imho the value of physical media is a little limited given that the content is quickly superceded or at least significantly supplemented by required downloads for updates.
With XE2 quite apart from the commitment to monthly updates, physical media is especially useless if it does not include update #1 which necessitates the complete removal (uninstallation) of the original "gold" install and full re-install of the update #1 release. Just download and burn your own DVD or - as I have done - put all Delphi installers on a USB HDD/memory stick to have a Delphi "installation vault" you can carry in your pocket (on which all updates can also be put as/when they become available). Just saying. :) Buying in the US doesn't make any difference to pricing either, if that is what you were thinking. The "NZ" online store is in fact the "US Dollar International Store" and pricing is the same on there as on the US store itself (Delphi XE2 Pro: US$900/US$500 for new user/upgrade).
