Re:It is cheaper to fly to US than buy Adobe software in Australia on Wednesday February 13, 2013 @05:56AM (#5212427)
Its not only Aus.

Example: price of Creative Suite® 6 Design Standard is USD1,299 versus GBP1,227, despite the fact that the exchange rate is around 1.55.

For some stupid unknown reason, Adobe will usually charge the same unit price in GBP as they do in USD. They will quote "cost of operating" is higher in the UK, but 55% higher? Bullshit.
