I think you are all missing the point.
Adobe is treating UK customers differently from the US customer’s end of story. I am not saying www.bestpricedbrands.co.uk is correct here but I am surprised by the responses in the forum. I cannot believe that as Adobe customers you are happy with the status quo.
If Adobe did not have such a price difference then we (the customer) would not have Entrepreneurs like www.bestpricedbrands.co.uk. Perhaps if I were www.bestpricedbrands.co.uk then I would use this as good PR and give the extra charges (£114) back to the few people on the forum. And good luck to www.bestpricedbrands.co.uk for thinking outside the box. Is it not Adobe who is blocking the upgrade from UK to US?
Perhaps if were Abode I would offer the same product with not support like the US version and drop the price.
I read an article that stated you could go on holiday to New York stay in a 5 star hotel and buy to Master collection suites and still save money for the same cost here. I know what I would do. I wonder if the credit crunch will have an impact?
