    When I start Parallels I get a message that the new 4.0 is around $44 (can't remember the exact amount) but when I go to the website the shopping cart shows that it will cost around $70. I've sent a message to the website contact but got no answer. Does anyone know why there is a discrepancy between the advertised price and the actual price?

    I got an offline reply that indicated that the price of $49.99 was correct but it did not address in anyway my question about why I cannot get that price when I attempt to buy it.

    It is US dollar price not Canadian
    But when you click upgrade it calculates according to your location
    In your case in CAD

    I do not think that the conversion is correct ... it is about $5 more than the exchange rate would justify.

    I was about to upgrade for $39.99 as per Parallels' promise until end December (see attached screen shot, taken 2 weeks ago). Yet the $39.99 price now appears to have vanished, and it's now $49.99. What's going on, Parallels?

    Thanks John. I have created a ticket addressed to the sales team as you suggested. I eagerly await their response!

    Would it be possible to post back to let other customers know the outcome of this situation?

    An update to this as promised. After several weeks of emailing Parallels support I still haven't received an answer as to why Parallels promised an upgrade price of $39.99 USD until end December 2008 then increased it to $49.99 USD at the start of December. Well, at least I tried.
