As for price, you just have to shop around. Sounds like you already found a better price than the MS ones here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/howtobuy/pricing.asp

Arc, if you can get the student discount, you can get the whole vs.net for pretty cheap.

If you don't qualify, maybe someone you know does??....but not sure if that is legal.
