I'm on the lookout for expansions packs for Session Drummer 2, and have noticed that the Session Drummer 2 Hip Hop Pack on the Cakewalk Store is only $9.99 in the US store. However, on the UK store it's £35.00 - more than the cost of actual plug-in and with the current exchange rate over $57!!

Is there a reason of this huge disparity in pricing?

Assuming the product is downloaded, am I able to buy it from the US store, even though I'm based in the UK?

Because you're british? ;-)

This has been done to death and Cakewalk has never answered.  It is rather weird pricing considering most of it is done over the internet and good arguements have been made that it ain't the EU or British taxes.  Nobody knows.

Some people have gotten the lower US price - but only through 3rd party vendors, I think.  You could try Cake and see if they let you slip through.

and best of the best in euros Cakewalk store sell it at 56 €.

I don't think this is a taxe.

It's a mistake but they don't do anything to correct price :
9.99$ = 56 €.

Come on, it's a great deal.

Must be the devalued dollar?  Blame it on Bernake. ;-)

Maybe they want to discourage Brits from making hip hop.

Who says you have to use hip hop kits to make hip hop music?

Intersetingly, I've cantacted Cakewalk customer Services directly, but have had no reply... hmm....

well, there's your problem. You should have contacted them instead

No wonder you didn't get a reply...lol

Of course, I did mean contacted

As of yet, I've still had no reply.

lower US price

Them Yankees in Boston still remember the battles of Bunker's and Breeds Hills?

Maybe the disparity in pricing is a tariff related issue.
