Pruplus is selling an OEM, not a retail, copy Photoshop Elements. It  
is meant to be bundled with hardware. That's why they include the  
cheap digital camera as part of the purchase. They explicitly tell  
you this on the page. The drawback to OEM software is that you are  
often treated as a second class customer by the Publisher. You are  
usually eligible for updates, but may not be for eligible for support  
or upgrades.
