Not sure why this differentiation, but has been highlighted before. Apple is a huge culprit with iTunes and App store, which I am grateful for US established account saves huge dollars. Adobe same huge differences when recognises Au. Microsoft one of the few which actually is cheaper for some online store software mainly academic versions of OS's from themselves.
Yes they are all download sites, only issue Apple representative put forward was for iTunes local licensing agreements for music. ?????? But yes we definitely pay extra for all software digitally downloaded and definitely boxed, WHY?????? I have never been given a reasonable response except for exchange rate, but in recent times we have been sailing very close to US Dollar and improved dramatically against EU. Which brings me too Toast which I believe licensing for AU comes through the EU hence such a hike? I would suggest give it a day or two and try the US based eSoftware sites for a copy.
