DBPro and DBClassic are both fairly much the same at a beginner level - things like creating objects, moving and rotating them, affecting how they look etc are all fairly standard between the two. DBPro can do far more than DBC though, they're miles apart really, DBPro needs more muscle of course, and a decent GFX card and DX9.c - but that accounts for most modern PC's anyway.

You should try demo's of anything you want to buy, but really I suggest you jump right into DBPro and skip DBC altogether.

Erm, I probably shouldn't say this - but at the moment (Christmas offer) look at the price on Amazon.co.uk

Ah, so that's what dropped the price from £35 to £20 overnight on eBay.

I always wondered about this. If they sell it that cheap ... how do you guys make anything off it? Or do they just buy a mass quantitiy from you, make money off part/most of it, then just sell the rest at a major discount ?

They don't buy it from us - they buy it from the publisher (we're not the publisher, we just make it). The publisher in this country is Fast Trak. If you buy DBPro from us on our web site, the copy we send you has actually been bought from Fast Trak by us in the first place and then "re-sold".

It's just the way publishers work.

Amazon can't be making much profit from that sale, believe me.
