Interesting trend...

Another example, form this morning:
Price for Photoshop CS6 in USA: 699 USD (Adobbe online shop)
Price for Photoshop CS5 (CS FIVE) in Spain: 1319,54 USD (Spanish Adobe  
online shop)

I could give more examples, as scandalous as this one.
The way the great US companys make themselves greater and greater.
A shame.
