# Adobe Rip-off

The new Adobe Lightroom 2 is out. I looked at the upgrade on the Adobe site, and on the US store it's only a very reasonable $99 USD (or about $105 AUD), but on the Adobe AU store the upgrade is $179, a 70+% markup for Australia? Even with GST that doesn't match up.  
They are even worse than Apple where a MacBook Pro in the US is $1999, and in AU $2699, that's 'only' a 35% markup.
