i personally feel software asking prices are a bit high, i understand the whole needing to make a sustainable profit amongst industry competitors.

but as stated by above poster, the only away around it is to find similar cheaper alternative products that really are brilliant, *massey* etc.

especially considering how rapid upgrades come along within this industry plug in wise as well.

in some cases you'd be close to buying a peice of hardware that can do a better job in most cases.

there must be some way around the high prices, i feel a drop in price would incline more people to buy the product, i have always felt buying the product is much more beneficial (tech support etc) so always have, but we're living in a world where quantity over quality is becoming an issue. and of course the ignorance of people is to blame but also i feel the companies for the high prices could be at slight fault as well.
