Well, it seems obvious the upgrade's price of DP6 is 195$, all over the US.
Converting that price in € would give us a price of 123€. Yet, the price of this upgrade will be 195€, in most of the EU countries! I, personally, don't accept that treatment. Motu is not totally responsable of his distributors, and I agree with the way they sell their products, and let some updates free of charge. But in this case, I can't accept that.  Don't forget 195€ is the customer's price, not a distibutor's price (including marging...). Linking this with the average currency 's conversion will place that upgrade at +- 300$ !!!!!! OK! Of course they are ship's costs,and so on, but don't you find the difference is unacceptable? What do you think? French users and some belgian ones are furious! Let's have a look... http://nav.440network.com/out.php?mmsc=for...34&start=15 DP's french community is about 3000 people! Let's imagine how many users that represents in the whole EU DP's community... in Germany, the Netherlands, Zwitserland,Italy, and so on...? I hope this will help to get a decent price...  Otherwise, I will seriously consider Apple'offer with Logic Pro. -------------------- MacPro dual 2.66 - 8 Go - SL10.6.6- DP 7.2.1 - RME FFCE 800 - URS, Sonnox, Stilwell, Nomad Factory, Kontakt 4.2.2, Trillian, Stylus, EZ drummer, SD2, UVIworkstation, Altiverb - KRK - JBL

Note that you can't buy from MOTU directly if you are in countries with a local contract of exclusivity like France, Germany…

That sux that Digital Performer is more expensive for EU musicians.
Software should be fairly and evenly priced no matter what location. I have never used another DAW in the last 14 years other that DP but would totally understand if those who were subject to jacked DP prices went elsewhere. I would think your music stores would attempt to reslove the $85.00 difference. DP is so cool it would be a shame that it would be lost to a few extra miles and a border or two. Peace.
