Flying to USA and buy Adobe CS6 is cheaper than buying it in Australia

Flying to USA and buy Adobe CS6 is cheaper than buying it in Australia

Haha, great news story. There's commotion in Australia due to the high prices of software over there, but just how expensive is software in Australia? Neowin came across an example from News.com.au that shows it's actually cheaper to fly to the US and purchase a copy of Adobe CS6 Master Collection over there, than to purchase the software in Australia.

In Australia, Adobe's Creative Suite 6 Master Collection costs AU$4,344 for a boxed copy, or AU$3,949 for a digital copy which is GST exempt. In the United States, the exact same product will cost you US$2,599, which when currency converted comes in at AU$2,513 - a difference in price of AU$1,831 over the boxed copy (AU$1,436 over digital).

A return flight to Los Angeles costs AU$1,147.58 on Virgin Australia, meaning if you chose to fly to the United States to purchase CS6 Master Collection you would save AU$228 over buying a digital copy locally, and it's a whole AU$684 cheaper than buying a boxed copy. If you are unlucky and forced to pay import tax and duty for the product coming into Australia, the total amount (CS6 + tax/duty + flight) would be AU$4,049, which is still cheaper than buying a boxed copy locally.

Same here in Brazil... And it has always been taht way :|
I was thinking about buying some of the programs to my home business because the price was ok, but actually it was the american version that I couldn't buy, so I headed to the BR version and I've got pretty scaried! It was more than the twice more expensive!!!
I've sent an e-mail to Adobe to asking for some reasons for it, but I've never received any answer...
That's just awful...

Who cares, do people really bother to make such news and calculate how much it would cost?
If it's so expensive, just download it.

Some people actually think the thousands of hours people put into developing the software is worth something and those people should be compensated for their work. Those people are so silly though, I mean why should they get paid? All they do is offer the best image software in the industry.
