Hey Bruce,
Thanks for bringing that to our attention. That's a great offer. I'm
not about to jump ship or anything, but for $100, it's definitely
worth it to have a copy of Sibelius to play around with.
Cheers,
- Darcy

Dennis - The fine print on the October half-off offer is:
North/Central/South America: Offer only available to Finale,
Encore, Mosaic and Sibelius Student Edition users residing within
North, Central and South America (Allegro, PrintMusic, Finale
Guitar, etc. are not eligible).
I should have mentioned this in my first post. Apologies. The
notice for the offer is on the home page of Sib. http://

I finally decided to take the plunge and invest in Sibelius 5. I
may later decide that Finale is the better program, but for now I
want to compare. As you may know, Sib5 is available to Finale
users in a $199 Competitive Upgrade. The good news for me was
that this month, October, Sib is offering the upgrade for half
price, $99. So instead of buying the Fin08 upgrade I have
invested in Sib. I don't think the terms will get any better.
I'm still a little worried that this is a case of the grass being
greener, but at this price I don't think I'll get clipped.
Hi Bruce,
Where did you find this offer? I just wrote to Sibelius to ask why
the prices were so much higher in Europe, and got the following
reply. Which means that anyone could ship to Europe if they want
to, since Sibelius admits that they can't "enforce" this dubious
policy.
In answer to your question regarding price difference between the
USA and Europe, we have to price our products taking into
consideration the price of our competitors over which we have no
control. As software along with nearly everything else is
significantly cheaper in the US we have to adjust our price
accordingly, this is simply economic fact. In addition higher
local prices in the UK (from everything from rent to salaries)
mean that it costs businesses more to operate here than in the
USA. Sibelius USA only ships to addresses in the US but we cannot
enforce such regulations on our various US dealers who are free
to ship overseas if they wish.
Dennis
