It drives me mad this one.
There really is no justification in UK users paying over the odds.

No, not wierd: Adobe prices in the UK are between 60 and 120% heigher that in the US : For a plain Flash licence, I priced it: It would cost me the same to: - Fly to NY from London - Pay 2 nights in a NY hotel - Buy Flash from Office Depot or similar Than to buy from the Adobe.co.uk online store in the UK It's simple: $450 becomes £450 or €450 convieniently forgetting that 1 $US = 1.6 Euros, or that the UK version is not even translated into "UK English" ("color" is still "color" and not "colour"). In French (but tables are universal): Prices in the US, France and UK with the product markup in percent and constant euros with the US being the base price: http://www.danielpage.com/archives/32#more-32 (Royaume uni = United kingdom).

Hi Josh. Sounds weired. But I guess whoever was helping you mixed up with Australian dollar verses USD. I do not believe that there is any way that Australian will pay 90% more unless there are any Australian tax!!!
