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

Thank's for your reply emgcarra, but you are not totally forced to accept unfair rules.
In this case, Motu isn't the cause of that. But there are some commercial strategies better than the others, for instance Toontrack... http://www.toontrack.com/s20.asp No comment -------------------- 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
