It sounds like he was demoing the home version of Mandela, due for XMas. I believe it costs about $1500 for an A2000 version, so the price quoted could indeed be just for the additional stuff needed to run it on CDTV. Perhaps someone who knows more details (on the pricing) could either post them, or send me email to quote. - kevin PS: a much cheaper price, using one's own camera, would be way cool.
