Animation software,help please

[Griff 64]

My son who is 13 has his heart set on buying the software below.The cost is over £200 so i,m reluctant to ok it unless it is any good/something he can handle and get use out of.Seems to me that it cannot be considered a game at this price:so what is the main use of it.
I know very little about computers so not to techie on the answers.
Thanks in advance.

P.S main worry is there seems to be a never ending stream of add ons to the package so what do you need to have a good package

This place (http://www.contentparadise.com/us/user/home.php?cat=1576) is doing Poser 5 download for $20. I strongly recommend getting him started with that and see how he goes before spending a lot of money. Poser is a pretty complicated (if not tedious) piece of software. If he gets good results from it, then spend the money! If he gets bored of it quickly then you've only spent a few quid.
