ChessBase 6 is currently $99 at www.chessbaseusa.com -- it comes with 300,00
games.

The Thompson endgame databases are not included, but are available separately.
The ChessBase Opening Encyclopedia (contains assessments and suggestions) is
$99. If you just want a huge number of games (without assessments), you can get
1.1 million games (BigBase 99) for $49.50.
