The rosetta stone website has levels 1-3 for $209. Is this cheaper because it's an older edition? If so, anyone know if there's a major difference?

I don't think it matters, it updates to current programs setting (all my language installments have been changing/updating for years). I think it updates the lessons too, because when I check my status I find I have things I didn't due after an update.

All of the games listed are the complete version with no additional cost. You just choose from the list which ones you want to put on to your computer. They have their first versions of the game (not as good) up to the latest (very good). I have had more fun with that one purchase. It's a GREAT deal!

I think it is worth it. It comes with one game already installed which includes music, a book, and letter writing practice at the very least. I just picked up a bunch of the games for $1.98 at toys r us though if you change your mind.

Did you get it? I have one of them, it doesn't work. Neither do 3 others I have tried in the last week though, so I think I have a bad sound card. Sorry - I think it worked alright before it stopped working, but I could not swear it and I have a PC. Good luck.By the way, try Livemocha.com - beats Rosetta Stone hands-down for many languages, if you are careful about choosing your friends and build good relationships with the better tutors - and it is free.

If you are spending $439 USD for it, then it should be the Pro version, not academic. This looks like the full version to me. I say go for it!

I'm sorry, but I have no experience with Rosetta stone, I mean I know what it is, I've just never had anything to do with it. it seems to me it would be perfect for that kind of application, the sound is outstanding, and the mic works very well, i have nothing bad to say about this product. i would purchase it again.

Not through Rosetta Stone. For 5 months I worked Rosetta Stone every day and it did not produce fluency of any kind. My previous post will tell you why. I purchased a language suite from "Transparent Language" a lot cheaper and much more productive and portable on my tablet.

I checked the Rosetta Stone box and it says it operates on the following: Windows XP SP3, Vista SP2, Windows 7 and Windows 8. Hope this helps.

According to the box: XP SP3 or higher; Vista SP2 or higher; Windows 7 or higher. (I don't think Windows 8 was out yet, so I can't speak to their confidence about it being compatible with "7 or higher".) I bought it for my daughter, who has Windows 7 home premium, and I can testify it works on that. The Rosetta Stone Italiano itself is labelled "Version 4" -- I don't know the ramifications of that, but there may be earlier versions still available if you have an old Windows.

Hi, I really don't know why apparently a newer model costs less than the older one. As I wrote in my review, this product turned out to be a useless device, it could be because of a defect, I'm not sure. Maybe I should have bought an "EDIMAX" model instead. Hope you have a better luck. Regards,Agron

I checked around for prices on Amazon and other places. I have one that I got 6 years ago. Doesn't seem to be available at regular office supply stores. I was a teacher at the time...There is no way I paid that kind of price. It had to have been on sale and well under $100 when I bought it or it wouldn't have been purchased by me. They were not available on Logitech's website except for support. Sorry, It looks to me like scarcity on a good product has driven the price up, but I did find it on ebay for under $300. I know probably not a lot of help. Contact Logitech, maybe they can help. I checked around for prices on Amazon and other places. I have one that I got 6 years ago.

wtf is right. why is this going for almost 3x it's regular price? surely there is a new and improved version out there (which normally makes the price of the older model go DOWN). does anyone know?

I use windows 8 on my laptop. I absolutely LOVE Rosetta Stone. I am learning italian and it is by far the best lesson plan I have EVR had.

I believe the only difference between the 3 versions is the amount of included access time on Ancestry.com. FTM 2008 Basic is 1 month; FTM 2008 Deluxe is 3 months; FTM 2008 Platinum is 6 months. Now, if this full access to EVERYTHING (don't know if it is but since it says premium access, I would think so) I pay $300 a year for full access to both US and International records. If the premium access is limited to just the US, it's still $180 a year. Therefore, FTM 2008 Platinum, with the current rebate offered, is a great deal for 6 months free access that is worth anywhere between $90 to $150 in REAL dollars! And believe me, with access to those billions of records at Ancestry's web site, you are guaranteed to find many of your ancestors! I would jump at this deal if I could, but I already have a yearly subscription and I'm using FTM 2008.

I'm not sure what the April 25 reference means, but currently Talisman 4 ed is the current version(59.95 retail). Fantasy Flight Games lists it as out of stock, as well as a few other retailers. This could possibly account for some of the $90+ prices. As far as expansions go, I believe almost all exp. currently produced are for 4th ed.

You can only put It on three computers and the student version is the same but if you buy the academic version for schools it costs much less. If you buy one you can put it on three computers for $99 and if you want it on six computers it will cost about $189 and can be bought for that price through Corel.com. Am not sure if Amazon carries that version or not but probably does.

Hi, this was a gift for my grand kid who is on the 3rd grade, her mom says that this is a great program and challenging for her daughter. Therefore I could not give you more info. My grand kid is advance in learning, so based on my daughter's response I think is a good buy. This is just my opinion. I hope this helps.
