Just a warning to frugal (mean) Aussies like me to beware of Customs and Excise when considering importing software. I opted to buy my Vegas 4 upgrade direct from Sony as I thought I would save about au$100 over the price from local agents. Durrrr, I got hit with au$107 import duty. All this in the same week our governments announced a free trade agreement too.
Have also heard that even $100 - $200 wedding presents are being hit with duty. Of course the sensible thing to do is download and just pay for activation, that way you also avoid the us$52 express package charge. I just thought this time I would like to have a box and the demo disks.
Ah well we live and learn. (why does it always have to be the hard way)
