And as far as I know, Adobe does not allow upgrading europaen licences with US-Updates of CS4, German Upgrade for CS4 Master Collection is 1926 Euros ( + taxes!) which is stil more expansive than a new US-licence. Besides: Any ideas, why is the download-version is more expensive than the boxed version in Germany?

And It was the exactly same download - there was no difference... so I got my buddy in NY to reg for me and he just sent a link to the download... screw you Adobe! You're like the stingy uncle that you can't help but love. But seriously why do we have to pay this much more? - Someone made the point that is for localization... well I have never used it - ever... I understand why so much gets pirated with a pricing structure like this.
