I can't see it here?

Is there an option to include the printed manual together with the DVD (when it's sent out in a couple of weeks) to save shipping cost?

It's perhaps too subtle?

It's only $8 to Australia, so I ordered my copy. I haven't read the manual since version 3, would be good to refresh my memories.

I'd like to get the printed manual, but $30 is a bit to steep for me unfortunately.

I sort of feel a little penalized as well; If I was a X5 user, I wouldn't have a manual, but $99 would net me the new Pro version plus a manual. As an XP5 user, I have an outdated manual from the very first Pro version, but I still get to pay $99 to upgrade without getting a manual.

Still, I can live without being able to read up on things away from my PC. $30 is a significant contribution towards my next Guitar.

Odat: I think we (Xara users) have been *really* lucky in the past about pricing, really.
I can't blame Xara to increase their price.

Xara Designer Pro6 = $299
Update from Pro5 to Pro6 = $99 - 33% of the original price.

Adobe CS5 Master Collection = $2.599
Adobe CS4 to CS5 upgrade = $899 - 34% of the original price.

I think it puts things in perspective.

Regarding the manual, $30 is not cheap, but not too expensive either. CS5 doesn't come with printed manuals either (except the installation 'Manual' on how to enter the DVD's in your drive).
