4.0 out of 5 stars overpriced, December 4, 2003

By 

doppelganger "dvd-archive" (Chicago) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Vegas + DVD (CD-ROM)

Man, you gotta watch yourself with Amazon these days. This product (Vegas + DVD), is $200 MORE expensive at Amazon. Go to CDW online and purchase Vegas for $529. Eat it you bastards!

It will be a miracle if this review is posted.
