It's a ridiculous situation that, sadly, seems to be true of a lot of software.
But it's particularly bad in this case.
Here's some full list prices, using today's exchange rate.
CS3 Design Premium UK: £1655.58 (=$3256.69) US: $1799.00 Markup: 181%
CS3 Design Standard UK: £1051.62 (=$2068.64) US: $1199.00

Has anyone checked out the international prices on CS3?
I can hardly believe how badly the UK is getting fleeced.
I'm upgrading from CS1 Creative Suite and Studio 8 to CS3 Design Premium. In
the US that's $599.00 dollars, but in the UK pounds it works out to £703.82.
Take the exchange rate into account and UK customers are paying...
1,384.51 USD!!!
Sales tax in the UK is 17.5% but the Adobe price hike is a whopping 231% - W
