Yes. I noticed the pricing was the same. I was thinking more about getting my hands on Delphi manuals. But I suppose, the digital copy has everything in PDF format anyway.<br><br>

<div>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).<br>

<div>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).</div>
