Dp6 Upgrade At 195€, do you accept this? Options

[melenko]

Well, it seems obvious the upgrade's price of DP6 is 195$, all over the US.
Converting that price in € would give us a price of 123€.
Yet, the price of this upgrade will be 195€, in most of the EU countries!
I, personally, don't accept that treatment.
Motu is not totally responsable of his distributors, and I agree with the way they
sell their products, and let some updates free of charge.
But in this case, I can't accept that.
Don't forget 195€ is the customer's price, not a distibutor's price (including marging...).
Linking this with the average currency 's conversion will place that upgrade at +- 300$ !!!!!!
OK! Of course they are ship's costs,and so on, but don't you find the difference is unacceptable?
What do you think?
French users and some belgian ones are furious!
Let's have a look...

DP's french community is about 3000 people!
Let's imagine how many users that represents in the whole EU DP's community...
in Germany, the Netherlands, Zwitserland,Italy, and so on...?
I hope this will help to get a decent price...

Otherwise, I will seriously consider Apple'offer with Logic Pro.

Do we have the possibility to force European importers to respect the rules of the game?
I though we can cause we are in a strong position: we are victims of discrimination on the selling price.

Please Mister MOTU try to understand our position. We want to keep Digital Performer cause we believe in the quality of the product but by the fault of your dealers in europe, we are expecting to change Digital Performer for another sequencer ( for most of us, Logic will replace DP).

Please Mister MOTU, try to change its business practices unfair otherwise you will lose many customers
