail1.com/index.php?ref=209 set up an account, purchase it from Amazon USA, sending to their forwarding mail box  and have them re-box it and re-ship it less the invoice.

I am not saying that you should exercise your right to shop overseas and deprive these huge companies of their revenue, but you should be free to shop around.
